It also relates to our use of any personal information you provide to us by phone, SMS, email, in letters and other correspondence and in person when visiting our premises.
In order to provide you with the full range of M Restaurants services, we sometimes need to collect information about you.
This Privacy and Cookies Policy explains the following:
M Restaurants is committed to safeguarding your personal information. Whenever you provide such information, we are legally obliged to use your information in line with all applicable laws concerning the protection of personal information, including the Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), as defined in section 3(10) of the DPA 2018, supplemented by section 205(4), (these laws are referred to collectively in this Privacy and Cookies Policy as the “data protection laws”).
M Restaurants websites contain hyperlinks to websites owned and operated by third parties. These third-party websites have their own privacy policies, and are also likely to use cookies, and we therefore urge you to review them. They will govern the use of personal information you submit when visiting these websites, which may also be collected by cookies. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the privacy practices of such third-party websites and your use of such websites is at your own risk.
M Restaurants is UK owned and operated by Rare Restaurants. This group also includes Gaucho Restaurants.
We may share information from or about you with our parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures or other companies under common control, in which case we will require them to honour this Privacy Policy. If any company acquires Rare Restaurants or all our assets that company will possess the same information and will assume the rights and obligations with respect to that information as described in this Privacy Policy.
When you participate in, access or sign up to any of M Restaurants products, services, activities or online content we may receive personal information about you. This includes newsletters, competitions, live chats, message boards, email and mobile notifications, telephone calls or texts, tickets for an M Restaurants event or create an account using M Restaurants online registration system. This can consist of information such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone or mobile number, gender or date of birth. It may also include information collected about your use of M Restaurants products and services (such as when you last visited our premises, what pages you visit on M Restaurants website and items you have “purchased” when signed in to your M Restaurants account).
If you are the parent or guardian of a child under 13, we may process limited personal data about you so you can give consent for the child to access some M Restaurants products or services. We may use your contact details to communicate with you about the child’s account or use of services.
Please note that sometimes we will require you to provide additional personal information and sometimes sensitive personal information, such as allergy information. When we do this we will provide further information about why we are collecting your information and how we will use it.
Where we provide personalised services, we may ask your permission to review third-party data about you, for example, your Twitter or Facebook feeds, to get to know you better and to provide more effective personalisation. Some of our services enable you to sign-in via a third-party service, such as Facebook. If you choose to sign-in via a third-party App, you will be presented with a dialog box which will ask your permission to allow M Restaurants to access your personal information (e.g. your full name, date of birth, email address and any other information you have made publicly accessible). Please note that any information that is not required by the particular service you have opted to use will not be retained by M Restaurants.
M Restaurants collects information about how you use M Restaurants mobile or other Apps, M Restaurants websites or other M Restaurants content online, and the device(s) you use to access the services. This includes collecting unique online identifiers such as IP addresses, which are numbers that can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on the internet.
For more information, please see section 15 of this policy, on M Restaurants use of cookies and similar technologies, and section 14, on information collected by M Restaurants when you use M Restaurants App on your mobile device.
M Restaurants will use your personal information for a number of purposes including the following:
Where M Restaurants proposes using your personal information for any other uses we will ensure that we notify you first.
If you have registered for a M Restaurants account this will also allow you to login to the M Restaurants website for your location and some other M Restaurants websites and Apps.
To provide you with a seamless experience, it may be necessary to share your personal information within our organisation.
We will only share what we need to in order to provide the service you are using – we will never routinely share all of the data we each hold about you.
You might be asked to use your M Restaurants Account on other M Restaurants services to enable you to sign in and seamlessly enjoy M Restaurants services.
Your M Restaurants account will always be covered by the policies of this website, but please be aware that additional policies may apply if your M Restaurants account is linked to another account.
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are:
M Restaurants may contact you:
M Restaurants will only send you marketing emails or contact you on M Restaurants platforms where you have agreed to this. We offer regular emails to let you know about M Restaurants products and services. From time to time we may also contact you to ask your views on issues affecting M Restaurants. We may personalise the message content based upon any information you have provided to us and your use of M Restaurants products and services.
We may use information which we hold about you to show you relevant advertising on third-party sites (e.g. Facebook, Google, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter). This could involve showing you an advertising message where we know you have a M Restaurants account and have used M Restaurants products and services.
If you don’t want to be shown targeted advertising messages from M Restaurants, some third-party sites allow you to request not to see messages from specific advertisers on that site in future. If you want to stop all personalised services from M Restaurants, including targeted advertising messages on third-party sites, you can visit Your Account in the preference centre (see section 11) and disable personalisation there.
We will keep your information within the M Restaurants except where disclosure is required or permitted by law (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies, including for child protection reasons) or as described in this section and section 9.
Generally, we will use your information within M Restaurants and will only share it outside M Restaurants where you have requested it or given your consent. However, we may share with third-party sites (e.g. Facebook, Google, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter) some data, with appropriate security measures, to show you relevant advertising on third-party sites, as set out in section 7. Sometimes M Restaurants uses third parties to process your information on our behalf, for example to provide services or analysis. M Restaurants requires these third parties to comply strictly with its instructions and M Restaurants requires that they do not use your personal information for their own business purposes, unless you have explicitly consented to the use of your personal information in this way. In some cases these third parties are located outside of the European Union.
We may share your personal information internally. Please see section 4 above for more details.
If you are aged 13 or under, please get your parent/guardian’s permission before you provide any personal information to M Restaurants. If you are under 13 and want to register for a M Restaurants account then you will need to provide your date of birth to make sure you can use the parts of M Restaurants Online that are meant for you and for younger visitors. If you are under 13 then we will need consent from your parent/guardian before you can use some of our services.
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with M Restaurants. If you delete your M Restaurants account then your personal information is deleted immediately, and the remaining information is anonymised for analytical purposes. For further information about deleting your M Restaurants account, please see section 11 below.
If you have not used your M Restaurants account in the last year then your account may be classed as dormant or may be deleted in line with this privacy policy. We will email to remind you before deletion so please check your inbox regularly to see if we have sent you any emails about this.
If the data we hold about you is not required for us to fulfil a legal obligation, you can delete your personal data by emailing: [email protected] or by visiting our preference centre at https://MRestaurants.my-pref.com
As explained in section 10 above, deleting your M Restaurants account will erase any personal information in your account that we have about you and it will mean any data we hold about how you have used M Restaurants products and services will be made anonymous.
Your information is securely stored and we will take all reasonable, technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information M Restaurants holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. We will use reasonable efforts consistent with our legal duty to supply, correct or delete personal information about you on our files.
