Our Privacy Notice
The Bug Parc is a company providing informative and fun experiences and encounters with invertebrates in Norfolk. In line with the General Data Protection Regulation enacted from 25th May 2018, we’ve produced a Privacy Notice so that anyone who wishes to be informed about what we do with their data should find out everything they need to know on this page. If there is anything that you would like to know about how we process your personal data that you can’t see here, please get in touch.
WHAT IS OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR STORING PERSONAL INFORMATION?
The contract that we agree with our customers forms the legal basis for storing and processing their data. For those that agree to receive occasional marketing of promotional offers, the legal basis is consent.
PERSONAL DATA
The purpose of the GDPR legislation is to give individuals more control over their personal data and how it is processed. We fully endorse this principle and want to be completely transparent about the data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it and what happens to it when you no longer require our services.
VISITORS TO OUR WEBSITE
When we receive a visitor to https://www.thebugparc.com/, we use the third-party service Google Analytics to collect the standard internet log information. Google Analytics works by reading the user's IP address then setting a cookie on www.thebugparc.com/ containing a unique ID (so Google can get accurate audience figures). The IP address is then never used again. The unique ID has no personal identity information held within it.
If you object to Google Analytics collecting data, you can download a browser add-on that will prevent Google Analytics from using your data: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
