Admiral Taverns (Chester) Limited (‘Admiral Taverns’) takes your privacy seriously and this policy sets out the principles governing our use of the personal data you provide to us. Please take your time to read this policy in full. This privacy policy, together with any other documents we refer to in it, aims to give you information on how we, Admiral Taverns and its group of companies, collect and process your personal data through use of our websites and our services.
Our websites and apps are not intended for children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.
This privacy notice is issued by Admiral Taverns, a registered limited company registered in England and Wales with company number 03989713.
Admiral Taverns is the data controller in respect of any personal data we collect about you. Our data registration number is Z3027006. Pub Partnership Acquisitions Limited (PPAL) is registered separately with data registration number ZA665741.
By contacting us, using our services or visiting our website, which is owned and controlled by us, you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this policy unless you inform us otherwise.
2.1 Registration
When you register your interest in running one of our properties through our websites or at one of our events, we ask for certain information. We may also collect and process information you provide to us by other means, such as by telephone or in other correspondence. The information collected depends on the services you use and includes, but is not limited to, the following personal data:
When you visit or use our Digital Applications we automatically collect certain information from you including:
Sensitive personal data, such as your racial or ethnic origin or physical or mental health details, may be shared during the course of our trading relationship; however this data is neither collected nor processed unless it is done so at your request (e.g. to assist with a beer delivery).
2.2 CCTV
Admiral Taverns has CCTV systems installed in most of our tenanted and leased pubs in order to comply with our obligations under the Licensing Act 2003. Any CCTV imagery and data processed at those pubs is done so by the licensee of each property in connection with their business and Admiral Taverns is therefore not the data processor of that data.
However, PPAL has its own CCTV systems installed in their portfolio of pubs in order to comply with their obligations under the Licensing Act 2003 and to ensure the safety of customers and staff. If CCTV is present in one of those pubs, signage will be displayed in prominent positions advising of this. When you visit one of PPALs pubs, you may be captured on our CCTV systems which may cover the internal and external areas of those pubs.
Images captured on the CCTV systems will not be kept by PPAL for any longer than 60 days unless PPAL is required to do so by the conditions imposed by the premises licence for a pub, in connection with an incident or where the images are required for civil or criminal proceedings. PPAL will only disclose CCTV images when required to do so by a government organisation, statutory authority or the police when assisting them with their enquiries. PPAL will not release CCTV images to the media or publish them on the internet, and any CCTV images are captured and stored on computer systems based in the UK. PPAL will not transfer this data outside of the UK and the EU.
