Disclaimer

The information given by us relating to the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is for information purposes only.  It is not designed to be an exhaustive guide to the requirements of the GDPR.  It is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with the provisions of the GDPR and related legislation.  Each company’s responsibilities relating to the GDPR will vary depending on individual circumstances; accordingly, we will not be liable to you for your reliance on information provided in relation to the GDPR.

You warrant, represent, and undertake to us that Personal Data shall comply with the GDPR in all respects including, but not limited to, its collection, holding, and processing.

You shall be liable for, and shall indemnify (and keep indemnified) us in respect of any and all action, proceeding, liability, cost, claim, loss, expense (including reasonable legal fees and payments on a solicitor and client basis), or demand suffered or incurred by, awarded against, or agreed to be paid by, us and any of our Sub-Processors arising directly or in connection with:

  • any non-compliance by you with the GDPR or other applicable legislation.
  • any Personal Data processing carried out by us and any of our Sub-Processors in accordance with instructions given by you that infringe the GDPR or other applicable legislation.

Data storage

Data is stored securely in Microsoft Azure data centres throughout the world.  Data will be held in the data centre nearest to the location of your venues e.g., for EU this will be held in London, AU – New South Wales, China – HK, Asia – Singapore, North America – Illinois.  Data is encrypted at rest and is also encrypted in transit with all communications over HTTPS.  No data leaves the production environment and only qualified personnel have access to the Azure data centres.  And no data on our UK server is transferred out with the EEA.

Backup and Security

In terms of security, access to security logs are strictly controlled within our development team, we follow advice from Microsoft as to when security patches should be applied, and we use Cloudflare to monitor for unauthorised intrusion attempts.  Authorised support and sales executives have access to your diary; a smaller set of Little Petra staff have administrator access to our network and server infrastructure.  Data is backed up automatically every day.  Data cleansing is the responsibility of the restaurant operator.  Data-retention policies will be put in place as part of the GDPR work that is currently underway.  All access to diaries is controlled by username and password.  Each diary may set its own level of password complexity, as required – the minimum password length is 6 characters, and the restaurant operator can specify the level of complexity required.  Data can be deleted upon request either by you or by us.  Data can only be deleted by Little Petra if a diner booked on Little Petra.com or the Little Petra Now app.  If a diner booked via social media/a venue’s widget/website, then the restaurant must delete that customer’s data.  A diner can contact Little Petra at admin@littlepetra.co.uk to delete their record.  We have agreed our data retention period will be 12 months.


Data breach

In case of a data breach, the point of contact from Little Petra is the Marketing Director, Yaseen Hlalat, who is also our Data Protection Officer.  He will invoke the data control procedure, as required.  Then we will report the breach to the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of the organisation becoming aware of it.  We will notify affected venues within 48 hours of becoming aware of the breach.
