At Haven Waters we take our obligation to the environment seriously. Some of our strategies to minimise our impact on the environment are:

• We provide separate waste bins for recyclable materials;
• Guests are encouraged to hang and reuse towelling;
• All showers are fitted with water saving heads;
• The majority of our lights are compact fluorescents or LEDs;
• We use bore water to maintain the grounds.

Any personal information that we collect about our customers, including e-mail addresses, will be kept in our database. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we hold is protected against misuse, disclosure and unauthorised access, including restricting access of personal information only to employees who require it in order to fulfil our obligations to you.

We will not disclose any personal information to third parties outside our company, without your written authority (except to the individual to whom the personal information relates) unless we are required by law or it is otherwise necessary.
