Making a restaurant booking

Our Role as Data Controller and Data Processor

It is important to understand the difference between being a data controller and data processor.

When bookings are made for a restaurant listed on favouritetables.com then the restaurant, or booking partner, is the data controller. This means they determine how your personal information is processed. This included both how long your data is kept following making a booking (retention period), and maintaining marketing preferences.

We are not responsible for any restaurant’s use of information for which it is an owner or controller. To learn more about how a restaurant may use such personal information, you should review its privacy notice.

Your choices

You can choose whether or not you wish to receive information from us. If you do not want to receive direct marketing communications from us, you can opt out by not ticking the relevant boxes on the forms where we collect your personal information.

We will not contact you for marketing purposes by email, phone or text message unless you have given your prior consent. We will not contact you for marketing purposes by post unless you have given your prior consent. You can change your marketing preferences at any time by contacting us by email at admin@favouritetables.com

If you would like to delete personal information relating to a booking, please contact the restaurant where the reservation was made. Please allow a minimum of ten working days from the date of your request for your information to be removed.
