We also collect technical data automatically when you visit the website, including your IP address and browser type, through standard server logs and embedded third-party content (see Section 5).

3. Why we collect it and the legal basis
We process your personal data for the following purposes:
- To respond to your enquiry and, if applicable, confirm a booking - legal basis: performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR)
- To manage our ongoing relationship with guests - legal basis: legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR)

Google Ads data is retained according to Google's own retention policies, which you can review at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Our website embeds a Google Maps map. When you load the page, Google may collect data about your visit, including your IP address. This is subject to Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Google may collect data including your IP address, browser type, and browsing behaviour for this purpose. You can opt out of personalised advertising at https://adssettings.google.com.
We do not display third-party advertisements on this website and we do not sell your data to any third party.
6. Data transfers outside the EU
Google Maps and Google Ads are operated by Google LLC, based in the United States. Google relies on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission as the legal basis for transferring data outside the EU.
