THIRD PARTY LINKS

Our website may include links to third party websites, plug-ins and applications.  Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you.  We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements.  When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy notice or policy of every website you visit.

TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE EEA

The EEA is the European Economic Area, which consists of the EU Members States, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. If we transfer your personal information outside the EEA we have to tell you.

We will only send your data outside the EEA:

(a)  if you have instructed us to do so

(b)  to comply with a legal duty

(c)  to work with our suppliers who help us to run our systems and provide our services

If we do transfer your personal information outside the EEA, we will make sure that it is protected in the same way as if it was being used in the EEA by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

we may transfer your personal information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information by the European Commission.

where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal information the same protection it has in Europe.

where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal information shared between the Europe and the US.

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator (including the ICO) of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will keep your personal information for as long as you are our customer.

After you stop being a customer, because you have stopped regularly using our services, we may keep your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for. This includes the following reasons:

To respond to any questions or complaints from you

To maintain our records

To comply with laws applicable to us

For the establishment or defence of legal claims

CCTV recordings are typically overwritten after a short period of time unless an issue requiring investigation is brought to our attention.

MARKETING

We may use your personal information to tell you about relevant services and any upcoming offers.

We can only use your personal information to send you marketing messages if we have either your consent or a legitimate interest to do so.

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time – you just need to contact us, or use the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you.

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal information with any company outside our group of companies for marketing purposes.  You can ask a third party company to stop sending you marketing messages at any time, by adjusting your marketing preferences in relation to that company or by using the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you.

Where you opt out of receiving marketing messages, this will not apply to personal information provided to us as a result of purchasing our goods or services or any other transaction between you and us.

YOUR RIGHTS

You have certain rights which are set out in the law relating to your personal information.  The most important rights are set out below.

Getting a copy of the information we hold

You can ask us for a copy of the personal information which we hold about you, by writing to us at Operations Officer, City Pub Company, Essel House 2nd Floor, 29 Foley Street, London W1W 7TH or by emailing us at privacy@citypubcompany.com.   This is known as a data subject access request.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information, unless we believe that your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. In such circumstances we can charge a reasonable fee or refuse to comply with your request.

We will try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month and in that case we will notify you and keep you updated.

Telling us if information we hold is incorrect

You have the right to question any information we hold about you that you think is wrong or incomplete.  Please contact us by email at privacy@citypubcompany.com if you want to do this and we will take reasonable steps to check its accuracy and, if necessary, correct it.

Telling us if you want us to stop using your personal information

You have the right to:

object to our use of your personal information (known as the right to object); or

ask us to delete the personal information (known as the right to erasure); or

request the restriction of processing; or

ask us to stop using it if there is no need for us to use it (known as the right to be forgotten).

There may be legal reasons why we need to keep or use your data, which we will tell you if you exercise one of the above rights.

Where we rely on our legitimate interest

In cases where we are processing your personal information on the basis of our legitimate interest, you can ask us to stop for reasons connected to your individual situation. We must then do so unless we believe we have a legitimate overriding reason to continue processing your personal information.

Withdrawing consent

You can withdraw your consent to us using your personal information at any time.  Please contact us by email at privacy@citypubcompany.com if you want to withdraw your consent.  If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you with certain products or services.

Request a transfer of data

You may ask us to transfer your personal information to a third party.  This right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

MAKING A COMPLAINT

Please let us know if you are unhappy with how we have used your personal information by contacting us by email at privacy@citypubcompany.com.

You also have a right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.  You can find their contact details at www.ico.org.uk.  We would be grateful for the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.
