When you make a booking with us using the Aurora B&B website, we collect the name of the primary guest who makes the booking, country of residence, contact information such as email address or telephone number of the person making the booking.
If on-line payment is made at the time of booking, debit or credit card numbers are taken by Stripe or PayPal and the use of this data is covered by their Terms and Conditions.
If payment is made either by phone at the time of booking or by debit or credit card at check out, the details are taken by Square and the use of this data is covered by their Terms and Conditions.
How we use the information we hold on you
We will use your email address to send you confirmation of the booking and details on how to find us and other information you may find useful for your stay.
We will not use your telephone number to contact you unless for an emergency and/or we have been unable to contact you by email.

How is your data stored
All of the personal data you supply us, as part of the booking process, is stored securely on a third party system, Wix.com.
