Please read the following carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

The rules on processing of personal data are set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), which this Data Privacy Notice is based on.

Security Statement

We treat the information that you provide to us as confidential information. We work to protect the security of your information during the transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts the information that you input. This allows your computer to communicate with our server in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. You will also know when you are in a secure mode when the padlock or key icon in lower right-hand or left hand corner of the computer screen appears in the locked position. In addition, the first characters of the site address will change from ‘http’ to ‘https’ when accessing the server.

Whilst we take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information, data transmission over the Internet cannot be entirely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the security of the information you disclose online and the use of our facilities (e.g. email) is at your own risk.

Over Blairish Cottage will not be liable for any damages or losses suffered directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with unauthorised access, loss or corruption of personal data which you provide to us on this website unless we have been found to be negligent

if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our Terms of Use or relevant terms and conditions of supply of goods, services and/or information and other agreements; or
to protect the rights, property, or safety of our employees, customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of, but not limited to, fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

We keep your personal data for no longer than reasonably necessary for the purposes of our processing, or when you would request that we do not collect, hold or process any of your information.
