Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
At Rekindled Hearth, we believe in doing things with care, attention and respect — and that includes how we look after your personal information.
This privacy policy explains what information we collect when you visit this website, contact us, or book onto one of our camps and courses, and what we do with it.
We keep things as simple as we can, but if you have any questions about how your information is used, please get in touch.
Who we are
Rekindled Hearth is run by Jessie Watson Brown, a traditional hide tanner, ancestral crafter and ceremonial space holder based in Dartmoor.
For the purposes of data protection law, Jessie Watson Brown is the data controller responsible for the personal information collected through this website and in connection with our camps and courses.
You can contact us about privacy or your personal information at:

What information we collect
We only collect information that we need in order to communicate with you, manage bookings and run our website and courses.
When you contact us
If you use the contact form on our website, we may collect information such as:
your name
your email address
anything else you choose to include in your message.
We use this information to respond to your enquiry and to communicate with you about your enquiry.
When you book a camp or course
Bookings for our camps and courses are handled through Dandelion Events.
When you make a booking, Dandelion may collect information such as your name, email address, booking details and any other information you choose to provide as part of the booking process.
We may receive and use the information we need to organise and run your booking, communicate important information about the event, and keep appropriate records.
Dandelion is a separate platform operated by Symbiota Ltd. You can read their own privacy policy on the Dandelion website.
Payment card details are handled by the relevant payment provider rather than being stored by Rekindled Hearth. Dandelion explains further information about its booking, payment and data practices in its privacy policy.
Newsletter
If you choose to sign up for Rekindled News & Updates, we will use the email address you provide to send you occasional information about upcoming courses, camps and other news from Rekindled Hearth.
You can unsubscribe from these emails at any time.
Why we use your information
We use personal information for the following purposes:
to respond to enquiries;
to manage and communicate with you about bookings;
to provide information about camps, courses and other activities you have asked about;
to send our newsletter where you have chosen to receive it;
to keep appropriate business and financial records;
to maintain and improve our website;
to protect the security of our website and services; and
where necessary, to comply with our legal obligations.
We will not sell your personal information or use it for purposes unrelated to the running of Rekindled Hearth without telling you.
Our lawful basis for using your information
Under UK data protection law, we need a lawful basis for processing personal information.
Depending on what we are doing, we may rely on:
Contract — where we need your information to arrange or provide something you have booked with us.
Legitimate interests — where we have a genuine and reasonable need to use information to run and develop Rekindled Hearth, respond to enquiries, keep appropriate records or communicate with existing customers, provided this does not unfairly override your rights.
Consent — where you have actively chosen to receive something from us, such as our newsletter, or where consent is required for certain cookies or similar technologies.
Legal obligation — where we need to keep or provide information because the law requires us to.
Who we share your information with
We don't sell your personal information.
We may share relevant information with trusted services that help us run Rekindled Hearth, including:
Squarespace, which hosts and provides the tools for this website;
Dandelion Events, which provides our booking and ticketing platform;
payment providers used through Dandelion when you make a booking;
our email/newsletter provider, where applicable; and
professional advisers or authorities where we are legally required to provide information.
These organisations may process information on our behalf or, depending on the service and circumstances, act as independent controllers of your information.
Dandelion's own privacy policy explains how information is processed on its platform, including information relating to bookings, payments, service providers and international transfers.
How long we keep your information
We don't keep personal information forever.
We keep information only for as long as we reasonably need it for the purpose for which it was collected, or for as long as we are required to keep it for legal, accounting or other legitimate business reasons.
For example, we may keep correspondence with you for as long as necessary to deal with your enquiry and any related matters. Booking and financial records may need to be kept for longer to meet legal and accounting requirements.
Where information is no longer needed, we will securely delete it or anonymise it where appropriate.
Keeping your information safe
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure.
No method of sending or storing information online can ever be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we take the security of your information seriously and use reputable services to help us manage it.
