Grand Get-Togethers Privacy Policy
At Grand Get-Togethers, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of visitors to our
web site and subscribers to our newsletters. Here you’ll find information on how we treat data that we
collect from visitors to our website, or when someone subscribes to our newsletter.
Visitors to our Website
When someone visits www.grandgettogethers.co.uk we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to
collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out
things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed
in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any
attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. You can find more information on how
cookies are used on this website in the Cookies Policy below.
If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will clearly state this,
for example in the form of a sign-up button for newsletters which will ask for your contact details.
We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it,
how we will store it and how long we intend to store it for.
Newsletter Sign Up
As part of the registration process for our monthly e-newsletter, we collect personal information. We use
that information to tell you about new products; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional
information; to check our records are right and to ask your views on our offer.
We do not rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.
We use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email
opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-
newsletter. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice.
You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of
any of our emails.
CRM Database
We maintain a cloud-based CRM database that we use to store contact details for our members,
subscribers, suppliers and customers.
The data held in the database typically includes name, contact details and a record of contact. This
information is used only for the purposes of contacting individuals in regard to their booking, to keep
them informed with offers, availability and Grand Get-Togethers latest news.
The data is not shared with third parties or transferred in any other way by Grand Get-Togethers and is
not used to generate marketing materials or other forms of communication.
Access to Your Personal Information
You are entitled to access the personal information that we hold. Requests should be emailed to
molly @ grandgettogethers.co.uk who has responsibility for our data compliance.

Grand Get-Togethers Cookies Policy
We use a system of classifying the different types of cookies which we use on the Website, or which
may be used by third parties through our websites. The classification was developed by the
International Chamber of Commerce UK and explains more about which cookies we use, why we use
them, and the functionality you will lose if you decide you don't want to have them on your device.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your personal
computer, mobile or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the
originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies
are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user's device.
How long are cookies stored for?
Persistent cookies - these cookies remain on a user's device for the period of time specified in the
cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.
Session cookies - these cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser
session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close
the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session
cookies are deleted.
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your
preferences, and generally improve the user experience.
