Privacy Policy
Last updated July 15, 2026
This policy explains how The Three Fishes handles information when you use thethreefishes.com or contact us. We aim to collect as little personal data as we can.
Who we are
The Three Fishes is a Lancashire travel and review website. For privacy questions, email webmaster@thethreefishes.com.
Information we may receive
Information you send. If you email us, we receive your email address, name if shown, message, and any information you choose to include.
Basic technical records. Our hosting provider may process an IP address, browser type, requested page, date, time, referring page, and security events in ordinary server logs. These records help deliver and protect the site.
Link activity. A third-party hotel, ticket, map, or affiliate site may learn that you came from The Three Fishes after you follow a link. Its own privacy policy applies once you leave this site.
How we use information
- Answer messages and correction requests.
- Run, secure, and fix the website.
- Measure broad page use if privacy-respecting analytics are added.
- Meet legal duties and prevent fraud or misuse.
Legal bases
Where UK data law applies, we process email messages to respond to your request and under our legitimate interest in running the site. We process security logs under our legitimate interest in keeping the site safe. We will seek consent before using non-essential cookies or similar tracking when consent is required.
Cookies and similar technology
The launch version of this site does not set advertising or analytics cookies. Essential technology used by the host may support security and delivery. If we add non-essential analytics, ad, or affiliate tracking, we will update this policy and provide a clear choice before it runs where required. Browser settings can also block or delete cookies.
Affiliate links
Some links may be affiliate links. A merchant or affiliate network may use a link code or cookie to record a referral and a later purchase. This lets the merchant calculate a commission. We will place a clear affiliate notice near relevant content. You can avoid affiliate tracking by not following those links and visiting the merchant directly.
Sharing
We may share limited information with service providers that host, secure, maintain, or measure the site; with professional advisers when needed; or with public bodies when the law requires it. We do not sell personal information for money.
International transfers
Service providers may process data outside your country. Where required, we will use a lawful transfer safeguard or another valid transfer basis.
How long we keep data
We normally keep ordinary email messages for up to 12 months after the matter is closed. Hosting and security logs are normally kept for a short period set by the provider, unless a longer period is needed to investigate abuse, keep the site safe, or meet a legal duty.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or a portable copy of personal data. You may also withdraw consent where consent is the basis used. Email us to make a request. We may need to confirm your identity.
UK users may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. Users elsewhere may contact their local privacy regulator.
Children
This site is written for travel planning by adults. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13.
Security
No website can promise perfect security. We use reasonable steps suited to the limited data we hold and review access when the site changes.
Changes
We may update this policy when the site, law, or service providers change. The date at the top shows the latest version.
