Privacy Policy

This page explains, in plain language, what personal information this website gathers, why it is needed and the choices you have. By using the site you accept the practices described here, alongside our Terms of Use.

Information We Collect

We keep collection to a minimum. Information generally falls into two groups:

Details you give us, such as your name and email address when you send a message or sign up for updates.
Details gathered automatically, such as your browser type, device, approximate location, the pages you open and how long you stay.

We do not ask for payment card numbers or other sensitive financial details.

How We Use It

Your information helps us to:

reply to questions and feedback;
understand which pages are useful so we can improve them;
keep the site running smoothly and spot misuse;
send occasional updates, only if you have asked for them.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Some are essential for the site to work, while others count visits or remember your preferences. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time, although a few features may then stop working as expected.

Sharing With Others

We never sell your personal information. We may pass limited details to trusted service providers, for example hosting or analytics partners, who act on our instructions and must keep the data safe. We may also share information where the law requires it. Some pages contain links to other websites; their own privacy policies apply once you leave this site.

Keeping Your Data Safe

We use sensible safeguards, including secure connections and restricted access, to protect your information. No online system is completely risk-free, but we review our measures regularly and keep data only for as long as it is genuinely needed.

Your Rights

Under UK data protection law you may ask to:

see a copy of the information we hold about you;
correct anything that is wrong or out of date;
have your information deleted;
object to, or limit, how it is used;
withdraw consent, such as unsubscribing from emails.

You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you feel your data has been mishandled.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will appear on this page, so it is worth checking back now and then.

Get in Touch

If you have a question or wish to use any of your rights, email info@appletreeandavalon.co.uk or use our Contact page. We aim to respond within a reasonable time.
