We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected and understand the need for appropriate protection of all personal information provided by you to us. This Privacy Policy has been created in order that you understand the importance that we attach to this issue and our commitment to ensure that we comply with legislation in this area.
By providing us with your personal data, you consent, agree and accept that we, as well as our respective representatives and/or agents may collect, use, disclose and share among ourselves your personal data as described in this policy.
Who we are
Company – RIMC Liverpool Ltd
Registration Application number – ZB544219
Date – 08 May 2023
What information do we collect about you?
We collect information about you when you register with us on our website, login to our website or applications (directly or by using social media logins), or commence or complete an online transaction to use our products and services. We collect information about you when you contact our reservations team to make a booking or use the facilities at any of our hotels and restaurants. Facilities include, but are not limited to, bar and restaurant, function rooms, and guest Wi-Fi. We have CCTV installed in all of our premises in public areas and particularly around entrances and exits; this is for the purposes of prevention and detection of crime and employee monitoring.
We also collect information from you when you sign up to any of our loyalty programmes, subscribe to any of our marketing communications, complete our voluntary customer surveys, enter our competitions or provide feedback. These may be carried out online, by telephone or in person.
Some of the information we collect may be classed as personal data, that is, it is information about an individual who can be identified from it. It may be collected any time you submit it to us, whatever the reason may be.
In doing business with you, typically we will collect:
If you provide us with any personal data relating to any third party (e.g. information about your spouse, children, employees or colleagues) for particular purposes, by submitting such information to us, you warrant and represent to us that you have obtained the consent of such third party to provide us with their personal data for the respective purposes.
How will we use the information about you?
We use the information we collect about you to process your bookings, answer your queries, process your gift card and voucher purchases, provide our hotel and restaurant facilities and services, and enable you to manage your website user account.. With your consent, we will contact you via our marketing and sales channels (email/ phone/ post) about other related products and services we, or our group business, provide which we think may be of interest to you. Our marketing communications are generally sent by email.
We may use your information collected from the website, via cookies or direct input, to personalise your repeat visits to our website and send triggered messaging emails to you.
We may use your information to meet and comply with any applicable rules, laws, regulations, codes of practice or guidelines issued by any legal or regulatory body which are binding on us; and for purposes which are reasonably related to the aforesaid.
We sometimes engage the services of trusted third parties to process the information collected by generating anonymised statistics to assist us with our marketing campaigns and business analysis. We do not disclose this anonymised data outside of our business group. It is not possible for the business to identify an individual from such anonymised data presented in our internal reports.
Data Sharing
We share your data with businesses in the RIMC Liverpool Ltd through our reservation systems.
Where we use contracted and trusted third parties to facilitate our provision of services and offers, we will also share your data with those parties for that purpose. This includes the processing and delivery of marketing communications to you, processing review and upgrade services and any other third party services engaged to perform a business support, operational or administrative function.
Third parties are subject to confidentiality obligations and may only use your personal data to perform the necessary functions and not for other purposes.
We do not share your data with any third parties outside of the above processing arrangements and we do not share your data with any business external to our group for their own marketing purposes. From the data we collect, you should only ever receive marketing communications from our own brands and hotels. The exception to this is if you have additionally agreed to receive communications from external third parties, via take up of our special third party promotions, competitions and club memberships. These are third parties with whom we have agreed commercial relationships. For example, other retail, leisure and hospitality businesses.
We may also disclose personal data as permitted or required by law. For instance, if asked by the authorities, such as the police or HMRC, we may share your personal data with them for the purposes of prevention and detection of crime. Information is not shared with them outside of this purpose.
Transaction and Information Security
We understand how important it is to securely store any information that you provide. 30 James Street take the privacy and security of your payment and personal details very seriously. As part of our security measures, we use encryption technologies for online transactions via our websites.
Should you choose to store your credit card details with us via your website user account, for the purpose of making future booking transactions, we will store this information with our secure third party payment gateway which is accredited for PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards).
Our guest Wi-Fi service is provided by contracted trusted third parties, depending upon which hotel site you are visiting. If you choose to use the service to access web sites or content provided by third parties or purchase products from third parties, then your personal information may be available to the third-party provider. The way third parties handle and use your personal information related to the use of their services is governed by their policies. 30 James Street has no responsibility for their policies, or third parties’ compliance with them. Our guest wireless/wired systems use radio channels or local area networks to transmit voice and data communication information; privacy therefore cannot be guaranteed, and 30 James Street shall not be liable to you for any lack of privacy you experience while using the service.
Whilst we take reasonable, appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard the personal data that you provide to us, no transmission over the internet can ever be totally guaranteed secure. Consequently, please be aware that we cannot guarantee the complete security of any personal data that you transfer over the internet to us whilst in transit. Sending such information is entirely at your own risk.
We advise that you follow general internet security guidelines:
