Privacy Policy

The purpose of a privacy policy is to communicate clearly the personal information handling practices of an organisation. Privacy policies enhance the transparency of the operations of organisations. They also give individuals a better and more complete understanding of the sort of personal information an organisation holds and the way it handles that information.

Personal information refers to any information which reveals your identity. In the context of your dealings with us, this is likely to include your name, title, sex, address, contact details including telephone numbers and email addresses, payment details, BNB preferences and any relevant correspondence.

The following statement sets out that ‘The Bugle Hut” policy relating to the collection, storage and use of personal information.

Collection of Personal Information

In general, our policy is that we only use or disclose personal information for the purpose which was either specified or reasonably apparent at the time we collected it. We may also use or disclose it for any other related purpose for which you would reasonably expect it to be used. For example, external organisations may be given access to your personal information like our contractors and service providers that are helping us operate our business or provide a service to you (for example, a company which helps maintain our computer systems or sends out our mail).

It is our usual practice to collect personal information directly from the individual. The Bugle Hut will not sell your personal information to other companies. Sometimes The Bugle Hut collects personal information from a third party or a publicly available source, but only if the individual provides consent to such collection or would reasonably expect The Bugle Hut to collect their personal information in this way.

  • the use is authorised by law or is reasonably necessary to enforce the law (for example, The Bugle Hut is required to disclose the information to regulatory authorities or in response to subpoenas or warrants).

  • The individual would reasonably expect, or has been told, that information of that kind is usually passed to those individuals, bodies or agencies

  • It will prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to somebody’s life or health
