We will obtain your separate, explicit consent to do this at the time we take a copy of the photographic identification.

This is how we decide which services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing). If you have requested information from us or made bookings/purchased services from us previously, we will rely on our legitimate interests to market to you in relation to similar services and information on our offers and news.
You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us made bookings/ purchase services from us and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

We do not collect personal data for our business suppliers, business group customers beyond business emails and a telephone number of you or your employees, as well as recording a history of contact.
We rely on legitimate interest to store and use this information, because we need to communicate with you in order to market to you, receive your goods or service, provide our services and perform our functions, as well as responding to requests for information and bookings.

International transfers
We do not transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In the event we ever intend to transfer data outside the EEA on a one-off basis, we will provide information on this to you directly and obtain your consent before transferring such data.
However, our employees and officers will be able to access emails and our IT systems whilst outside the EEA, in the course of their employment. This does mean that your personal data is accessible whilst outside the EEA, however, we have assessed the risk and ensured adequate safeguards are in place. For further details please contact us.
Data security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
Data retention
How long will you use my personal data for?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
For customers:
Personal data
Your personal customer data (including the relevant employee contact details in relation to corporate customers) will be stored for no longer than 7 years from when you last stayed with us, or 2 weeks following a request for this information to be deleted, providing we have no other legal basis or requirement to retain it.
Email & Marketing data
If you have requested service or booking information, then we will keep your personal data for 2 years from the last time we have communicated with you or provided marketing information. However, we will regularly contact you to ensure you are aware of our processing of your data, your data rights and options to stop communications. If you do not want to continue to receive emails, we will no longer send you updates and will automatically delete your personal data at that time, providing we have no other legal basis or requirement to retain it.
For website users:
We will usually keep data for 2 years.
For job applicants:
We will usually keep data for 12 months.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see ‘Deletion of information’ below for further information.

Your legal rights
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
Marketing
We will inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for marketing purposes. We will only use your data for this if you have agreed in advance.
Correction of Information
If you notify us that the personal data we hold is complete or inaccurate we will correct or complete the information as soon as possible.
Deletion of Information
You have the right to request that your personal data be deleted; including if we no longer need it for the purpose we collected it, or you withdraw your consent.
Following such a request we will erase your personal data without undue delay unless continued retention is necessary and permitted by law. If we made the personal data public, we will take reasonable steps to inform other data controllers processing your personal data about your erasure request.
Object to Processing
You have the right to object to us processing your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Restriction on Processing
You have the right to request that we suspend processing your personal data, but hold it for you, in the event the personal data we hold is inaccurate, the processing is unlawful or we no longer need the personal data. Once the processing is restricted, we will only continue to process your personal data if you consent or we have another legal basis for doing so.
Access to Information
You have the right to access information held about you and any access request will usually be free of charge. We will endeavour to provide information in a format requested, but we may charge you a reasonable fee for additional copies.
Data Portability
You have the right to receive a copy of your personal data which you gave to us. The copy will be provided in a commonly used and machine-readable format. You can also have it transmitted directly from us to another data controller, where technically possible.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
Withdraw consent at any time
You may withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
