We collect information about you when you contact our reservations team to make a booking or use the facilities at any of our hotels and restaurants.

We have CCTV installed in our premises in public areas and particularly around entrances and exits; this is for the purposes of prevention and detection of crime.
We also collect information from you when you subscribe to any of our marketing communications, complete our voluntary customer surveys, enter our competitions or provide feedback. These may be carried out online, by telephone or in person.
Some of the information we collect may be classed as personal data, that is, it is information about an individual who can be identified from it. It may be collected any time you submit it to us, whatever the reason may be.
We do not share any personally identifiable data with third parties without your specific consent.
We may, however, aggregate our data and provide this analysis to our group companies and our partners. For example, we may look at how many employees we have in different age brackets but none of our employees would be identifiable from this data.
We only collect and process data where we either have your consent, where it is necessary for the performance of a contract between us (e.g. your employment with us), where we need to process your data for compliance with a legal obligation, where the processing is necessary to protect the interest(s) of individuals or where we have a legitimate interest in processing the data where to do so is both necessary for us and to would not impact upon your interests or fundamental rights.
In doing business with you, typically we will collect:
- Full or partial contact details including names and addresses (including business details if you are making a corporate booking), telephone and email details.
- If you have special requirements then it may also be necessary to collect details about diet or disability or any other preferences that you may have.
- If you choose to connect with us via social media links, for example such as Facebook or Twitter, we may collect your user name, your name (including surname) and email address, your gender, and your location. We may also collect your birthdate and other significant dates for making special offers to you around your birthday and other anniversaries.
- From our overseas guests we may also collect passport details.
How long do we hold your data for?
The length of time that we hold your data will depend on the type of data however we will not hold personally identifiable data longer than is necessary and we will delete your data on request. The only exception to this is in accordance with our legal obligations and responsibilities and in fulfilment of our legitimate commercial interests.
