How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

ANIMAL CONTACT ADVICE

All animals naturally carry a range of micro-organisms, some of which can be passed onto humans, where they may cause ill health. Some of these such as E Coli 0157, present a serious hazard to health and can cause severe illness. If a member of your group shows signs of illness (e.g. sickness or diarrhea) after a visit, they should visit a doctor explaining they have had recent contact with animals.

 ✔ Wash hands properly with soap and water

✱ After touching animals or their pens

✱ After leaving the animal contact areas

✱ Before eating or drinking

✱ After changing footwear

✱ Before leaving the farm

 ✔ Supervise children to wash their hands properly

 ✔ Cover all cuts and grazes with a waterproof dressing/plaster

✖ Do not kiss animals

✖ Do not eat, drink or breastfeed whilst in the animal areas

✖ Do not let children touch animals or railings if they suck their fingers

✖ Do not allow children to suck their fingers or put anything in their mouth when in the animal areas, including small toys/ comfort blankets

✖ Do not reuse dummies if they touch the floor, until they have been sterilised
