How We Share Your Personal Data (Data Sharing and Processors)
We do not sell your personal data, nor share it with third parties outside of the reasons outlined below, except as permitted or required by applicable law.
We may share your personal data with third parties who provide services to us, for example, our IT, communications, CRM, email and marketing automation and hosting providers. 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.
We may share your personal data with third parties in the following circumstances:
- We will share your personal data internally between Carbone’s wider group (the Major Food Group) and our investors to the extent required for internal administrative purposes, management purposes or other business-related purposes;
- When we engage third party service providers to provide services to us (for instance, IT & website hosting, reservation system, CRM, communications and analytics service providers, such as Open Table, or Resy), who are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify;
- With professional advisors such as tax or legal advisors (for example, as necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or to protect the rights or safety of the Sites, our platform, our Services or us;
- With consultants, insurance companies/claim managers and accountants;
- With agents, suppliers or sub-contractors and other associated organisations where they are engaged by us to help deliver a service that we have instructed them on;
- In order to operate the Sites, including hosting, maintenance, and analytics;
- We also disclose your personal data with third parties if disclosure is required by law or in the context of an investigation, regulatory requirement, judicial proceeding, court order or legal process (including to law enforcement or competent authorities like the police/tax authorities, such as HMRC in the UK);
- In order to protect against our liability and ensure safety, including fraud prevention and security measures;
- With third parties in case of a corporate transaction. In addition, information about our customers and users, including personal data, may be disclosed as part of any merger, sale, transfer of our assets, investment, acquisition, bankruptcy, or similar event, including while engaging with our actual or potential investors;
- To fulfill the purpose for which you provide it. For example, if you give us an email address to use the "email a friend" feature of our Sites, we will transmit the contents of that email and your email address to the recipients;
- For any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information; and
- With your consent.
Required by law. We may be required to disclose personal data as part of a legal process. We may also be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by government authorities, including requests from national security agencies or law enforcement. Some of these requests may be by regulatory oversight agencies investigating a complaint, while others may be by law enforcement seeking information. We will comply with such requests only to the extent required by law and will seek to limit disclosure where possible.
We may provide anonymous information to analytics and search engine providers to help us improve and optimise our services. We will only share this information in a form that does not directly identify you.
Your Privacy Rights and Choices
You have a number of rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You may exercise these by contacting us at privacy@majorfood.com:
- Right to access. 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.
- Right to correction. You have the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
- Right to deletion. You have the right to request deletion of your personal data, subject to certain limitations and exceptions in compliance with applicable law, including retention for legal or legitimate business purposes. 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.
- Right to Object. You have the right to 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.
- Right to Portability. You have the right to 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.
- Right to Withdraw Consent. You have the right to withdraw 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.
- Right to Restriction. You have the right to 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.
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
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.
RIGHT TO COMPLAIN
You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the relevant data protection regulator. In the UK this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach any regulator, so in the first instance please contact us at privacy@majorfood.com.
Marketing Choices
We offer you several options to manage how your information is used for marketing and advertising purposes, including rights to object or withdraw consent where applicable.
- Opt-Out of Marketing Communications: You can opt out of marketing communications directly from us by following instructions in our communications (i.e. via the unsubscribe link in our emails) or contacting us directly at privacy@majorfood.com.

How Long Your Personal Data Will Be Kept
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.

International Data Transfers
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK or the EEA to service providers or any other third party, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that the necessary safeguards are in place, for example:
- We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed by regulators in the UK or the EU to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data; or
- We may use specific standard contractual terms approved for use in the UK and EU which give the transferred personal information the same protection as it has in the UK and EU (e.g. the Standard Contractual Clauses as amended by the UK Addendum).
