Data handling overview
We may collect identification and contact details, booking and payment information, group size, preferred dates, dietary information you choose to provide, communication records, and basic technical data such as device and usage information. We also process information needed to arrange meeting points, confirm route details, and manage the guided experience.
Data is collected when you submit a consultation request, contact us by email or phone, complete a booking, share dietary or route preferences, or communicate with us before or during the tour. Some technical data is generated automatically when you use the website.
We may use session cookies to operate the site, preference cookies to remember settings, and analytics cookies to understand general site use. Cookies are used for security, performance, and service improvement purposes, and they do not give us access to information beyond what is needed for those functions.
You may manage cookies through your browser controls and, where available, through any on-site preference tools. Disabling some cookies may affect site functionality, form handling, or preference storage.
Subject to legal limits, you may request access to your data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of certain records, or restriction of particular processing activities. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests where that basis is used.
To make a privacy request, use the contact details in this policy and describe the data or activity concerned. We may ask for information needed to verify the request and to protect against unauthorized disclosure.
Booking, payment, and communication records are retained for the period needed to manage the service, resolve disputes, meet accounting or tax obligations, and maintain business records. When data is no longer required, it is deleted, anonymized, or otherwise handled in a secure manner.
The updated version will apply from the date it is posted on the website unless a different effective date is stated. Where a change is material, we will take reasonable steps to draw attention to it before it takes effect.
We use personal data to respond to inquiries, assess availability, confirm group details and dietary information, arrange route and tasting logistics, process payments, manage meeting point check-ins, provide the guided experience, maintain records, improve website performance, and comply with legal obligations.
We may share data with service providers that support website hosting, communications, payment processing, record management, or similar operational tasks. Where a booking requires coordination with a venue, tasting stop, or other third party, we may share limited details needed to confirm the arrangement and deliver the requested experience.
We may share personal data with public authorities, courts, or other parties when disclosure is required by law, necessary to respond to lawful requests, or needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. We may also disclose information where necessary to protect our rights, users, or the integrity of the service.
