Privacy Policy

Marketing Leeds acknowledges that it has an obligation to provide the highest standards of decency, fairness, and integrity in all its operations to its customers, community and online visitors. We are committed to the principle of protecting consumer privacy on the Internet.

The information you supply through this website, by e-mail or by telephone will be used to enable us to carry out services on your behalf and to improve your browsing experience of our website.

This information will be used to enable us to proceed with (a) accommodation booking (in the future) as requested by you, (b) any other enquiries made by you, (c) user registration and site personalisation and (d) competition and offers entry. We may also use information about you or supplied by you for internal marketing purposes and may contact you (by e-mail or by post) from time to time to make you aware of forthcoming events or promotions in the Leeds area which we feel may be of interest to you. If you do not wish to receive such information, please select the appropriate option at the point at which our website collects your information or e-mail us at webmaster@marketingleeds.com to have your file marked accordingly.

Your information may be made available to hotels and other tourism businesses where this is required to enable reservations to be made on your behalf. We will not make your information available to any third parties or sell your information to third party organisations unless we ask your permission.

By disclosing personal information to us you consent to the collection, storage and processing of information in the manner described in this Policy.

Please note that if you communicate with us electronically, including by e-mail, telephone or fax, this communication may be monitored and/or recorded to protect the interests of our business and our customers.  This includes for the purposes of maintaining customer/service quality standards, detection of and/or prevention of crime and to ensure that our employees comply with legal obligations and our policies and procedures (including our customer relations practices).

WHAT DATA IS COLLECTED?

The data we collect may be personal data and may include your name, email address, telephone number, country of residence etc.

OPTING OUT

If, after a certain period of time, you decide that you no longer wish to receive newsletters, promotional and marketing emails, you are required to send an email to webmaster@marketingleeds.com stating this fact.

Please note, however, that we cannot backdate any changes that you make. This means that you could continue to receive information from a particular third party where we have already provided your details to that third party. You will therefore have to contact each such third party if you no longer wish to receive newsletters, promotional and marketing emails directly from them.
Cookies

We also extract some personal information to allow us to personalise the website content, although this personal data cannot be used to identify individual users. In this process we do not provide this information to third parties. We also do not contact you. Cookies allow us to update and improve our sites and provide a personal experience.

WHO COLLECTS THE INFORMATION?

The information is collected by Marketing Leeds, of 53 The Calls, Leeds, LS2 7EY.
