4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

In certain circumstances we may pass your Personal Information to carefully selected third parties. We will never pass your Personal Information for such purposes unless you have allowed us to do so or we have a lawful right to do so.

If after having given us permission to pass your Personal Information to third parties you change your mind you can opt out by contacting us as described below.

By submitting your Personal Information to us, you acknowledge that such third parties may receive and process your Personal Information. Caffè Nero asks all third parties to treat your Personal Information securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and we will take reasonable steps to enforce this. We will never sell your Personal Information.

In addition, it may be necessary to disclose your Personal Information if we are under a duty to disclose your Personal Information in order to comply with any legal obligation, carry out an internal investigation, enforce our Terms and Conditions and any other agreement, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Caffè Nero, Caffè Nero’s group companies and our customers, directors, employees or other personnel. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and prevention.

5. OUR SECURITY MEASURES AND INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN WE DELETE DATA

We take steps to protect your Personal Information from unauthorised access and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage.

We will only keep your Personal Information for as long as we reasonably require and, in any event, only for as long as the Data Protection Legislation allows.

Where you have chosen a password which allows you to access certain parts of the Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We advise you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and, although we will take steps to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted via the Website; any transmission is therefore at your own risk.

6. TRANSFERRING PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE OF THE EEA

The Personal Information you provide to us will be transferred to and stored on our servers, which sits within the EEA.

In processing your Personal Information, it will sometimes be necessary for us to transfer your Personal Information outside the European Economic Area (“EEA“) to our staff and our third party service providers. It may also be accessed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers or group companies. This includes people engaged in, among other things, the provision of support services to us.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your Personal Information is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy and the Data Protection Legislation when it is processed in, or otherwise accessed from, a location outside the EEA. This means that we will only transfer your Personal Information to third parties based outside the EEA if that party:

(a) is situated in a country that has been confirmed by the European Commission to provide adequate protection to Personal Information,

(b) has agreed (by way of written contract) to provide all protections to your Personal Information as required by the Data Protection Legislation or,

(c) we have your explicit consent to do so (such as where you have requested a service from one of our partners situated outside the EEA). Where any transfer takes place under a written contract, you have the right to request a copy of that contract and may do so by contacting us at Caffè Nero.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the UK is no longer a part of the EEA, references in this paragraph to the EEA shall mean the EEA and the UK.

7. ACCESSING AND UPDATING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You have the right to ask us not to process your Personal Information for marketing or research purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your Personal Information) if we intend to use your Personal Information for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your Personal Information to any third party for such purposes.
