Who We Are
Park Ups and Pub Stops is an independent website and community run by Jo & Tim, also known as the Travelling Taffs. We help the motorhome and campervan community discover verified places to stop, local businesses and Community Partners.
For the purposes of UK data protection law, Park Ups and Pub Stops is responsible for the personal information collected through this website.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we use your personal information, you can contact us through the Contact page on this website.
What Information We Collect
We only collect information that is relevant to the way you use our website or contact us. This may include:
- Your name and email address
- Information you send through our Contact Us form
- Details submitted through our Submit a Stop for Verification form
- Business information submitted through our Community Partner Application form
- Photographs or other images you choose to upload
- Location information such as What3Words or GPS coordinates where relevant
- Any other information you choose to provide to us
We may also collect limited technical information automatically when you use the website, such as your IP address, browser type and information needed for website security and spam protection.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide to us to:
- Respond to enquiries and messages
- Review and verify submitted stops before deciding whether they are suitable to publish
- Create and maintain Community Partner profiles
- Contact you if we need more information about a submission or application
- Keep our website and community information accurate and up to date
- Help protect the website from spam, misuse or security issues
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Where we need to use your information to provide a service you have asked for, respond to an enquiry, manage a Community Partner relationship, or operate and protect the website, we will only use the information for those relevant purposes.
Information We Publish
When a submitted stop is approved, we may publish relevant location details such as the venue or stop name, location, facilities, parking information, photographs and other useful information for the motorhome and campervan community. We do not publish the submitter’s personal contact details.
For Community Partners, information supplied for the purpose of creating a public profile may be published on the website once the profile has been agreed with the business. Personal contact details will only be displayed where they are intended for public business use or you have asked us to include them.
Our Legal Basis for Using Your Information
Under UK data protection law, we need a lawful reason for using personal information. Depending on why you contact us or provide information, we may rely on one or more of the following:
- Legitimate interests — for example, to respond to enquiries, manage submissions, verify locations and operate the Park Ups and Pub Stops website and community.
- Contract — where the information is needed in connection with a Community Partner application or relationship.
- Legal obligation — where we are required to keep or use information to comply with the law.
- Consent — where we specifically ask for it, for example for optional marketing communications or certain uses of information.
We only use personal information where we have a valid reason to do so.
Who We Share Information With
We may use trusted service providers to help us run the website and process information submitted through it. These may include website hosting, email delivery, form processing, security and other technical services.
We only share personal information where it is necessary for these services to operate, where you have asked us to do so, or where we are legally required to disclose it.
We do not sell or rent your personal information to other organisations.
International Data Transfers
Some of the service providers we use to operate our website, email and forms may process or store information outside the UK. Where this happens, we will use services that provide appropriate safeguards for personal information in accordance with UK data protection law.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We keep personal information only for as long as we reasonably need it for the purpose it was collected, including responding to enquiries, reviewing submissions, managing Community Partner relationships, keeping appropriate records and meeting any legal or accounting obligations.
Where information is no longer needed, we will delete it or securely dispose of it where reasonably possible.
Some information may need to be kept for longer where there is a legal, financial or administrative reason to do so.

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:
- Ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you

- Ask us to delete your personal information where appropriate
- Ask us to restrict how we use your information
