How we protect your PII

The Boat Yard Restaurant will take all appropriate legal, organisational, and technical measures to protect your personal information.

When The Boat Yard Restaurant uses a third-party service provider, that provider will be carefully selected and will be contractually required to use appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality and security of personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your PI from unauthorised access, use or disclosure.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet or a mobile phone network connection is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your PI, we cannot guarantee the security of the PI you transmit to our website. Any transmission is at your own risk. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur during transmission, once we have received your information, we will employ appropriate technical security measures to protect your data.

The Boat Yard Restaurant takes its obligations very seriously and adopts the strongest line in relation to the misuse of personal data or information by any of its staff or members.

Any breach of trust regarding the confidentiality of information is treated as serious misconduct if an employee under the Disciplinary Code and can lead to sanctions up to and including dismissal.

Sharing PII with third parties
We may also disclose your information to contracted companies who act as “data processors” on our behalf.

Our data processors include external consultants, professional advisers such as lawyers, software and technical support providers, IT consultants and marketing technology platforms and suppliers, credit controllers and fraud prevention companies and of course as required by law.

We only share information with third parties who help us in the delivery of our services you. These third parties may not use that information for any purpose other than assisting us in providing these services.

Any contact information that you provide through our system will not be sold/ rented/leased to any third party for selling or marketing to you. We will only provide third party companies with the personal information they need to deliver the appropriate service.

We require all companies providing such support services to meet the same standards of data protection as our own. They are prohibited from using the information for their own purposes. We do not allow service providers to use your PI for their own activities.

“Beautiful food”

We dined here on a busy Saturday night and everything was perfect. The restaurant and all the Covid protocols in place and you felt safe. The food was delicious. We both had the calamari for starters and fish and chips for main course. The staff were very friendly and efficient and it was all perfect.
