Last update: Jan 2024

Thanks for using one of our platforms. Whether it was visiting one of the Peter’s Panas websites, downloading and installing the Peter’s Panas App or for using one of our services which requires you to provide us with your Personal Information (as defined below). We want to make sure you feel comfortable about what happens when you browse our website or give us any of your information. Formal’s not our style, so we’ve made this as easy to read as we can (but we can’t help it being so long, sorry).

We will always make sure your Personal Information is safe and secure. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, record and use the information you give us. It also explains the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. If you provide us with Personal Information, it means you’re giving us your permission to collect, use and transfer it in the ways set out in the Privacy Policy.

Our websites in the UK, the Republic of Ireland, and worldwide are:

• Peterspanas.co.uk

• Peterspanas.com

• Woolwichmarket.com

• Woolwichmarket.co.uk

• Beresfordsquare.co.uk

• Royalarsenalmarket.co.uk

All information will be held and used in accordance with the Act. If you want to read more about the Act, have a look here:

We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. In most cases, we will use your personal information in the following circumstances:

4. Do you share my Personal Information with anyone else?

We only share information with companies that we use to help us better understand and serve you. We never sell or give your Personal Information away to anybody.

Where we share your Personal Information we ensure that they have agreed to be bound by this Privacy Policy and will only use it for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

It’s possible that we, or one of our divisions, agencies or affiliates, could merge with, be sold to, or be acquired by a third party. In accordance with the conditions of this Privacy Policy, we may share your Personal Information with any successor company.

We may share your Personal Information with:

Peter’s Panas entities:

We’ll share your “Personal Information” with people or departments within Peter’s Panas but only if they have a need to access it.

Third parties:

We may disclose Personal Information about you to other third parties to comply with applicable laws and regulations. We also have the right to disclose such Personal Information to third parties where there’s been a complaint concerning your use of our Service or where we believe that you haven’t complied with our Privacy Policy.

When you place an order with us for delivery, we will only share the personal information required by our partners to fulfil your order.  

Likewise, if you use reserve a table at one of our restaurants or process an order at your table our carefully selected partners will only collect and process the personal information needed to deliver that service.

We engage third party payment processors to process the payment of your online order. These third party processors may store your payment card details, if you want them to, to speed up your transaction time. If you do not want to take advantage of this, please do not select this function.

We may also share Personal Information with third parties for marketing, advertising and strategic development purposes to help us understand customer trends and patterns and to make sure that Peter’s Panas is talking to you about the most relevant things. We have Agreements in place that define what third parties can and cannot do with your Personal Information. We also conduct periodic reviews of third parties to ensure compliance. However we will only send marketing to you where you have previously consented to receiving marketing materials from us.

We may also share such details with auditors or legal professionals to obtain professional advice. If we do this, your statutory data protection rights will be preserved.

You should be aware that if we’re requested by the police, a regulatory or government authority in the investigation of suspected illegal activities to provide your Personal Information, then we are entitled do so.

Occasionally, we’ll ask to share your Personal Information with third parties for marketing purposes. We’ll only do this when we have your explicit consent to do so (for example, when you enter a competition we’ll ask for your consent). If you don’t give your consent, it won’t prejudice your chances in any competitions. Promise.

We are using customer insight tools to improve our websites and app. These services may record the screens you visit on our website and some high-level device information.  They do not collect personally identifiable information and do not track your browsing habits across apps or websites. 

5. What security measures are in place to protect my “Personal Information”?

The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we take steps to protect your information, we can’t guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Service; any transmission is at your own risk. We have implemented reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorised access, use, alteration or disclosure. We’ll continue to maintain and improve these security measures in line with legal and technological developments.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

6. How and where will Peter’s Panas store my Personal Information?

Peter’s Panas is a global company so the Personal Information that you provide to us will be stored on our servers which might be in or outside the EEA (European Economic Area).  Access to your Personal Information is limited to those who have a need to manage it. This could include our employees of our group companies, service providers or agencies but your data will be protected in the same ways as outlined in this Privacy Policy. We’ll take all necessary and reasonable steps to ensure that any Personal Information that we send to outside the EEA is afforded the same protections as under UK law including making sure that it is protected by appropriate technical, physical, electronic, and organisational procedures in place to keep that Personal Information and prevent the unauthorised or unlawful processing of your Personal Information, and accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, your Personal Information. By submitting your Personal Information, you consent to this.

Where you’ve chosen a password which allows you to access certain parts of our Service, please keep this confidential – this one’s on you! We recommend that you don’t share your password with anyone else (even your Mum). We recommend that your password is unique to your Peter’s Panas account. We will not be liable for any unauthorised access or transactions entered into using your name and password where it has been shared with your permission or if you haven’t taken adequate steps to prevent it on either a desktop computer or another device. If you access our Service using a public computer, we advise you not to store your password and to log out of any parts of our Service. If you’re using a mobile phone or tablet to use our Service, we advise that you have an appropriate passcode (not the easiest one possible… you know the drill).

7. Links, advertisers, third party sponsors & ad-servers

Some of our Services contain links to other services provided by other data controllers that are not covered by this Privacy Policy and where information practices may be different from ours. You should consult the other services' privacy policies on such third party services before submitting any Personal Information, as we are not responsible for and have no control over Personal Information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third-party services.  We sometimes offer content or programs that are sponsored by or co-branded with identified third parties (e.g., competitions or promotions). These third parties can obtain Personal Information that you agree to submit to them to make use of the offer. We are not responsible for the collection and use of your Personal Information by these third parties. However, at the point of collection of any Personal Information, we’ll let you know if these third parties will obtain this and how it will be processed and used.

With our Service, third parties may provide us with data collection and reporting about the use of our service, as well as assist delivering relevant marketing messages and advertisements. These third parties may view, edit, or set their own cookies. The use of these technologies by such third parties is subject to their own privacy policies and is not covered by this Privacy Policy.

8. How can I find out what Personal Information Peter’s Panas holds about me or update my details?

The Act gives you the right to access your Personal Information that we hold. To protect your privacy and security, we’ll take reasonable steps to verify your identity before we carry out your request. We will not ordinarily charge a fee for access to your Personal Information but we are entitled to charge a reasonable fee for providing a copy of your Personal Information to you if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.  Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.  We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

You also have the right to ask us to update or amend any information that is wrong, ask us to stop sending you marketing information (we won’t take it to heart, honest) or even to ask us to delete your account and the associated Personal Information.

9. How long will Peter’s Panas keep my information for?

We won’t keep your Personal Information for longer than is necessary for legitimate business purposes or than is required by law.

During the Coronavirus recovery period, we may be asked by the appropriate Government(s) to retain certain personal information for an extended period of time to aid track and trace capabilities.

When required to do so we will always ensure the data retained and, where applicable, shared, is always proportionate and limited to what is necessary. 

10. The use of our service by under 14s

Our Services are not intended for children and are therefore only to be used by anyone aged 14 or over and those under the age of 16 should have their parents or guardians’ permission. We encourage the supervision of children's online activities. For example, parental control tools which are available online to help provide a child-friendly online environment. These tools can also prevent children from disclosing their name, address, and other Personal Information online without parental permission. Your child's privacy is important to us and we are committed to safeguarding children's Personal Information collected online. Users of our Service may participate in many activities without providing any Personal Information. However, if you’d like to participate in certain interactive features on our Service, we’ll ask you to provide us with certain information, such as your email address and age. Peter’s Panas will not send any marketing communications to anyone who has disclosed that they are aged under 16.

From time to time, we may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect new company initiatives, services, changes in the law or technology.

We’ll also include the date of the most recent revisions at the top of this page.
