There are a number of ways in which you may provide us with personal information that we may process in the course of our business, including:

1. We may process data relating to your use of our website such as your IP address location, length of visit, pages views, etc. We source this data using an analytics service. We process this data for the purpose of analysing activity on our website and the legal basis for us doing so is our legitimate interest in improving our website and customer experience.
2. We may process your personal data that you provide to us in the course of our day-to-day business. For example, you may provide us with your name, telephone number and credit card details to book a table or purchase a gift voucher. The legal basis for us processing this data is our legitimate interest in providing our service and the proper carrying out of our business.
3. We may process your personal data that you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to our Rinuccini email newsletter. We process this data by using your email address to send you our newsletter. The legal basis for this processing is the consent you provide to us when you subscribe to our email newsletter service.

During the course of our business, we may disclose your personal data to certain third parties. For example, financial transactions relating to our gift voucher service are handled by a third-party provider. We may need to share financial transaction information with third party banks and financial institutions to process payment for our service. We may disclose your personal data to third party service providers that assist us with our digital marketing and the operation of our website (see below for further details). These third party providers must also abide by data protection legislation in the treatment of your data and may only process your data to the extent required to carry out whatever function they are retained to do.

We send information about Ristorante Rinuccini, via email newsletters to existing customers whose contact information we have obtained over the course of our customer relationship with them. We also send email newsletters to persons who have subscribed to our newsletters via our website. We only send email newsletters to you if you have given us your consent to such marketing. If you choose to receive them, you may opt to stop receiving these emails or update your marketing preferences at any time by contacting us at info@rinuccini.com.

We use your personal data (e.g. your email address) in order to send you information about our services, offers, promotions and latest news that we believe may interest you. We may also use personal data to measure the effectiveness of our marketing. The legal basis for us processing your data in this way is your explicit consent.

We keep your personal data for marketing purposes for as long as you want to receive marketing from us and for as long as we operate a restaurant business. If you decide to opt-out or withdraw your consent to our marketing, we will no longer use your personal data for this purpose and we will delete the data from our email subscription database without undue delay.

We use third parties, such as service providers, to collect, store and process personal data on our behalf. Such service providers are only allowed to process your personal data to the extent necessary for them to provide the service we have requested from them. In order to protect your privacy, we require that all our service providers keep the personal data we provide them confidential and adequately secure. They are also required to abide by data processing agreements and applicable protection legislation. Where this involves a transfer of data out of the EEA, we will ensure that the receiving party has the necessary safeguards in place to protect your data to the extent we are required to do so by Irish Data Protection law. Furthermore, communicating via the internet and other electronic means necessarily involves personal information passing through or being handled by third parties such as our internet service provider. Save for these disclosures, any information which you provide to us shall not be disclosed to any third parties without your consent, unless we are obliged or permitted to disclose such information by law or regulation.

You have certain rights under Irish Data Protection legislation. You may access and amend your contact details at any time. You have the right to access the personal data we have collected on you and request that we erase or rectify any erroneous, unnecessary, incomplete or obsolete personal data.
