We’ll also monitor your browsing activity with us to quickly identify and resolve any problems and protect the integrity of our websites. We’ll do all of this as part of our legitimate interest.

For example, by checking your password when you login and using automated monitoring of IP addresses to identify possible fraudulent logins from unexpected locations.

For example, updates to this Privacy Notice, and legally required information relating to your bookings. These service messages will not include any promotional content and do not require prior consent when sent by email or text message. If we do not use your personal data for these purposes, we would be unable to comply with our legal obligations.

 For example, by combining this data, this will help us personalise your experience and decide which inspiration or content to share with you. We also use anonymised data from customer booking histories to identify trends in different areas of the country. This may then guide which types of news and offers we send to different locations. 

  • • Help inform business decisions for example which 3rd Party websites we partner with to ensure our advertising reaches our customers.
  1. 7. Combining your data for personalised Advertising

We want to bring you news and offers that are most relevant to your interests at particular times. To help us form a better, overall understanding of you as a customer, we may, where relevant, combine your personal data gathered across Harrison Leisure UK LTD as described above, for example your booking history at Harrison Leisure UK Holiday Parks. For this purpose, we may also combine the data that we collect directly from you with data that we obtain from third parties to whom you have given your consent to pass that data onto us.

We may also use something called “Meta custom audiences” to deliver advertisements to our website customers, based on email addresses that we collect from you. The tool enables us to convert your email address into a unique number that Meta can then match with the numbers generated from its own customers email addresses. You may learn more about Meta custom audiences by visiting: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/341425252616329?id=2469097953376494

We use something called “Lookalike Audiences” this tool enables us to create a lookalike audience of customers with similar demographics. Meta finds users who have similar attributes to our customer base.

We use Google Customer Match Lists to deliver relevant ads to you on the Googe Network, the tool works in a similar way mentioned above but is only relative with Google and Google Partners. You can read more about Google Match Lists and how they work here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6379332?hl=en-GB

Our customers would need receive marketing as a result of this activity.
