Health, dietary and accessibility information
If you provide information about a medical condition, allergy, dietary requirement, disability or accessibility need, we will only use it where relevant to your safety or participation.
We will limit access to this information to people who genuinely need it and will not use it for marketing.

We do not normally receive or store your full payment-card details. Payment providers process this information using their own secure systems and privacy practices.

Accounting and professional advisers

Analytics providers where enabled

Some technology providers may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, we rely on the safeguards provided by those services and applicable data-protection law.
Email marketing
We may send news, course dates, camping dates and other Learn Bushcraft updates if you have chosen to receive marketing from us.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting:
Withdrawing marketing consent will not affect information we still need to send about an existing booking.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies.
Some cookies are essential for the website, booking system and security to work correctly. We may also use optional analytics or marketing cookies to understand how visitors use our website and help us improve it.
Non-essential cookies should only be activated after the visitor has given appropriate consent, and visitors should be able to reject or manage them. ICO
You can manage your choices using the cookie settings available on our website.
Photographs and video
We sometimes take photographs or video during bushcraft courses, camping weekends and woodland events.
Where photographs or videos identify individuals and are intended for promotional use, such as our website or social media, we will seek appropriate permission.
For children, we will seek permission from the appropriate parent, guardian or responsible organisation where required.
You can tell us if you do not wish to appear in promotional photographs or video.
How long we keep your information
We only keep personal information for as long as we reasonably need it.
For example:
-
Booking and financial records may be retained for the period required for tax, accounting and legal purposes.
-
General enquiries may normally be deleted when they are no longer needed.
-
Marketing information is retained until you unsubscribe or we no longer need it.
-
Health, dietary or accessibility information will not normally be retained longer than necessary for the relevant activity, unless there is a legitimate reason to keep it.
-
Incident or insurance records may be retained where necessary for legal or insurance purposes.
We periodically review the information we hold and securely delete information we no longer require.
