Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7/5/2025

At The Glamping Association, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, who we may share it with, and how you can manage your information. It applies to all interactions with us – whether you’re browsing our website, becoming a member, or contacting us directly.

 

1. What is Personal Data?

Personal data is any information that relates to you as an identifiable individual. This might include your name, email address, business name, phone number, or other details that help us provide services to you. Information that has been anonymised so it can’t be linked back to you is not considered personal data.

 

2. The Data We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with The Glamping Association. It may include:

  • Account and Membership Information – name, business name, address, email, phone number, and your chosen membership type.
  • Payment Details – billing information such as your address and payment method (e.g. debit or credit card). Payment details are handled securely by third-party providers and are not stored on our servers.
  • Usage Information – how you use our website or services, such as your preferences, site visits, or interactions with member listings.
  • Marketing Preferences – your choices around receiving updates, news, or promotional content.
  • Support Communications – messages sent via contact forms, email, or social media, including any feedback or queries.

You’re not required to provide all of this information, but doing so may be necessary for us to offer certain services or support.

 

3. How We Use Your Data

We only use your data when we have a lawful reason to do so, including:

  • To deliver our services – setting up your membership, processing listings, or giving you access to member tools.
  • To improve our website and services – understanding how people use our site helps us improve the experience.
  • To communicate with you – responding to enquiries, sending updates, or contacting you about your membership.
  • To promote your listing – if you’re a member, we may feature your listing or content in marketing materials on our website or third-party platforms. You can opt out of this at any time.
  • To comply with legal obligations – including tax and reporting requirements.

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that affects your rights.

 

4. Marketing and Communications

If you’re a member or have opted in to receive updates, we may contact you about events, news, or opportunities related to glamping and our wider community. You can change your preferences or unsubscribe at any time using the links in our emails or by contacting us.

If you’ve submitted content or imagery for your listing, you agree that The Glamping Association may use this material in our own marketing. If you wish to remove your content from any campaigns, you can let us know and we’ll do our best to remove it promptly.

 

5. Cookies and Website Tracking

We use cookies to enhance your experience, analyse website traffic, and support marketing efforts. Non-essential cookies are only used when you give consent.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by visiting our Cookie Policy or adjusting settings through the cookie banner on our website.

 

6. Sharing Your Data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it in limited circumstances, such as:

  • With trusted service providers who help us deliver services (e.g. website hosting, payment processors).
  • With partners where necessary to deliver a joint offering (e.g. insurance companies if you request a quote through our site).
  • If required by law, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

Any third-party provider we work with must handle your data in accordance with data protection laws and only as instructed by us.

 

7. How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain personal data only for as long as needed to:

  • Provide services to you
  • Meet our legal and tax obligations
  • Maintain records of your consent or membership activity

When your data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.

 

8. Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you have rights to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Request deletion (unless we’re required to keep it)
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Withdraw your consent at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)

To make a request, contact us. We may ask for confirmation of your identity before responding.

 

9. How We Protect Your Data

We use a combination of technical, organisational, and administrative safeguards to keep your data secure. This includes encrypted connections, secure servers, and limiting access to authorised team members only.

 

10. Changes to This Policy

If we make any significant changes to this Privacy Policy, we will:

  • Update the version and date at the top of this page

  • Notify you directly if we hold your email address
