We aim to use personal information only where it is necessary, proportionate and lawful.

For the purposes of UK data protection law, Tent & Tribe is responsible for the personal information described in this policy where we determine how and why that information is used.

What personal information we collect
The information we collect depends on how you use the website.
Information you provide to us
If you contact Tent & Tribe, we may receive information including:
- your name
- your email address
- the contents of your message
- any other information you choose to provide
This may happen when you send:
- a general enquiry
- feedback about the website
- a correction or article suggestion
- a campsite or destination suggestion
- a commercial, media or partnership enquiry
Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary for your enquiry.
Technical information
When you visit Tent & Tribe, our website infrastructure and service providers may process technical information such as:
- IP address
- browser type
- device type
- operating system
- date and time of access
- requested pages
- referring website
- security and diagnostic information
Some technical information is necessary to deliver, secure and maintain the website.
How we use personal information
We use personal information for specific purposes.
Responding to enquiries
We may use your name, email address and message to:
- respond to you
- deal with questions or feedback
- investigate corrections
- consider campsite, partnership or media enquiries
Our lawful basis will normally be legitimate interests, because it is reasonable for us to use the information you provide in order to respond to your enquiry.
Where an enquiry relates to taking steps before entering into a contract or carrying out an agreement, the lawful basis may instead be contract.
Operating and securing the website
Technical information may be used to:
- deliver website pages
- maintain website availability
- diagnose technical problems
- prevent spam or malicious activity
- protect the security of the website
Our lawful basis is generally legitimate interests, namely our interest in operating a secure and reliable website.
Meeting legal obligations
We may process or retain information where necessary to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, accounting or tax requirements.
The lawful basis for this processing is legal obligation where applicable.
Cookies and similar technologies
Tent & Tribe may use cookies and other storage or access technologies.
These can include technologies used for:
- essential website operation
- security
- remembering user preferences
- analytics
- affiliate attribution
- advertising or other functionality if introduced later
Under UK rules, non-essential storage or access technologies generally require appropriate consent before they are used, subject to applicable exemptions. The ICO also applies these rules to technologies beyond ordinary cookies, including tracking pixels, web storage, scripts and similar technologies.
For details of the technologies actually in use, please see our Cookie Policy.
Cookie consent
Where consent is required, we aim to ensure that non-essential cookies or similar technologies are not activated until the user has made an appropriate choice.
Consent should be given through a clear positive action rather than assumed merely because somebody continues to browse the website.
Users should also be able to change or withdraw their consent choices where required.
Analytics
Tent & Tribe may use analytics services to understand how visitors use the website.
If analytics is enabled, information may include:
- pages visited
- session information
- device and browser type
- approximate geographic information
- referring source
- interaction with website content
Where analytics technologies require consent, they will only be activated after appropriate consent has been obtained.
This policy should be updated to identify the specific analytics provider once one is implemented.
Affiliate links
Tent & Tribe may use affiliate links.
When you follow an affiliate link, the relevant retailer, affiliate network or service provider may process information for purposes such as:
- recognising that a referral came from Tent & Tribe
- tracking qualifying purchases or bookings
- calculating commission
Those third parties process information under their own privacy and cookie policies.
Tent & Tribe does not control how a third-party website processes your information after you leave our website.
Please see our Affiliate Disclosure for more information about commercial links.
External websites
Tent & Tribe may link to:
- retailers
- campsites
- tourism websites
- manufacturers
- affiliate partners
- other third-party websites
We are not responsible for the privacy practices or security of third-party websites.
You should review their privacy information separately.
Who we share information with
We may use third-party service providers to help operate Tent & Tribe.
Depending on the services in use, these may include providers responsible for:

Where a provider processes personal information on our behalf, we aim to use appropriate contractual and organisational arrangements.
We may also disclose information where required by law or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
We do not sell personal information to advertisers.
Our hosting provider
Tent & Tribe is currently hosted using a third-party web-hosting provider.
The hosting provider may process technical information such as IP addresses, server logs and security information in order to operate and protect the website.
This section should be updated to name the provider if we decide that doing so provides clearer transparency.
International transfers
Some service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.
Where UK data protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we aim to rely on an appropriate legal mechanism, such as:
- UK adequacy regulations
- recognised contractual safeguards
- another lawful transfer mechanism
The exact transfer arrangements depend on the service providers in use.
Where material international transfers occur, this policy should be updated to identify the relevant providers and safeguards more specifically.
How long we keep information
We do not keep personal information indefinitely.
Retention depends on the type of information and why it was collected.
General correspondence
General enquiries may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to:
- respond to the enquiry
- maintain an appropriate record of the conversation
- deal with follow-up questions
- resolve disputes
Commercial or partnership correspondence
Business correspondence may be retained for longer where necessary for:
- contractual matters
- accounting

Technical and security information
Server logs, security records and similar technical information may be retained for periods determined by our hosting, security and technical providers.
We aim to keep information only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose, taking into account legal, operational and security requirements.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information.
These may include:
- HTTPS encryption
- access controls
- security monitoring
- backups
- security tools supplied by our hosting environment
However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your right to object
Where we rely on legitimate interests, you may have the right to object to our processing of your personal information.
We will consider any objection in accordance with applicable data protection law.
Automated decision-making
Tent & Tribe does not currently use personal information to make decisions about individuals solely through automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
If this changes, this Privacy Policy will be updated.
Children’s privacy
Tent & Tribe is intended primarily for parents and adults interested in family camping.
We do not intentionally seek to collect personal information directly from young children.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to Tent & Tribe, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
Complaints
If you have concerns about the way Tent & Tribe uses personal information, please contact us first so that we can investigate.
You also have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator.

- the website changes
- we introduce new services
- we begin using new providers
- our use of personal information changes
