Privacy Policy

When you book a session or get in touch, we collect: your name, contact details (email and/or phone), the names and ages of any children attending, and the contents of your message or booking notes.

For Family Bushcraft and Tweens Bushcraft sessions, attendee names and ages are recorded for every session. This is a safeguarding requirement — we need to know who is in the woods with us.

Payments for sessions (when our online booking goes live) are processed by GoCardless. We do not see, store, or process your bank or card details ourselves.

We use the information you give us only to run our sessions and stay in touch about your booking. That means: confirming your place, sending joining instructions, contacting you if a session has to be moved, and responding to your enquiries.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing. We do not pass attendee records to anyone outside Beowulf Bushcraft except where we are legally required to (for example, in a safeguarding referral).

We have a strict policy: we do not photograph other people's children. Any photos we share — on this site, on Instagram, or on Facebook — show the work, the woodland, the kit, and the activities. Not faces.

If we ever want to use a photograph that includes a child's face for marketing, we ask the parent or guardian for specific written permission first. You can withdraw that permission at any time.

This site is built to be lean. At launch we use a minimal set of essential cookies needed to make the site work — nothing more.

We may add basic analytics (Google Analytics 4 / GA4) at or shortly after launch, to help us understand how the site is being used and where to improve it. GA4 collects anonymised data about page visits and interactions; it does not identify you personally. If we add it, we'll update this policy and add a cookie notice so you can choose to opt out.

You can also disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Attendee records (names and ages) are kept for legitimate safeguarding purposes only, and for the period reasonably necessary to fulfil that purpose. Enquiry messages are kept for as long as we need them to respond and follow up.

You can ask us to delete your records at any time, except where we are legally required to retain them.

Under UK GDPR you have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; ask us to correct it if it's wrong; ask us to delete it; restrict or object to how we use it; and request a copy of your data in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@beowulfbushcraft.co.uk. We aim to respond within 30 days. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

For any data or privacy question, write to info@beowulfbushcraft.co.uk and mark your message "Privacy". We'll come back to you as quickly as we can.
