Section 2: Scope of this policy

Section 3: Who does our policy apply to?

Our policy applies to all visitors to our website and our customers. As you may be aware, SCT Climbing offers two different climbing experiences as follows:-

  1. SummitUp; and 
  2. Clip ‘n Climb.

For your information, we run the SummitUp elements internally ourselves but we are a Clip ‘n Climb partner which means that we operate this side of our business through rights granted by Entre-prises (UK) limited (company number: 03010771) of Eden Works, Colne Road, Barnoldswick, Lancashire, BB18 6SH (“Entreprises”). This means that we owe certain obligations to Entreprises including but not limited to sharing some of the personal data of our Clip ‘n Climb customers with them. Please be aware that if you are a Clip ‘n Climb customer of ours, the personal data we collect about you will be handled by us in accordance with this privacy policy, and your personal data that we share with Entreprises to fulfil our contractual obligations with them will be handled by Entreprises in accordance with their privacy policy. A copy of this can be accessed here: https://epclimbing.com/gb/en/gdpr-1 and we ask that you please review this policy too if you intend to make a Clip ‘n Climb booking before providing any information to us.
