*Notes about Cookies. Our website uses cookies in two different ways
in two different cases.

1. 
   

   In most cases the cookies are used to identify to the
   server which computer has asked for what information. An example would
   be dynamic pages (like our property list), where the web-site visitor
   clicks on a link which request information from a database.
   
   
   
   These cookies don't identify the person browsing the website as a
   person, they are just a unique number assigned to the computer the
   visitor is using to allow the server to send the right information to
   the right computer and are only used for the duration of your visit to
   the site. No records of these cookies are kept after you have left the
   site.
   
    



2. 
   

   Some parts of our site may require the web-site
   visitor to 'log-in', using a username and password, to view restricted
   content. In some cases these areas will use a cookie to store user
   preferences.
   
    

How do we use the information

Information is frequently collected electronically, ie by email
or through the on-line forms. This information is checked and
used for the following purposes:-

• Where required by law
  
  For example, keeping invoices etc for financial records.


• For the purposes of contacting / replying to clients and
  prospective clients.
  
  For example, replying to email and web-from enquiries,
  correspondence with existing clients etc.


• For administration purposes.
  
  For Example we keep copies of enquiries, contracts etc. These
  are identified with the clients name, date etc.

How long do we keep information ?

The
short answer is only as long as is necessary. Some information
needs to be kept for longer periods (clients contact details
on invoices etc) but we regularly delete/destroy information
that is no longer of relevance.

Do we exchange information with others ?

lochcarroncottages.co.uk does not exchange/pass data on to
third parties unless required to do so by law or asked
specifically to do so by the client.

If you
are a client or have contacted us in the past and wish to find
out what information we hold with your data, then please
complete the contact form requesting the information. There is
no charge for this, but there are security procedures that
will need to be followed.
