What personal information do we collect?

We collect only the information you actively provide to us:

• Contact form submissions: When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.
• Server logs: Our web server automatically records standard technical information when you visit the site, including your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit. This is standard practice for all websites and is used solely for security and technical maintenance.

We do not run a webshop, take online payments, offer user accounts, or send newsletters. We do not collect any financial information.

When do we collect information?

We collect information only when you voluntarily submit our contact form, or automatically via server logs when you browse our website.

How do we use your information?

We use the information you submit solely to:

• Respond to your enquiry or booking request
• Follow up on prior correspondence

We do not use your information for marketing, profiling, or any other purpose without your explicit consent.

How long do we keep your information?

Contact form submissions are retained for up to 24 months, after which they are deleted. Server logs are retained for a maximum of 90 days.

How do we protect your information?

Our website uses SSL (HTTPS) encryption for all data in transit. Access to any personal data we hold is restricted to the lodge owners. We do not store payment information of any kind.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device. We use the following types:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Set by WordPress to ensure the website functions correctly. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies: We may use anonymised analytics to understand how visitors use the site. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.

You can control cookie preferences through the cookie notice on your first visit, or through your browser settings at any time.

Third-party disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties. Our website contains links to external sites (such as ferry timetables and map services) — once you leave our site, their own privacy policies apply.
