Under GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for using your ‘personal data’. The lawful bases most relevant for our processing are:
The data subject has told us that we can use their data for a specific and defined activity.
Processing is necessary to fulfil or prepare a contract with you; for example, the information that we are required to collect in order to provide our party services.
Processing is necessary to meet a legal obligation applicable to us, for example, if we are required to retain your information to comply with tax/revenue laws
Processing is necessary to protect a person’s life or in an urgent medical situation.
Processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests. This condition does not apply if there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides our legitimate interest.
We may use your personal data for the following purposes:
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.
If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.
We may share your personal data with other organisations in the following circumstances:
Licenced premises have a responsibility to uphold four objectives from the Licensing Act 2003:
In order to uphold these objectives, in particular; the prevention of crime and disorder and the protection of children from harm we use the IDScan system in some of our venues.
Revolution Bars and Revolucion De Cuba are registered with the Information Commissioner’s office for use of this system, and we take data protection and privacy considerations seriously.
Considerable attention is paid to seeking to ensure that data captured is held securely.
IDScan retains a copy of customer identity documents. Scanning is entirely voluntary, however the management reserve the right to refuse entry if ID is not volunteered.
Access to stored data is restricted to management level. Data viewed by door supervisors extends merely to the photograph and DOB.
Occasionally we may share this data with Police, if requested following an incident in the venue, to assist in crime and disorder investigation or prosecution. An individual’s data may also be shared with Scannet, in conjunction with Pubwatch, if that individual is placed on a Barred List.
Our systems are set to automatically purge data that is over 3 years old which is in line with the statute of limitations for civil claims. Copies of ID documents will be retained for a maximum 3 years with the exception of any individual who is on the Barred List, where their details will be retained for as long as they remain on that list.
Should you require that we purge you’re information, and given that the information need not reasonably be kept for any of the purposes above, please email dpo@revolutionbarsgroup.com
In the interests of Public Safety, and the prevention of Crime and Disorder Revolution Bars Group PLC uses CCTV in all of its venues. We may, in some of our premises use body cameras for the same purpose and the use one or both may be a condition on the premises licence. Where we use CCTV, this will be clearly signposted at the entrance to the premises.
Video footage will be retained for a minimum of 31 days and will only be accessed by the following personnel;
Video copies of specific incidents may be retained and made available to local law enforcement officers and/or legal representatives where the footage is part of an accident investigation, official investigation or legal case.
Enquiries regarding CCTV footage should be sent to dpo@revolutionbarsgroup.com
We will send you relevant offers and news about our products and services in a number of ways including by email, SMS, or phone but only if you have previously consented to receive these marketing communications. You may unsubscribe or opt-out at any time by using the ‘unsubscribe link’ included in all emails or by contacting us via the address stated in part 1.

7.1.2 Right to Access Your Personal Information
You have the right to access the personal information that we hold about you in many circumstances, by making a request. This is sometimes termed ‘Subject Access Request’. If we agree that we are obliged to provide personal information to you (or someone else on your behalf), we will provide it to you or them free of charge and aim to do so within 1 month from when your identity has been confirmed.
We would ask for proof of identity and sufficient information about your interactions with us that we can locate your personal information.

7.1.4 Right to restrict processing
You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data. For example, this may be because you have issues with the accuracy of the data we hold or the way we have processed your data. The right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances.
If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us as set out below.
7.1.5 Right to Erasure
You have the right to have personal data erased. This is also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’. The right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances.
If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us as set out below.
7.1.6 Right to Portability
The right to portability gives you the right to receive personal data you have provided to a controller in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format. It also gives them you the right to request that a controller transmits this data directly to another controller.

7.1.8 Additional information
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
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.
7.1.9 For more information about your privacy rights
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) regulates data protection and privacy matters in the UK. They make a lot of information accessible to consumers on their website and they ensure that the registered details of all data controllers such as ourselves are available publicly. You can access them here https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public.
You can make a complaint to the ICO at any time about the way we use your information. However, we hope that you would consider raising any issue or complaint you have with us first. Your satisfaction is extremely important to us, and we will always do our very best to solve any problems you may have.
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see ‘6. Rights over your information’.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
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.
Wherever possible we do not transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Some of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data may sometimes involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
If we transfer your Personal Information out of Europe to a country not deemed by competent regulators to provide an adequate level of personal information protection, the transfer will be performed:
a. Pursuant to the recipient’s compliance with standard contractual clauses or binding corporate rules;
b. Pursuant to the consent of the individual to whom the Personal Information pertains; or
c. As otherwise permitted by applicable European data protection laws.
Please contact us if you would like further information.
We may, from time to time, expand or reduce our business and this may involve the sale and/or the transfer of control of all or part of our business. Any personal data that you have provided will, where it is relevant to any part of our business that is being transferred, be transferred along with that part and the new owner or newly controlling party will, under the terms of this Privacy Policy, be permitted to use that data only for the purposes for which it was originally collected by us.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time (for example, if the law changes). We recommend that you check this policy regularly to keep up-to-date.
