Cookie & Privacy Policy

About this policy

This policy explains how seadreamlodge.co.uk uses cookies and handles any personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), and the Data Protection Act 2018.

We take your privacy seriously. This website does not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or marketing analytics. The only cookies present on this site are functional — they are necessary for embedded features such as maps and video to work correctly.

As we use only functional cookies, no consent banner is required under PECR. However, we provide full transparency here so you understand exactly what is loaded and why.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help websites remember information about your visit — for example your preferred language or login state. Cookies can be set by the website itself ("first-party") or by third-party services embedded in the page.

Under PECR, cookies that are strictly necessary for a service you have requested do not require your consent. All cookies on this site fall within that category.

Cookies used on this site

The following third-party services are embedded on this website and may set cookies or make network requests to their servers:

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other advertising or tracking technology on this site. No tracking cookies

Personal data we collect

This website does not contain a contact form and does not directly collect personal data from visitors.

If you contact us by email (hello@seadreamlodge.co.uk) or telephone, the information you provide is used solely to respond to your enquiry and, if a booking is made, to fulfil that booking. We do not share your personal data with third parties other than the booking platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com) through which you have already chosen to book.

Booking data (name, contact details, dates, payment) processed through Airbnb or Booking.com is governed by those platforms' own privacy policies. We receive only the information necessary to manage your stay.

Your rights under UK GDPR

Where we hold any personal data about you (for example if you have contacted us by email), you have the following rights:

• Right of access — you may request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification — you may ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Right to erasure — you may ask us to delete your personal data where there is no compelling reason to retain it
• Right to restrict processing — you may ask us to limit how we use your data
• Right to object — you may object to our processing of your personal data
• Right to data portability — you may request that we transfer your data to another organisation or directly to you

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@seadreamlodge.co.uk. We will respond within one calendar month.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you are concerned about how we handle your personal data.
