However, we will always take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected.

The only exceptions to this are where the law requires us to hold your personal information for a longer period, or delete it sooner;

• You exercise your right to have the information erased (where it applies) and we do not need to hold it in connection with any of the reasons permitted in this section 6, or because we are required under the law (see further “Erasing your personal information or restricting its processing” in Section 7.6); and
• In limited cases, the law permits us to keep your personal information indefinitely provided we put certain protections in place.

• Accessing your personal information

You have the right to ask for a copy of the information that we hold about you by emailing or writing to us at the address at the end of this policy.

• Correcting and updating your personal information

The accuracy of your information is important to us and we are working on ways to make it easier for you to review and correct the information that we hold about you.

You may also ask us to restrict processing your personal information in the following situations:

• where you believe it is unlawful for us to do so,
• you have objected to its use and our investigation is pending or you require us to keep it in connection with legal proceedings.

In these situations, we may only process your personal information whilst its processing is restricted if we have your consent or are legally permitted to do so, for example for storage purposes, to protect the rights of another individual or company or in connection with legal proceedings.

• Transferring your personal information in a structured data file

Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing your personal information or need to process it in connection with your contract, as set out under Section 4 “How we use your personal information”, you may ask us to provide you with a copy of that information in a structured data file. We will provide this to you electronically in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable form, such as a CSV file. 
You can ask us to send your personal information directly to another service provider, and we will do so if this is technically possible. We may not provide you with a copy of your personal information if this concerns other individuals or we have another lawful reason to withhold that information.

SECURITY / COOKIES / LINKS / SOCIAL PLUGINS

• Security measures we put in place to protect your personal information

Wyboston Lakes use technical and organisational security measures to protect the personal information supplied by you and managed by us against manipulation, loss, destruction, and access by third parties. Our security measures are continually improved in line with technological developments.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information whilst in transit to our website and any transmission is at your own risk.

Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access an account, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

8.2         Use of 'Cookies' and Consent

'Cookies' are small pieces of information sent to your device and stored on its hard drive to allow our websites to recognize you when you visit. Our cookies don't store sensitive information such as your name, address, or payment details: they simply hold the 'key' that, once you're signed in, you are associated with this information.

Cookies help us collect and analyse visitor information such as browser usage, new visitor numbers, response to marketing activity, and shopping times, etc. That information helps us improve the website and your shopping experience and to make our marketing campaigns relevant. The data stored by these cookies can be seen only by the marketing team at Wyboston Lakes Resort and we never share any confidential information.

We have implemented Google's consent mode v2, which allows us to adjust how our site uses cookies based on user consent preferences. This means that we will only activate certain cookies and tracking after you have provided your consent.

However, if you'd prefer to restrict, block, or delete cookies from our site, or any other website, you can use your browser to do this. Each browser is different, so check the 'Help' menu of your particular browser (or your mobile phone's handset manual) to learn how to change your cookie preferences. Users have the opportunity to set their devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time.

8.3         Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to other websites run by other organisations which we do not control. This policy does not apply to those other websites and Apps‚ so we encourage you to read their privacy statements. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other websites and Apps (even if you access them using links that we provide) and we provide links to those websites solely for your information and convenience. We specifically disclaim responsibility for their content, privacy practices and terms of use, and we make no endorsements, representations or promises about their accuracy, content or thoroughness. Your disclosure of personal information to third party websites is at your own risk.

In addition, if you linked to our website from a third-party website, we cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the owners and operators of that third-party website and recommend that you check the policy of that third-party website.

8.4         Social plugins

We use so-called social plugins (buttons) of social networks such as Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn.

When you visit our websites, these buttons are deactivated by default, i.e. without your intervention, they will not send any data to the respective social networks. Before you are able to use these buttons, you must activate them by clicking on them. They then remain active until you deactivate them again or delete your cookies.

After their activation, a direct link to the server of the respective social network is established. The contents of the button are then transmitted from the social network directly to your browser and incorporated in the website.

After activation of a button, the social network can retrieve data, independently of whether you interact with the button or not.

If you are a member of a social network and do not wish it to combine data retrieved from your visit to our website, you must log out from the social network concerned before activating the buttons.

We have no influence on the scope of data that is collected by the social networks through their buttons. The data use policies of the social networks provide information on the purpose and extent of the data that they collect, how this data is processed and used, the rights available to you and the settings that you can use to protect your privacy.
