How do you use my information?

How do you use my information?

This blog post introduces you to a video that I shot to answer the common question of “How do you use my information?”. It’s part of our series of ‘You Ask, We Answer’ videos and blogs. They cover loads of our FAQ’s, or Frequently Asked Questions, but with a (we hope) really helpful deeper dive.

At Woodfarm Barns & Barges, we understand that planning the perfect getaway involves many questions and uncertainties. To help you navigate through these and to ensure you have the best experience possible, we’ve launched our ‘You Ask, We Answer’ initiative. This approach isn’t just about promoting our Barns, Cottages and Barges; it’s about providing valuable information, solutions, and peace of mind to our prospective guests.

Anyway, this is the video, and the transcript is below it if you wish to go back over anything.

This is what I said…

Understanding GDPR and Your Information with Woodfarm Barns and Barges

Hello, it’s Carl, and this video is all about GDPR, your information, and related concerns.

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

First, let me assure you that Woodfarm Barns and Barges is a small business, owned and operated by me. We are not a big corporation. Your information is safe with us. We never sell or share your information with anyone. It’s only me you’ll ever hear from.

Why We Collect Your Information

One of the primary ways we use your information is for marketing purposes. We run competitions regularly, giving away several free breaks each year. By collecting email addresses, we can inform you about these competitions, cancellations, and last-minute availability.

The Rationale Behind Our Competitions

We give away a couple of breaks every year. With 11 properties available for bookings, each capable of two bookings a week (weekend and midweek), over 52 weeks, that’s more than 1,000 potential breaks annually. Giving away two breaks accounts for about 0.17% of our total availability. This is a small percentage but offers a fantastic prize for the winners. It’s an effective marketing strategy to build our database.

Your Control Over Your Data

You can unsubscribe from our database anytime. Simply email me to opt out or click the unsubscribe button provided in our communications. It’s that easy. Your privacy and comfort are important to us.

Get in Touch

If you have any concerns about your information, my contact details are available on our website. Feel free to call or email me. I’m here to help.

Stay Connected

Please subscribe to our YouTube channel by clicking the logo that will appear on the right-hand side of your screen. This way, you can stay updated with more videos. Also, subscribe to our newsletters for updates on cancellations, competitions, and last-minute availability. Rest assured, you will only receive communications from me.

Finally, follow us on social media for more updates and information.

I hope this has been helpful. See you in the next video!

Bye for now.
