Privacy Policy

This statement explains the privacy and data protection practices which apply to Campsites.co.uk, as provided by Addactive Limited. We understand and respect the importance of safeguarding your data and, while collecting personal information is necessary to satisfy the expectations and requirements of our visitors, we fully appreciate that your information must be handled respectfully.

This policy explains what information we collect, what we do with it, and the protections you have.

Collecting information

We only collect personal data from you by specifically asking for it:

When you submit an enquiry to or make a booking with one of our campsites or accommodation providers
When you submit a campsite review

Your name and contact details, including telephone number, email and postal address
Specific information relating to your booking, as required by the campsite (eg. vehicle number plate, age, membership number, etc.)

We will only use your personal information to satisfy your expectations and fulfil our obligations to our accommodation providers as follows:

To pass on the information required by our accommodation providers to secure and fulfil your booking
To send you confirmation of your enquiry or booking, follow it up, or ask for feedback
To send you our email newsletter if you have registered for it, until you unsubscribe

Data security and retention

We are committed to protecting your privacy and follow strict security procedures to ensure that your personal information is not damaged, destroyed, or disclosed to a third party without your permission, as well as to prevent unauthorised access. The computers that store the information are kept in a secure facility with restricted physical access, and we use hardware firewalls and other measures to restrict electronic access.

Your personal information will be stored for no longer than is reasonably required for record keeping, complying with legal obligations and resolving disputes. Any information which we have identified as sensitive will be encrypted prior to storage.

None of the information that we collect will be disclosed to any third party, other than when contacting a specific campsite on your behalf, to data processors acting on our behalf, or if we are required to do so by law.

We will never share your information with third parties for their own marketing purposes without your express consent.
