Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how we handle your personal information on our website, downton.uk, which provides news and information about Downton village in Wiltshire, UK. We are based in the UK and comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018.

This site may include affiliate links to third-party services, such as Booking.com and similar partners. If we link to accommodation, events, or other services relevant to the area, these might be affiliate links. Clicking on them and completing a booking or purchase could earn us a small commission at no extra cost to you.

These affiliate partners may use cookies or similar technologies to track referrals from our site. This helps them attribute any transaction back to us. Information collected (such as your IP address, browser details, or transaction info) is handled directly by the partner according to their own privacy policy. We do not receive or store this personal data ourselves, only aggregated reports if any.

For details on how a specific partner processes data, please check their privacy policy (for example, Booking.com's is on their site). You can manage or block cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.

The only way we might collect your personal information directly is if you choose to get in touch via our contact form. In that case, you might provide details like your name, email address, or message content. We use this information solely to respond to your enquiry. Once we have replied, we delete your details from our records.

We do not share your information with anyone else, unless required by law.

You have rights under data protection laws, such as the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. If you have any questions or want to exercise these rights, please contact us using the same form.

We might update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted here, so check back occasionally.
