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.

We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.

Search engine

Our website search and decision notice search is powered by ????????. Search

Queries and results are logged anonymously to help us improve our website and search functionality. No user-specific data is collected by either CS Disabled  Holidays Ltd or any third party

WordPress

We use a third party service, WordPress.com, to publish our blog,. We use a standard WordPress service to collect anonymous

information about users' activity on the site, for example the number of users

viewing pages on the site, to monitor and report on the effectiveness of the site

and help us improve it. WordPress requires visitors that want to post a comment

People who email us

We monitor any emails sent to us, including file attachments, for viruses or

malicious software. Please be aware that you have a responsibility to ensure that any email you send is within the bounds of the law.

People who make a complaint to us

When we receive a complaint from a person we make up a file containing the details of the complaint. This normally contains the identity of the complainant and any other individuals involved in the complaint.


We will only use the personal information we collect to process the complaint and to check on the level of service we provide. We do compile and publish statistics showing information like the number of complaints we receive, but not in a form which identifies anyone.  We usually have to disclose the complainant’s identity to whoever the complaint is about. This is inevitable where, for example, the accuracy of a person’s record is in dispute. If a complainant doesn’t want information identifying him or her to be disclosed, we will try to respect that. However, it may not be possible to handle a complaint on an anonymous basis. We will keep personal information contained in complaint files in line with our retention policy. This means that information relating to a complaint will be retained for two years from closure. It will be retained in a secure environment and access to it will be restricted according to the ‘need to know’ principle. Similarly, where enquiries are submitted to us we will only use the information supplied to us to deal with the enquiry and any subsequent issues and to check on the level of service we provide.
