The Wilf Ward Family Trust is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using this website, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.

What information do we hold?

The Bempton Holidays team will retain the contact details you supplied at point of booking.

Who can see the information?

The Bempton Holidays Team and the Trust’s Finance Department at the Registered Office have access to the booking details to process the booking, raise an invoice and receive payments.

Why do we need to see your information?

We need to keep the information to maintain communication with you to enable your holiday and to comply with accounting and HMRC regulations.

If you have given consent for us to contact you via e-mail (by ticking the ‘allow marketing’ box) we may do so with details of any special offers we have.

Where is your information kept?

The Bempton Holiday Team have a hard copy of your booking details in case they are unable to access the on-line record. Financial transactions are recorded on the Trust’s secure accounting system.

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

How long do we keep your information for?

The Trust’s copy of on-line Booking is deleted in the April following the month in which the holiday takes place. The Booking software is owned by Holiday Bookings On Line Ltd and they have to comply with HMRC regulations for records. (See https://www.holiday-bookings-online.com/HBO_Privacy_Policy.pdf)

The printed copy is shredded a month after your holiday takes place. Financial records have to comply with HMRC regulations and are kept, after audit, for six financial years.

How are we meeting the legislation regarding the protection of your information?

We believe that our processing is necessary for performance of a contract with yourself and for compliance with a legal obligation (financial record keeping).

Marketing processing is only with your consent.

There is no automated decision-making within our processes.

What rights do you have?

The law relating to data protection provides you with certain rights:

You have the right to ask us to provide you with further information about your personal data, including the right to request a copy of your personal data held by us.
You have the right to ask us to correct any inaccurate information we may hold about you or to have your data erased.
