Privacy Policy

The Blue Boar Inn (“we”, “us”, “our”), 31 Station Road, Great Ryburgh, Fakenham, Norfolk NR21 0DX, is the data controller responsible for your personal information. This policy explains what we collect, why, and how we look after it, in line with UK data protection law.

When you make a booking or dining enquiry, or send us a message, we collect the details you provide — typically your name, email address, telephone number, dates and party size, and any notes or special requests you choose to share.

We do not collect payment card details through this website; any payment is arranged directly with us.

We use your information solely to respond to your enquiry, confirm and manage your booking, provide the services you have requested, and contact you about your stay or reservation. We may also use it to keep our own records and to comply with our legal obligations.

We do not send marketing emails or newsletters unless you have specifically asked us to, and we will never sell or rent your information to anyone.

We only share your information where necessary to run the inn — for example with trusted service providers who help us operate our website and send booking confirmation emails on our behalf. We require them to keep your information secure and to use it only for the purposes we specify.

We keep your information only for as long as necessary to manage your booking and for a reasonable period afterwards to meet our record-keeping and legal obligations, after which it is securely deleted.

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. We use only strictly necessary cookies — the ones required to keep the site working securely, such as remembering that you are signed in to your account. These essential cookies do not require your consent under UK law.

We do not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies, and we do not share cookie data with third parties for marketing. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies using the banner shown on your first visit, and you can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

You have the right to ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to correct it if it is inaccurate, or to ask us to delete it where we are no longer required to keep it. To make a request, please contact us using the details below.

If you have any questions about how we handle your information, please email [email protected] or call 01328 316141.
