If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.
3. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.[MM4]
International transfers
1. Some of our suppliers are based outside the UK so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK.
2. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented
  - We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
  - Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.
3. Please contact us if you would like further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.
Data security
1. 1. 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.
  2. 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?
1. 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.
2. 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, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
3. You can request further details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data by contacting us directly (please see section 10). [MM5]
Your legal rights
1. You have a number of rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
2. You have the right to:
  - Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  - Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  - Request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  - Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) as the legal basis for that particular use of your data (including carrying out profiling based on our legitimate interests). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to object.
  - You also have the absolute right to object any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (see "Opting out of marketing" in paragraph 4 for details of how to object to receiving direct marketing communications).
  - Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that 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.
  - Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data (see the table in section 4 for details of when we rely on your consent as the legal basis for using your 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 products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
  - Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in one of the following scenarios:
    - If you want us to establish the data's accuracy;
    - Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
    - Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
    - You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
3. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the information set out in the contact details section (paragraph 10).
  
  No fee usually requried
4. 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.
  
  What we may need from you
5. 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
6. 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.

Direct marketing

4.3 You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or placed reservation with us and you have not opted out of receiving the marketing. We may also contact you about other hotels, products or services provided by companies within our Group. In each case we rely on our respective legitimate interests to do so.

4.4 We may also analyse your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on which services and offers may be of interest to you so that we can then send you relevant marketing communications.

Third-party marketing

4.5 We will get your express consent before we share your personal data with any third party for their own direct marketing purposes.

Opting out of marketing

4.6 You can ask to stop sending you marketing communications at any time by following the opt-out links within any marketing communication sent to you or by contacting us using the details set out in the contact details section (paragraph 10).

4.7 If you opt out of receiving marketing communications, you will still receive reservation or service-related communications that are essential for administrative or customer service purposes, for example relating to booking confirmations or updates to our Terms and Conditions.

4.8 For more information about the cookies we use and how to change your cookie preferences, please see Cookies Policy | Crerar Hotels.

5 Disclosures of your personal data

5.1 Your personal data may be shared with other companies within our Group (who are based in the United Kingdom).

5.2 For the purposes set out in the table above (Purposes for which we will use your personal data), we may have to share personal data with external third parties who provide support integral to the provision of our services and enable us to operate, such as:

· Service providers acting as processors based in the UK and/or Europe who provide IT, cloud, software and system administration services (including CRM and other reservation booking software providers), customer, property and/or reservation management services, marketing services and accounting services.

· Professional advisers acting as processors or joint controllers including lawyers, bankers, auditors, insurers and employment and recruitment agencies based in the UK (or other relevant jurisdictions) who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance, accounting and recruitment services.

· HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities acting as processors or joint controllers based in the UK (or other relevant jurisdictions) who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.

· Other third party companies where we have an agreement in place and only where an individual has agreed that we may share their personal data with them.

· Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.

5.3 We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

6 International transfers

6.1 Some of our suppliers are based outside the UK so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK.

6.2 Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

· We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.

· Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

6.3 Please contact us if you would like further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.

7 Data security

7.1 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.

7.2 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.

8 Data retention

How long will you use my personal data for?

8.1 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.

8.2 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, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

8.3 You can request further details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data by contacting us directly (please see section 10).

9 Your legal rights

9.1 You have a number of rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.

9.2 You have the right to:

· Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

· Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

· Request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

· Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) as the legal basis for that particular use of your data (including carrying out profiling based on our legitimate interests). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to object.

· You also have the absolute right to object any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (see "Opting out of marketing" in paragraph 4 for details of how to object to receiving direct marketing communications).

· Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that 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.

· Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data (see the table in section 4 for details of when we rely on your consent as the legal basis for using your 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 products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

· Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in one of the following scenarios:

o If you want us to establish the data's accuracy;

o Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;

o Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or

o You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

9.3 If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the information set out in the contact details section (paragraph 10).

No fee usually required

9.4 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.

What we may need from you

9.5 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

9.6 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.
