Privacy Policy

Updated 21 October 2026. This privacy notice explains the processing of personal data in connection with this travel website and enquiries sent to it.

Controller and contact

Controller: https://bestinlapland.com/
Privacy enquiries: info@bestinlapland.com

Information processed and its purposes

When you send an email or another message, the information includes the contact details and content you provide, together with message metadata. It is used to respond to your enquiry, handle feedback and resolve the matter you have raised. Providing this information is voluntary; without a reply address it may not be possible to respond.

Website delivery and security involve technical data such as IP addresses, request times, requested pages, browser information and error or security events. Search terms entered in the website search may appear in request logs. Please avoid entering confidential information in a search or sending unnecessary sensitive information by email.

Legal bases

Handling ordinary enquiries and maintaining a functioning, secure website are based on legitimate interests: responding to messages, preventing misuse and investigating faults. Where an enquiry concerns entering into a contract, the relevant processing may instead be necessary for pre-contractual steps. Optional email marketing or non-essential cookie-based tracking requires consent where applicable. Consent can be withdrawn without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.

Cookies and external services

The website uses WordPress and LiteSpeed Cache. Hosting is provided by Hostinger. A Hostinger Reach script is loaded from an external Hostinger domain; requesting that resource exposes technical connection information such as an IP address to that provider. Reach is an email marketing and form service. If a subscription form is offered, the purpose and consent request must be shown with the form. Further information is available in the Hostinger privacy policy.

Necessary login or security cookies may be used when a related function is accessed. You can manage cookies in your browser; blocking necessary cookies can affect those functions. An installed plugin does not by itself mean that all of its analytics or marketing features are active. If you follow an external link or activate an embedded service, the provider processes data according to its own notice.

Recipients and international processing

Hosting, email, security and maintenance providers may process information as necessary to operate the website and handle enquiries. Authorities may receive information when disclosure is legally required. External providers may process information outside the EU/EEA. Applicable transfer arrangements, recipient locations and safeguards depend on the service and are described in provider privacy notices and processing terms; you can request further information using the contact address above.

Retention

Retention is determined by purpose rather than a single period for every category. Enquiries are retained while needed to resolve the matter and any related follow-up or legal claims. Technical logs and backups follow the relevant hosting or security service retention settings and operational recovery needs. If a newsletter is offered, subscription information is retained for the subscription and as needed to record consent or an opt-out. You may request details about the retention applicable to your information.

Your rights

Subject to the conditions in data protection law, you may request access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability of your personal data and object to processing based on legitimate interests. You may object to direct marketing at any time and withdraw consent for processing based on consent. Send requests to the privacy contact above. Identification may be requested only as necessary to handle a request securely.

Requests are normally answered within one month; any permitted extension and its reason will be communicated. You may also complain to a competent supervisory authority, including the authority in your country of residence or work. EU authority contact details are listed by the European Data Protection Board.
