Last updated: (23.01.2026)

Lister’s Caravan Hire (“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share personal data when you enquire, book a holiday caravan, or use our website.

We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Who We Are

Lister’s Caravan Hire acts as a booking and letting agent for privately owned holiday caravans located at Parkdean Resorts holiday parks.

We do not own or operate the holiday parks. Parkdean Resorts is a separate data controller and is responsible for its own processing of personal data under its own privacy policy.

2. Information We Collect

When you make an enquiry or booking with us, we may collect the following personal information:

  • Lead guest name and contact details (email and telephone number)

  • Booking and accommodation details

  • Names and ages (not dates of birth) of all guests staying in the caravan

  • Pet details (where applicable)

  • Vehicle registration details (where required)


Names and ages of guests are collected for the purposes of:

  • Booking administration

  • Confirming occupancy limits

  • Compliance with park requirements

  • Preventing bookings being made on behalf of individuals who are not permitted to stay

We do not routinely collect dates of birth unless legally required.

3. Proof of Identity

In some circumstances, we may request proof of name and address from the lead guest, and in certain cases from other guests aged 18 or over.

Proof of identity may be requested:

  • Prior to arrival

  • On arrival at the park or caravan

  • Or during the stay

Identification checks may be carried out by:

  • Parkdean Resorts staff

  • Park security

  • The caravan owner

  • Lister’s Caravan Hire acting as agent

Guests may be asked to provide identification more than once, depending on park procedures and security requirements.

Any identification requested is used solely for verification, security, fraud prevention, and compliance purposes.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

  • Process and manage enquiries and bookings

  • Communicate with guests regarding their stay

  • Comply with legal and park requirements

  • Prevent fraud or misuse of bookings

We do not use personal information for unsolicited marketing.

5. Communication & Marketing

We will only contact guests:

  • In relation to an enquiry or confirmed booking

  • To provide essential information about a stay

  • Where a guest has specifically asked us to keep them informed about availability, cancellations, or offers

We do not sell, trade, or share personal information for marketing purposes.

Where guest information is shared with Parkdean Resorts for registration or access purposes, Parkdean Resorts acts as a separate data controller, and its use of personal data is governed by its own privacy policy.

6. Sharing Your Information

We may share limited personal information where necessary with:

  • The caravan owner (for booking administration and property management)

  • Parkdean Resorts (for guest registration, park access, and site compliance)

  • Professional advisers or authorities where legally required

Any sharing is carried out lawfully, proportionately, and only where necessary.

7. Lawful Basis for Processing

We process personal data under the following lawful bases:

  • Contractual necessity – to administer bookings and accommodation

  • Legitimate interests – to manage bookings, prevent fraud, and protect property

  • Legal obligation – where required by law or park operators

8. Data Retention

Personal data relating to bookings is retained for up to 5 years to meet legal, accounting, and business requirements.

Where data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

9. Your Rights Under Data Protection Law

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you (Subject Access Request)

  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data

  • Request deletion of your personal data where we no longer have a lawful reason to retain it

  • Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances

  • Object to processing where it is based on legitimate interests

Please note:

  • Some personal data cannot be deleted immediately where we are legally required to retain it (for example, booking, payment, or accounting records).

  • Where deletion is not possible, data may be restricted or anonymised instead.

We aim to respond to all data protection requests within one calendar month, in line with legal requirements.


Identity Verification for Data Requests

To protect your personal information, we may need to verify your identity before responding to a data protection request.

This may include:

  • Answering security questions relating to your booking, and/or
