4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

In certain circumstances we may pass your Personal Information to carefully selected third parties, such as the Booksellers Association and Riot Communications, our partners who assist with administering the Nero Book Awards. We will never pass your Personal Information for such purposes unless you have allowed us to do so or we have a lawful right to do so.

If after having given us permission to pass your Personal Information to third parties you change your mind you can opt out by contacting us as described below.

By submitting your Personal Information to us, you acknowledge that such third parties may receive and process your Personal Information.

We will never sell your Personal Information.

In addition, it may be necessary to disclose your Personal Information if we are under a duty to disclose your Personal Information in order to comply with any legal obligation, carry out an internal investigation, enforce our Terms and Conditions and any other agreement, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Caffè Nero, Caffè Nero’s group companies and our customers, directors, employees or other personnel.

5. OUR SECURITY MEASURES AND INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN WE DELETE DATA

We take appropriate steps to protect your Personal Information from unauthorised access and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage.

Where you have chosen a password which allows you to access certain parts of the Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We advise you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and, although we will take steps to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted via the Website; any transmission is therefore at your own risk.

6. HOW YOU CAN ACCESS AND UPDATE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You have a number of rights concerning the personal information we use, which you may ask us to observe. In some cases, even when you make a request concerning your personal information, we may not be required, or be able to carry out your request as this may result in us not being able to fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations under the lawful processing conditions under which we hold your data or because there is a minimum statutory period of time for which we have to keep your information. If this is the case, we will let you know our reasons.

You can ask us to:

  • Provide a copy of your personal information 
  • Correct or delete unnecessary or inaccurate personal information 
  • Restrict or to object to the use of your personal information at any time
  • Object to any automated decision, including profiling. Where an automated decision has been made we will advise you of this and of your rights
  • Provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to have your personal data transferred to another controller
  • Where we rely on your consent to use your personal information, you can withdraw that consent at any time. Where your consent is withdrawn, your previous consent will remain valid in respect of our use of your information prior to the date you withdrew it, or if any marketing material has been sent prior to you advising that you do not want us to contact you again

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at Caffè Nero using the contact details as described below.
