We only show your photos as examples of our work with your permission, and you can ask us to remove them at any time.
For guests under 18, we need permission from a parent or guardian.
External services and sharing
We use your information only with the following services:

We do not sell your information or provide it to any other third party.
Cookies
This website does not use cookies for analytics or advertising.
The only setting we keep in your browser is your language. When you switch language, we also keep a temporary copy of your place on the page and anything you have typed into a form, so that nothing is lost; it is deleted as soon as the page opens in the new language.
Retention and security
We delete your information within 3 years after we have finished handling your enquiry or booking.
Only the people who need your information to handle your enquiry or booking can see it, and we keep it in password-protected services.
Your rights
You can ask us to show you the information we hold about you, and to correct it, delete it or stop using it.
Please send your request to the contact address below. We will respond without delay. You can send complaints to the same address.
If you live in the EU or the UK
We use your information to reply to your enquiry and to arrange your session, which means taking steps before entering into a contract and performing it. Any other use is based on our legitimate interests.
In addition to the rights above, you have the right to receive your information in a portable format (data portability) and the right to object to how we use it.
You can also make a complaint to the data protection supervisory authority in your country.
