Who we are and how to contact us.

The Azumi Limited Group operates restaurants under the brands Zuma, ROKA, Inko Nito, Oblix and ETARU. More information on Azumi Limited Group is available by contacting us.

This Privacy Policy is issued on behalf of the entire Azumi Limited Group so when we mention “Azumi”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this Privacy Policy, we are referring to the relevant company(ies) in the Azumi Limited Group responsible for processing your Personal Data.

We will let you know which entity(ies) are the Controller(s) (for the purposes of the GDPR) of your Personal Data if you ask us to give you this information by contacting us at the details below.

How to contact us.

You can contact us by emailing: [email protected].

Your rights relating to your Personal Data.

Your rights in connection with your Personal Data

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

  • Request access to your Personal Data. This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the Personal Data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request erasure of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Object to processing of your Personal Data. This right exists where we are relying on a Legitimate Interest as the legal basis for our processing and there is something about your particular situation, which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of Personal Data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  • Request the transfer of your Personal Data. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
  • Withdraw consent. This right only exists where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Data (“Consent Withdrawal”). If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you with access to the certain specific functionalities of our Sites. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

How to exercise your rights

If you want to exercise any of the rights described above, please contact us using the contact details shown above in “Who We Are and How to Contact Us”

Typically, 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 could 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.

Complaints

If you would like to make a complaint regarding this Privacy Policy or our practices in relation to your Personal Data, please contact us at: [email protected]

We will reply to your complaint as soon as we can.

If you feel that your complaint has not been adequately resolved, please note that the GDPR gives you the right to contact your local data protection supervisory authority, which for the UK, is the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Marketing communications preferences.

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased goods or services from us and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or and/or by contacting us at any time using the contact details shown here “Who We Are and How to Contact Us”.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to Personal Data provided to us as a result of restaurant reservations and other interactions where we require your Personal Data to complete your booking or otherwise address your request.

What Personal Data we collect.

All the Personal Data we collect, both from you and from third parties about you, is outlined in the table below.

Before you read that table, it might be useful to explain what “Personal Data” is. The GDPR definition of Personal Data can be found here. Essentially, it boils down to: information about an individual, from which that individual is either directly identified or can be identified.

It does not include ‘anonymous data’ (i.e., information where the identity of individual has been permanently removed).

However, it does include ‘indirect identifiers’ or ‘pseudonymous data’ (i.e., information which alone doesn’t identify an individual but, when combined with certain additional and reasonably accessible information, could be attributed to a particular person).

Category of Personal Data collected What this means
Identity Data First name, surname, marital status, title, date of birth and gender.
Contact Data Your home address, work address, billing address, email address and telephone numbers.
Financial Data Your payment card details. Note that we pass any Financial Data we receive from you immediately to our third-party payment processors. We do not store any of your Financial Data.
Transaction Data Details about payments to and from you in respect of meals and gift cards you have purchased from us.
Marketing and Communications Data Your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.
Profile Data Includes your contract information, reservations and orders made by you, your interests, preferences, feedback and survey responses.
Behavioural Data Inferred or assumed information relating to your behaviour and interests based on your online activity on our sites and third party platforms and/or based on your reservation and order history.
Usage Data Includes information on how you use our website, products and services.
Technical Data Internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website or use our services.
Allergy and Preferences Data Information about food allergies, intolerances and/or other health conditions, and information relating to any other preferences you may have.

Aggregated Data

We also collect, use and share “Aggregated Data” such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your Personal Data, but once in aggregated form it will not constitute considered Personal Data for the purposes of the GDPR as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Behavioural Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Site feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as Personal Data which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Special Categories of Personal Data

The GDPR defines “Special Categories of Personal Data” to include details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data. As noted above, we may collect and use Allergy and Preferences Data that you provide to us, which may constitute Special Categories of Personal Data, in order to provide our services to you. We do not otherwise collect any Special Categories of Personal Data unless you provide your explicit consent to us to do so. We do not collect any information about criminal convictions or offences.

How we use your Personal Data and why.

We will only use your Personal Data for the purposes for which we collected it as listed below, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will update this Privacy Policy and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

What is our “legal basis” for processing your Personal Data?

In respect of each of the purposes for which we use your Personal Data, the GDPR requires us to ensure that we have a “legal basis” for that use. Most commonly, we will rely on one of the following legal bases:

  • Where we need to perform a contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you (“Contractual Necessity”).
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests (“Legitimate Interests”). More detail about the specific legitimate interests pursued in respect of each Purpose we use your Personal Data for is set out in the table below.
  • Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation (“Compliance with Law”).
  • Where we have your specific consent to carry out the processing for the Purpose in question (“Consent”).

Generally we do not rely on your Consent as a legal basis for using your Personal Data other than in the context of direct marketing communications.

We have set out below, in a table format, the legal bases we rely on in respect of the relevant Purposes for which we use your Personal Data.

Data transfers

We share your Personal Data with our affiliated companies within the Azumi Group and certain external third parties who are based outside of the UK. Any processing of your Personal Data by these parties will involve an export of your Personal Data outside of UK.

We endeavour to ensure that people to whom we provide Personal Data hold it subject to appropriate safeguards and controls. Whenever we transfer your Personal Data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

How we keep your Personal Data secure.

We have put in place appropriate technical and organizational security measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. We store all the personal information you provide on secure password and firewall protected servers.

We limit access to your Personal Data to those employees and other staff who have a business need to have such access. All such people are subject to a contractual duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any actual or suspected Personal Data breach. In the event of any such breach, we have systems in place to work with applicable regulators. In addition, in certain circumstances (e.g., where we are legally required to do so) we may notify you of breaches affecting your Personal Data.

How long we store your Personal Data.

We will only retain your Personal Data for so long as we reasonably need to use it for the purposes set out above at “How we use your Personal Data and why.”, unless a longer retention period is required by law (for example for regulatory purposes).

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

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, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in our retention policy which you can request from us by contacting.

Our policy on children.

Our Sites are not intended for children below 16 and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children via our Sites.

However, you may provide us with Identity Data relating to children where, for example, you make a booking for a child’s birthday party, and we may store this information on your account. In providing us with this Identity Data, you are agreeing that you hold parental responsibility for that child or that you have been properly authorised by the holder of parental responsibility for the child to give us this Identity Data to use for these purposes.

Third party links.

Our Sites may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share your Personal Data. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our Site, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every site you visit.
