6. How do we use personal data?
How long will you hold my data?
Where we process personal data for marketing purposes or where you have given your consent, we process the data until you ask us to stop for a short period after this (to allow us to implement your requests), or for up to 24 months at which point we will contact you to check you still want to hear from us. We also keep a record of your email address if you have unsubscribed, or you have asked us not to send you direct marketing, so that you do not receive marketing emails in future.
Where we process personal data for a reservation we retain it for 12 months. After that our records are anonymised (personal data is deleted). The anonymised data may be used to provide management information and historical analysis.
Where we process personal data for any other purpose, including when you make a complaint, provide feedback or buy a voucher, we retain it for 24 months. After that your data may be anonymised (personal data is deleted). The anonymised data may be used to provide management information and historical analysis.
We will also maintain records for invoicing, tax and warranty purposes.
We may keep a record of correspondence relating to queries and complaints for as long as necessary to protect us from legal claim.
Where we no longer have a need to keep your information we will delete it.
7. Where will you send my data?
Where will you send my data?
Our servers are kept in the UK, however British Raj uses service providers around the world. Consequently your personal data may be processed in countries outside Europe (the “EEA”) (i.e. all 27 EU Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) including in countries where the local laws do not provide the same level of data protection as those in Europe. In particular, we have suppliers based in India and Europe. Where this is the case, and where the transfer is to a country or territory that is not subject to an adequacy decision by the EU Commission, personal data is adequately protected by EU Commission-approved standard contractual clauses (which have been implemented pursuant to Article 42 (2) of the GDPR) or the EU-US Privacy Shield. If you have any questions about the standard contractual clauses, or would like to obtain a copy of them, please email us via the contact details given below.
8. Telephone call monitoring
If you contact us by telephone we may monitor or record the call for training purposes, and to improve the quality of services that we provide to you.
9. Third party links
British Raj may include links to websites operated by third parties (such as our reservations service). These linked sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content or activities of these linked sites. However, we welcome any feedback about these linked sites via the contact details given below.
10. Minors
We do not knowingly collect or store any personal information about children under the age of 13 and we do not offer any of our products or services directly to children under the age of 13.
11. What rights do you have regarding personal information?
You are entitled to ask us:
for a copy of your personal data;
to correct your personal data (if it is inaccurate, incomplete or not up-to-date);
to ‘port’ your personal data (i.e. to transfer in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, to you or another data controller);
to erase your personal data; or restrict its processing (i.e. processing will temporarily stop (save to the extent that personal data will continue to be stored)).
You also have rights to object to some processing that is based on our legitimate interests, and to processing for direct marketing purposes. Further, where we have asked for your consent to process your data, you are entitled to withdraw this consent as more fully described above.
These rights are limited in some situations – for example, where we can demonstrate that we have a legal requirement to process your personal data. In some instances, this may mean that we are able to retain data even if you withdraw your consent.
Where we require your personal data to comply with legal or contractual obligations, then provision of such data is mandatory: if such data is not provided, then we will not be able to manage our contractual relationship with you, or to meet obligations placed on us.
If you have unresolved concerns you are entitled to contact the UK Information Commissioner’s Office if you have any concerns.
12. Facebook Ads
We may use Facebook advertising services to deliver content to you while you are using the Facebook platform. You can control how Facebook uses data to show you ads by turning off ads which may be based on interests and / or your relationship with specific advertisers, in your ad preference settings.
