INTRODUCTION

​

We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of your data; in this policy, we explain how we will treat your personal information. This applies to any paper-based data that we keep as records in our office in Westbrook, Cheshire, UK - and all electronic data that we keep on databases, hard drives, and any other storage devices that we use.

​

GDPR

​

we comply with The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR - 25 May 2018.)
 

We collect data Lawfully, fairly and transparently. We tell our customers what we will do with their data and we do this at the time we collect the data. We only do what we tell the customers we will do with their data and do not collect data for one purpose and use it for another.

​

We strive to ensure that any data we collect is “accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date”. We conduct regular manual checks to update and correct data and during these checks, we check data to ensure that we still need to keep it or not. We also check to ensure that any data we keep is secure.
 

As defined by the GDPR. we must have a lawful basis to collect data. We have conducted a legitimate interests assessment (LIA) and as a food delivery service our lawful bases for processing are:

 

• Contract: - (a) to fulfil our contractual obligations to our clients and (b) because we have been asked to do something before entering into a contract (e.g. provide a quote).

• Legitimate interests: - (a) we use people’s data in ways they would reasonably expect and which have a minimal privacy impact. The information we collect is necessary and is limited to the information that we need to take a booking e.g. name, surname, address. (b) As an e-commerce store, we need to collect data so that we can perform our duties e.g. to deliver orders safely and efficiently.  More details about this can be found later on within this document.

​

​

SHARING DATA

​

If we share any data with another organization we make it clear who that is and why and how it is shared.

At this time, we only share data with Google Analytics and Facebook

​

​

RECORD KEEPING AND RETENTION OF RECORDS

 

We keep records of customers and a copy of the relevant booking terms and conditions for a period of 5 years. We do this in case there are any incidents or issues that may require them to be kept​

COOKIES

​

Most websites you visit will use cookies in order to improve your user experience, by enabling that website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’). Most cookies are harmless and are designed to help your online experience.

​

Some people find the idea of a website storing information on their computer or mobile device a bit intrusive, particularly when this information is stored and used by a third party without them knowing. Although this is generally quite harmless if you prefer, it is possible to block some or all cookies or even to delete cookies that have already been set; but you need to be aware that you might lose some functionality for those websites where you do this.

​

If you don’t want to receive cookies, you can modify your browser so that it notifies you when cookies are sent to it, or you can refuse cookies altogether. You can also delete cookies that have already been set.

​

If you wish to restrict or block web browser cookies which are set on your device then you can do this through your browser settings; the Help function within your browser should tell you how to do this.

​

A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server. Only that server will be able to retrieve or read the contents of that cookie. Each cookie is also unique to each of your web browsers. The cookie will contain anonymous information, such as a unique identifier and the site name and some digits and numbers.

​

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, and generally improving your experience of a website. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. If a website doesn’t use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site.

Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’).

​

First party cookies are set by the website you are visiting and they can only be read by that site. Third-party cookies are set by a different organization to the owner of the website you are visiting. For example, like many other website owners, we use an analytics tool from Google, which allows us to view general information about how users interact with our website. We use this information to improve the online experience for our website visitors.

The website you are visiting may also contain content embedded from external social media websites and these sites may also set their own cookies. We use various social media on our website – such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. This will not affect you unless you click on these links.

​

The website you are visiting may also have links to other third party websites. We may introduce links on our page to other websites. Please note that our cookies policy only relates to the cookies that are found on our website and that the management of other websites is outside of our control. However, we will make reasonable attempts to ensure that we are not directing you to visit websites that might use cookies in a disreputable fashion. It is your responsibility to read the cookies policy for every website you visit if you wish to understand how each intends to use them.

​

Some websites also use cookies to enable them to target advertising or marketing messages based, for example, on your location and/or browsing habits. We do not use these types of cookies on our website.

Session cookies are stored only temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted from the user’s device when the browser is closed.

Persistent cookies are saved on your computer for a fixed period (usually a year or longer) and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used where we need to know who you are for more than one browsing session.

​

The Information Commissioner’s Office is the UK’s independent authority set up to uphold information rights in the public interest, promoting openness by public bodies and data privacy for individuals. If you are interested in finding out more about guidance and best practice with regards to the use of cookies on websites, please visit their website at www.ico.org.uk.
