Some of these services store data outside the UK. They protect it using safeguards approved under UK data protection law.

How long we keep it

Booking records and payment details are kept for 6 years, as required for financial records. Enquiries that don't lead to a booking are deleted after 12 months. Mailing list details are kept until you unsubscribe.
