Privacy, and what is never written down
What is kept, and for how longThe discretion of this house is a filing practice rather than a promise. The safest record is the one that was never made, so very little is made.
What is asked for
A first name, so your companion knows who she is meeting. A date, an hour and a length. An address: a hotel and room number, or a street, a door and the name beside the bell. That is the whole of it, and it is all Tamsin needs to arrange an evening properly.
What is never asked for
A surname. An employer. An identity document, a photograph of one, or a reference from anybody. A home address, where the booking is at a hotel. None of these is required here, and if someone claiming to be from this house asks you for any of them, it is not us.
How long anything is kept
Until the evening has happened, and then not at all. The room number goes to your companion and to nobody else and is forgotten the next day. No client list exists, no history is kept against a name, and no note is made of who booked whom or when. If you ask Tamsin to hold a date next month she will; once it has passed there is nothing left to say it happened.
Where the conversation lives
In your messaging application, on your own device, and on the office phone. WhatsApp and Telegram are both used here, whichever you prefer, and both carry their own privacy terms which are worth reading once. Delete the thread on your side whenever you like; on ours it goes once the evening is over. Tamsin will never write to you first unless you have asked her to.
Your rights, briefly
Under UK data protection law you may ask what we hold, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. In practice the answer to the first question is almost always nothing, because there is nothing left to hold. Ask Tamsin and she will tell you plainly rather than send you a form.
