Online Advertisements

Telephone numbers and email addresses supplied as part of an advertisement will be published within the relevant advertisement for the duration of the booking, to enable a potential buyer to contact the seller. The postcode is collected in order to provide a positioning on each item within our database, thereby enabling potential buyers to locate items for sale within a set radius of their chosen location.

Searches

Postcodes and item information is collected in order to provide a relevant match of items against a specified search. The inclusion of the postcode enables us to provide the potential buyer with a range of items within a chosen locality, rather than items randomly spread throughout the country.

Registration

Email addresses are collected in order to send registrants a password, providing them with online access to their registration details (available within the My account section on the website). The user can access this information at any time in order to update their details or change the option on whether they would like to receive communication from BrowseCaravans.com or selected third parties.

Other registration information is collected in order:

1. 1. To generate an overall audience profile of visitors using the BrowseCaravans.com web site.
