Date Night Away Ltd (“Date Night Away”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect your personal information when you visit datenightaway.co.uk, contact us, subscribe to our emails, enter a competition or otherwise interact with Date Night Away.
1. Who We Are
Date Night Away Ltd is the data controller responsible for personal information collected directly through the Date Night Away website and our services.
You can contact us regarding this Privacy Policy or your personal data at:
2. Our Website & Third-Party Bookings
Date Night Away is a travel and experience discovery website.
We research and recommend hotels, accommodation, experiences, activities and deals from third-party booking providers.
We do not take hotel or experience bookings or payments directly through Date Night Away.
When you click through to one of our booking partners and make a booking, the personal and payment information you provide is collected by that third party rather than Date Night Away.
The booking provider will have its own Privacy Policy explaining how it collects and processes your information, which we recommend reading before completing a booking.

5. Affiliate Links & Tracking
Some of the links on Date Night Away are affiliate links.
When you click an affiliate link, our booking partner or affiliate network may use cookies, tracking links or similar technologies to recognise that you were referred by Date Night Away.
This allows the relevant provider or affiliate network to attribute a booking or purchase to us and, where applicable, pay Date Night Away a commission.
Date Night Away does not receive your full payment card details from the booking provider simply because you use one of our affiliate links.
The relevant booking provider and affiliate network may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Please see our Cookie Policy for more information about cookies and similar technologies used in connection with affiliate links.
