Privacy Choices at Orava’s Nest

Your time at Orava’s Nest is designed to feel sheltered and unobserved, surrounded by forest and sky. We believe your personal data deserves the same quiet protection. This page explains, in plain language, how we use your information and the choices you have.

This overview sits alongside our full Privacy Policy, which contains more detailed legal information. If anything here feels unclear, you can always contact us and ask.

What information we collect

When you explore our website, we collect basic technical information such as your IP address, the pages you visit, the device and browser you use, and the country you connect from. This helps us understand how people find Orava’s Nest and whether the site works well for them.

If you join our email list, send an enquiry, or make a booking through us or a booking partner, we collect the details you choose to share, such as your name, contact information, preferred travel dates, and any notes you add about your stay.

We use this information only to run and improve Orava’s Nest, communicate with you, and meet our legal obligations as accommodation hosts in Finland.

Cookies and analytics

Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site secure and to understand how it is used. Some cookies are essential for basic functions, such as loading pages or remembering your preferences. These cannot be switched off in our systems, but you can block them in your browser if you wish.

We may also use privacy-conscious analytics tools to see general patterns, such as which pages are most visited and which countries visitors come from. We do not use this to identify you as an individual, and we do not sell or share analytics data with third parties for their own marketing.

You can manage or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, block cookies from specific sites, or clear cookies when you close the browser. You can also use private or incognito modes if you prefer to leave fewer traces.

If we use additional, non-essential cookies (for example, for more detailed analytics), we will ask for your consent when you first visit the site, and you can adjust those choices through the cookie banner or settings link when available.

Marketing communications

From time to time, we may send calm, occasional updates about Orava’s Nest, such as seasonal opening dates, new experiences, or quiet last-minute availability. We aim to keep these messages rare and relevant.

You are always in control. If you no longer wish to receive emails, you can unsubscribe at any time by using the link at the bottom of any message from us, or by writing to us directly and asking to be removed from the list.

Accessing or deleting your data

Under European data protection laws (including the GDPR), you have the right to know what personal data we hold about you, to correct it if it is inaccurate, and, in many cases, to ask for it to be deleted.

If you would like a copy of your data, or would like us to delete or restrict the use of your information, please contact us with your request. We may ask for a small amount of additional information to confirm your identity before we act, to make sure we are protecting your privacy.

There may be times when we need to keep certain records for legal, tax, or safety reasons, even if you ask us to delete them. When that happens, we will explain what we can and cannot remove, and why.

How to contact us about privacy

If you have any questions about your privacy choices, or how we handle your personal data, you can reach us by email at oravasnest@web.de. We will respond as thoughtfully and promptly as we can.
