We may process personal data as part of our catering services. Such processing may include, but is not limited to, employment contracts, anti-money-laundering, risk management, document processing, marketing, procurement and catering supervision. What personal data do we collect?

Employees

In order to consider you for employment, or employ you, we need to process certain information about you. We only ask for or collect details that help us provide what is required as part of your application process or employment. For example, we need information such as your name, age, contact details, education details, employment history, emergency contacts, next of kin, immigration status, passport size photos, passport copies, overalls size, bank account details, utility bills and other relevant information required for the purposes of your employment or that you may choose to share with us. Where appropriate, and in accordance with local laws and requirements, we may also collect information of a more sensitive nature, such as diversity information, information related to your health, or details of any criminal convictions.

Customers

To enable us to communicate with you, provide you with our services and to ensure that we meet certain legal requirements such as KYC (know your customer) and AML (anti-money-laundering), we need to have certain details of yours or details of individual contacts at your organisation (such as their names, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses).

We ensure that our marketing communications to you are relevant and timely.

Website/Mobile apps Users

We collect a limited amount of data in order to improve your experience when using our website and mobile apps. This includes information such as name, gender, address, phone number, email address, birthday name, name day and the frequency with which you access our website/mobile apps, and the times that our website/mobile appsis most popular.

Suppliers of goods and services

We collect a small amount of information from our Suppliers to ensure that operations work properly. We need contact details of relevant individuals at your organisation so that we can communicate with you. We also need other information such as your bank details so that we can pay for the services you provide (if this is part of the contractual arrangements between us).

Emergency contacts

As part of due diligence and in order to protect the vital interests of our Data Subjects, we will under certain circumstances collect emergency contact details.

Visitors

When visiting our premises and restaurants, we collect the necessary personal data required for security and notification purposes.

The footage is kept for no longer than two months and access is strictly regulated.
