Lawful Basis under GDPR for Processing

 

  Such processing is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and a Restaurant, where necessary for the purpose of complying with our legal obligations and where you have consented to providing certain information in relation to your food order preferences at the time of purchase.

  Our legitimate interests

  The normal legal basis for processing customer data, is that it is necessary for the legitimate interests of KingFood, including:

  In general, we only rely on consent as a legal basis for processing data in relation to sending direct electronic marketing communications to customers.

  Customers have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Where consent is the only legal basis for processing customer data, we will cease to process data after consent is withdrawn.



Disclosing Your Information

 

  We do not share any personally identifying data with third parties and will not disclose your personal data to any other party except as set out in this Policy.
  KingFood may engage other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf (i.e., processors) and may need to share your information with them to provide you with our services.
  We may share your data:
  

  • with authorising agencies where necessary for card payments;
  • with governmental bodies, regulators, law enforcement agencies, courts/tribunals, and insurers where we are required to do so;

  In some cases, KingFood may buy or sell its assets which may involve the transfer of user information. KingFood will transfer such information if we are acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, we will notify you by email.

  Personal Data Obtained by Restaurants
  As part of the food ordering process, a Restaurant may obtain from KingFood a user’s name, email, phone number, delivery address or other information. This information should only be used for KingFood-related communications or for KingFood-facilitated transactions.
  Where users consent to direct marketing, the user’s consent is provided directly to the Restaurant. KingFood, acting as a processor, may assist Restaurants in managing users’ consent preferences. KingFood also acts as processor when it assists Restaurants with managing their analytics.

  KingFood uses your personal data for electronic marketing purposes (with your consent) and may send you electronic mail to update you on the latest KingFood offers.
  KingFood aims to update you about products & services which are of interest and relevance to you as an individual.
