Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

The Celtic Couple is the personal travel website of Dave and Georgina Roberts, based near Snowdonia National Park, North-West Wales, UK.
You can contact us at info@thecelticcouple.com or by phone on 073672 92269.

2. Information We Collect

  • Information you provide voluntarily
    • Name, email address and message details when you send us an email or complete the on-site contact form.
  • Automatically collected information
    • IP address, browser type, referring pages and basic analytics dates/times via first-party cookies and privacy-friendly analytics tools (see our Cookie Policy).

3. How We Use Your Data

  • To reply to enquiries, collaboration requests or partnership proposals.
  • To maintain the security and performance of this static website.
  • To understand aggregated, anonymous visitor trends so we can improve our content (for example, which gallery pages are most popular).

4. Legal Bases (UK GDPR / EU GDPR)

We rely on either legitimate interests (running and protecting our site) or consent (when you actively provide information through the contact form).

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal information. Data may be processed by trusted third-party services strictly for the purposes listed above—for instance, our email hosting provider or privacy-centric analytics platform. All such processors comply with UK/EU data-protection standards.

6. Data Retention

Emails and contact-form submissions are retained for up to 24 months, after which they are deleted unless continued communication is ongoing. Aggregated analytics data are kept indefinitely but cannot be used to identify you.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request rectification of inaccurate data.
  • Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”).
  • Object to or restrict certain processing activities.
  • Data portability (where technically feasible).

To exercise any of these rights, email info@thecelticcouple.com. If you are unhappy with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

8. Security Measures

This site is served over HTTPS. We practise least-privilege access and keep software up-to-date. Our static-file hosting uses server-side protective measures such as firewalls and automated backups.

9. International Transfers

Our email servers and analytics provider are located within the UK/EU; should data ever be transferred outside these regions, it will be protected under appropriate safeguards (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses).

10. Children

This website is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time; any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date below.
