Who we are
Our website address is: http://sunnierclimbs.com also known as Sunnier Climbs. We are a small adventure climbing and mountaineering holiday business run by two friends who love escaping the British Winters. We hope our privacy policy is clear and concise.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We collect and store various details for our records when we go away, so we can gain access to them in the event of an emergency. We collect this through both the payment process (but we do not store your card details), booking forms and contact forms. We do not sell any of that information onto other companies, however you may hear from Paul Poole Mountainering and Snowdonia Mountain Guides which are also run by the Sunnier Climbs Team. This is done through our newsletter, which you opt in for when making an enquiries or sending a booking form.
In accordance with GDPR law all our mailing lists have an unsubscribe button which your can use at anytime to stop the emails. However we hope that don’t find our marketing emails overly tiresome as we try not to send more than one a month at maximum and as we have previously said we also will market courses that the Sunnier Climb team provide in the UK through Paul Poole Mountaineering and Snowdonia Mountain Guides.

Additional information
How we protect your data
We keep data stored in databases or files stored in the cloud which are password protected in a way we feel is appropriate for the types of data we collect.
What data breach procedures we have in place
We are a small company and acknowledge that a data breach of any kind is not a pleasant experience. As such we try to only capture the most essential of data for our working needs, we do not collect payment card details, accept at the very point of sale, after which the details are forgotten. As such we hope that this limits the damage in the event of a data breach, but we will also try to inform you should your data be misappropriated in anyway and we are aware of it.
