Privacy Policy

Who we are

Descape is a pre-launch website for curated, work-ready escapes for individuals, founders, remote workers, small teams and suitable property owners.

For data protection enquiries, contact data@descape.co.uk. For privacy policy questions, contact privacy@descape.co.uk.

What personal information we collect

When you register interest or contact us, we may collect:

• your name;
• your email address;
• whether you are interested as a guest, property owner or another type of user;
• any message or property information you choose to send;
• technical information such as your IP address, browser type and device information where this is processed by our website host or form provider.

How we use your information

We use personal information to:

• respond to your enquiry;
• record early interest in Descape;
• contact you about the launch, suitable properties or owner opportunities where relevant;
• understand which types of users and property owners are interested in the service;
• protect the website from spam, misuse and security issues;
• comply with legal obligations.

Our lawful basis

Depending on how you use the site, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases under UK data protection law:

• Consent — where you ask to receive launch updates or agree to optional cookies.
• Legitimate interests — to respond to enquiries, understand early demand, maintain the website and prevent spam or misuse.
• Contract or steps before a contract — where you ask us to assess a property or discuss a potential commercial relationship.
• Legal obligation — where we must keep or disclose information to comply with the law.

Formspree and hosting

The website is intended to be hosted on Cloudflare Pages and to use Formspree for enquiry form handling. When you submit a form, your information may be processed by Formspree so that your enquiry can be delivered to us. Cloudflare may process technical data needed to deliver and secure the website.

Cookies and analytics

We use necessary cookies to store your cookie preference and to make the website work. Optional analytics or marketing cookies should only be loaded after you have given consent. See our Cookie Policy for more information.

Who we share information with

We may share your information with service providers that help us run the website and manage enquiries, including website hosting, form processing, email, security, analytics and professional advisers. We do not sell your personal information.

International transfers

Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where this happens, we expect appropriate safeguards to be used, such as adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses where required.

How long we keep your information

We keep enquiry and registration information only for as long as it is useful for the pre-launch Descape project, responding to your enquiry, assessing the market, or complying with legal obligations. As a starting point, we aim to review pre-launch interest records at least every 24 months.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to our use of your personal information, and to withdraw consent where we rely on consent.

To exercise your rights, contact data@descape.co.uk.

Complaints

You can contact us first at privacy@descape.co.uk. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office if you are unhappy with how your personal information is handled.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as Descape develops, especially if we add bookings, payments, affiliate tracking, analytics, advertising or property-owner accounts.
