3) The legal grounds for holding data

Under GDPR the holding of your personal information must comply with at least one of six lawful grounds for processing under the data protection law. These include, consent, contractual commitments, legal obligations, to protect vital interests, public or legitimate interests.

In most instances these grounds will apply:

You may have given consent. This may, for example, apply when you tick a box to receive email marketing, newsletters or promotions. Note that we will always make it clear which data is necessary and make it simple for you to change your mind.

We may need it for contractual reasons. For example, if you purchase hospitality packages from us, we’ll collect your address details. This will be used to complete your invoice, and in certain instances to pass on to our courier. 

We may require your data to pursue legitimate interests as hospitality providers. We may, for example, use the information we hold to send you personalised offers. We may use the phone, email, digital apps or your physical address to keep you updated on about events that you have expressed interest in. On occasion we may include promotions from brand partners.

Note: In rare instances we may need to collect and process your data for legal reasons.
