We have processes in place to limit our use and disclosure of such sensitive data other than where permitted by law.
5. The legal basis for processing your Information
5.1 Under GDPR, the main grounds that we rely upon in order to process your Information are the following:
a) Necessary for compliance with a legal obligation we are subject to certain legal requirements which may require us to process your Information. We may also be obliged by law to disclose your Information to a regulatory body or law enforcement agency;
b) Necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests – either we, or a third party, will need to process your Information for the purposes of our (or a third party’s) legitimate interests, provided we have established that those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms, including your right to have your Information protected. Our legitimate interests include responding to requests and enquiries from you or a third party, fulfilling a reservation request, optimising the customer experience, and ensuring that our operations are conducted in an appropriate and efficient manner;
c) Consent in some circumstances, we may ask for your consent to process your information in a particular way.
d) Contractual in some circumstances, the data we collect is necessary for the performance of a contract.
6. How we share your Information
6.1 In certain circumstances we will share your Information with other parties. Details of those parties are set out below along with the reasons for sharing it.
a) Trusted third parties. In order to provide certain services, we will share your information with third party service providers such as IT infrastructure companies, email marketing providers and online reservation system provider. We will not share your data with any third party where it is not necessary to do so to provide a service to you.
b) Regulatory and law enforcement agencies. As noted above, if we receive a request from a regulatory body or law enforcement agency, and if permitted under GDPR and other laws, we may disclose certain personal information to such bodies or agencies.
c) New business owners. If we or our business merges with or is acquired by another business or company, we will share your personal information with the new owners of the business or company and their advisors. If this happens, you will be sent notice of such event.
7. How long we hold your Information
We will only retain your Information for as long as is necessary for the purpose or purposes for which we have collected it, or as is required to meet contractual, legal or regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or fulfil an identified legitimate interest. The criteria that we use to determine retention periods will be determined by the nature of the data and the purposes for which it is kept. For example, if we receive your information through a table reservation request, we will retain your data until your diner profile has been inactive for a set period, to enable us to recognise you when you make future reservation requests, identify patterns of booking, store any preferences or relevant information about your previous visits, and to respond to any enquiries about your visits afterwards. If we receive your information when you apply for a job, we will retain your data for as long as is necessary to process your application, as well as to revisit it or respond to any post-application enquiries. In certain circumstances, once we have deleted or anonymised your data, we may need to retain parts of it, in order to comply with our obligations under GDPR or other legislation, or for fraud detection purposes.
8. Your rights relating to your Information
8.1 You have certain rights in relation to personal information we hold about you. Details of these rights and how to exercise them are set out below. We will require evidence of your identity before we are able to act on your request.
a) Right of Access. You have the right at any time to ask us for a copy of the Information about you that we hold, and to confirm the nature of the Information and how it is used. Where we have good reason, and if the GDPR permits, we can refuse your request for a copy of your Information, or certain elements of the request. If we refuse your request or any element of it, we will provide you with our reasons for doing so.
b) Right of Correction or Completion. If Information we hold about you is not accurate, or is out of date or incomplete, and requires amendment or correction you have a right to have the data rectified, updated or completed. You can let us know by contacting us at the address or email address set out above.
c) Right of Erasure. In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that Information we hold about you is erased e.g. if the Information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed or our processing of the Information is based on your consent and there are no other legal grounds on which we may process the Information.
d) Right to Object to or Restrict Processing. In certain circumstances, you have the right to object to our processing of your Information by contacting us at the address or email address set out above. For example, if we are processing your Information on the basis of our legitimate interests and there are no compelling legitimate grounds for our processing which override your rights and interests.

you have provided to us previously; and
