How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for several legitimate purposes. Your data helps us improve our website functionality, user experience, and content. We analyse usage patterns to understand what information about walks, trails, and local attractions interests our visitors most.

When you contact us, we use your information to respond promptly and accurately to your questions about retirement walks, accessibility, or local recommendations. We may also use your information to send occasional updates about new walking routes or services, but only if you have opted in to receive such communications.

We never sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Your data remains confidential and is used solely for the purposes outlined in this policy. We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information from unauthorised access or misuse.

Your Privacy Rights

You have several rights regarding your personal information. You can request access to any data we hold about you, and we will provide it in a clear, understandable format. If you believe any information is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request corrections.

You can also request the deletion of your personal data at any time, subject to certain legal obligations. We will honour your request within thirty days and will no longer process your information for any purpose unless legally required to retain it.

We take data security seriously and employ industry-standard encryption and security protocols to protect your information. Our website uses SSL certificates to ensure secure transmission of data between your browser and our servers. Access to your personal information is restricted to authorised personnel only.

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. When you request deletion or when information is no longer needed, we securely destroy it. Automated logs and analytics data are typically retained for twelve months before being permanently deleted.
