This Privacy Policy describes how VillasToCastles collects, uses, and discloses information when you use our website, services, and digital concierge tools.
1. Scope and Operator Details
Villas to Castles is an independent discovery and editorial catalog for European heritage stays. It publishes verified castle listings, destination guides, and planning resources. We do not process booking transactions directly; reservations are completed with external verified partners (e.g. Booking.com, VRBO, Relais & Châteaux, or direct castle operators).
2. Information We Collect
- Contact and Inquiry Data: Name, email address, phone number, and message content submitted through our contact or concierge forms.
- Newsletter Data: Email address submitted to receive our curated European estate dispatches.
- Technical and Device Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referral URLs, and interactions with property listings.
- Consent Records: Cookie preferences and privacy consent choices recorded via our consent manager.
3. How We Use Information
We use collected data to respond to concierge inquiries, deliver newsletter dispatches, maintain site security, optimize search relevance, and analyze aggregated readership trends.
4. Affiliate and Third-Party Links
When you click an outbound link to view rates or book a stay, you are transferred to an external provider whose own privacy policy and terms govern your transaction.
5. Your Data Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data. For privacy inquiries, please contact us at [email protected].
