Why do we collect, use and share your personal data?

  • Reservations: First and foremost, we use your personal data to complete and administer your online reservation and forward your reservation details to the accommodation you have booked.
  • Order Fulfillment: To complete an order that is placed in the online store
  • Marketing activities: We also use your information for marketing activities, as permitted by law. For example:
  • When you make a reservation with us, we may use your contact information to send you news about similar travel-related products and services. We may also send our customers regular newsletters by email. You can opt out, or unsubscribe, from marketing communication at any time.

  • We may need to respond to and handle requests you have made.
  • If you haven’t finalized a reservation online, we may email you a reminder to continue with your reservation. We believe that this additional service is useful to you because it allows you to carry on with a reservation without having to search for the accommodation again or fill in all the reservation details from scratch.
  • When you use our services, we may send you a questionnaire or invite you to provide a review about your experience.

Reservations

Our reservations are handled by Ranchbookings.com.

When you make a reservation, you’ll be asked for your name, address, telephone number, email address, payment details, the names of guests traveling with you and your preferences for your stay.

How does RanchBookings.com share your reservation data with third parties?

In certain circumstances, we may share your personal data with third parties.

  • The accommodation you booked: In order to complete your reservation, we need to transfer relevant reservation details to the accommodation you booked with. This may include information like your name, contact and payment details, the names of guests traveling with you and any preferences you specified when making a booking.
  • Third-party service providers: We may use third-party service providers to process your personal information on our behalf for the purposes specified above. For example, we may use service providers to send the reservation information on our behalf to the accommodation you just booked, or we may instruct third parties to contact you. When a reservation requires it, we may also work with third-party payment service providers to facilitate payment or payment guarantees. We also work with third-party advertisement networks to market our accommodation and services on other platforms, or involve third-party providers for analytical purposes.
