We collect information about you that you provide to us when using our website, such as your name, address, phone number, credit card details, e-mail address, accommodation name, accommodation location and/or length of stay, and where applicable your Ceylon Haven account password for accommodation reservations. You may decide for yourself to submit further information to enable the submission of special requests to your chosen accommodation provider.

Where you are making a booking with other guests whose details you provide to us as part of your reservation, or if you make a booking on behalf of someone else, it is your responsibility to ensure that the person or people you have provided personal information about are aware that you have done so, and have understood and accepted how Ceylon Haven uses their information.

You will continue to receive them, even if you have opted out of our marketing messages.
Ceylon Haven offer you and our accommodation partners various means to communicate about accommodations and existing reservations, directing the communications through the www.ceylonhaven.com and direct email messaging. You can contact us with questions about your reservation or about your accommodation via our website, and via other channels that we may make available.
