1. About this policy
SkiChaletForSale.com is a property introduction and lead-generation website for people considering ski chalets, apartments and other alpine homes. This policy explains what personal information we may collect when you browse the website, use the property search or submit an enquiry. It also explains the choices and rights available to you.
2. Information you choose to provide
When you use an enquiry form or speak with us, you may provide your name, property preferences, preferred destinations, approximate budget, intended use, timing and any other details you decide to share. Please do not send passports, bank details, payment card information or other sensitive documents through a general website form.
3. Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, approximate location, pages viewed, referring page and the date and time of a visit. This information helps us keep the website secure, understand broad usage patterns and improve the clarity of our property content.
4. How we use information
We use enquiry information to respond to your request, understand the type of alpine property you are looking for, arrange an introduction where appropriate and provide information about relevant services. We may use technical information to maintain the website, diagnose faults, measure performance, prevent misuse and improve the search experience. We do not use your information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
5. Legal bases for processing
Where UK GDPR or another data-protection law applies, we rely on the legal basis that fits the activity. This may include your consent when you choose to submit an enquiry, our legitimate interests in responding to property requests and operating a secure website, taking steps at your request before a service is provided, and compliance with a legal obligation. You can withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing.
6. Property professionals and service providers
SkiChaletForSale.com may work with local agents, developers, property managers, legal professionals, surveyors, tax advisers and other trusted specialists. We only share enquiry details when there is a reasonable need to progress your request, when you have asked us to make an introduction or where the law permits it. Service providers supporting hosting, security, analytics or website operation may process limited information under appropriate instructions. Our enquiry form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to distinguish legitimate visitors from automated abuse; Cloudflare may process limited device, network and interaction data for this security purpose under its Turnstile Privacy Addendum. We do not sell personal data.
7. International transfers
Alpine property enquiries may concern France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, the United States or Canada. If information needs to be shared with a professional outside the UK, we take reasonable steps to use a lawful transfer mechanism and to share only the information needed for the introduction or service.
8. How long we keep information
We keep enquiry records for as long as there is a clear business, operational or legal reason to do so. The period depends on the nature of the request, whether an introduction is ongoing and whether we need to maintain a record of our communications. Technical logs and cookie-related data may be kept for shorter periods. We periodically review information and securely delete or anonymise it when it is no longer needed.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect information from accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure. No website or transmission over the internet can be guaranteed completely secure, so please avoid sending confidential financial or identity documents through ordinary enquiry forms.
10. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to ask for a copy of your personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing, or transfer of information in a usable format. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office or another relevant supervisory authority. To exercise a right, please use our Contact Us page and describe the request clearly. We may need to verify your identity before acting.
11. Children and third-party websites
This website is intended for adults considering property matters and is not directed at children. Our pages may link to external property, professional or public-register websites. We do not control those websites and their own privacy policies will apply when you leave SkiChaletForSale.com.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the website, services or applicable requirements change. The date at the bottom of this page shows when the current version was published. We encourage you to review this page periodically if you continue to use the website.
13. Contact
If you have a question about this policy or want to exercise a data-protection right, please use the enquiry form on our Contact Us page. SkiChaletForSale.com is associated with the company registered in England and Wales under number 4864440.
