Privacy & Cookies

Who we are

Gig Cottage, Adenta-Dodowa Road, Malejor, Accra, Ghana. This policy covers gigcottage.net and the enquiries sent through it. We are responsible for the information described here.

What we collect

Only what you type into an enquiry and send us: your name, a phone or WhatsApp number, an email address if you give one, the dates you are asking about, roughly how many guests you expect, what the event is, and anything else you choose to write.

If you accept analytics in the cookie notice, Google Analytics also records how the site is used. That means which pages are opened, how far down they are read, and which buttons are pressed, such as Call or WhatsApp. It shows us the town and the kind of device a visit came from. It does not tell us who you are.

Choose essential only and none of that is recorded. There is no advertising pixel and no profiling of visitors.

How your enquiry reaches us

Whichever route you pick on the form:

• WhatsApp. The site opens WhatsApp with your message already written; you send it yourself. The message travels through WhatsApp, which is operated by Meta, so their terms apply to it as well as ours.
• Email. The message is sent from this site to our mailbox through our hosting provider’s mail server.

What we do with it

Answer you, check whether the date is free, quote for it, and hold the booking. That is all. We do not sell it, rent it, or hand it to anyone who is not part of arranging your event.

How long we keep it

For as long as it takes to deal with your enquiry, and afterwards in our booking records. Ask us to delete it and we will, unless we are required to keep it for tax or legal reasons.

Cookies

This site sets no advertising cookies. The cookies it can carry belong to Google, for two things.

The map on our home page is an embedded Google map, and Google sets cookies inside it. It loads with the page.

Google Analytics sets cookies to tell one visit from the next. It runs only after you choose Accept all.

Choose Essential only and analytics never runs. We show you a link to Google Maps instead of the map itself.

The one thing stored is your answer to the cookie notice, and it is kept in your browser’s local storage on your own device rather than in a cookie. It never travels to us and we cannot read it. Clearing your browser data removes it and the notice will ask again.

The typefaces are served from this site rather than from Google, so loading a page does not tell anyone else that you did.

Apart from the map and analytics, nothing on these pages is fetched from anyone else.

Links to other sites

We link out to WhatsApp, to Google Maps for directions, and to our developer. Once you follow one of those links, that company’s own privacy policy applies, not ours.

Your rights

Under Ghana’s Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843) — and under the GDPR if you are in the UK or the EU — you can ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Call or message us and we will deal with it.

Contact

025 744 1441 or 020 020 0054, or write to us at Adenta-Dodowa Road, Malejor, Accra.

Changes

If what we do with your information changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the top will tell you when.
