steps we take to ensure that it is kept secure and your rights in respect of your personal data.

accordance with applicable data protection legislation and this privacy policy. We may supplement
the information that you provide with other information that we obtain from our dealings with you
or which we receive from other organisations, for example, our partners.
In broad terms, we use your data for the following purposes:
- to administer and provide products and services you request or have expressed an interest in
- to enable us to administer any competitions or other offers/promotions which you enter into

email address, telephone number and payment card details. We may also record details of any
disability or health needs you may have at the time of booking an event or service which will take
place to help to ensure your comfort and safety.

digital platforms.
News, offers and opportunities from us and our partners (which we provide only
with your consent)
We want you to be the first to know about new beers, competitions, news, events and occasional
offers from partners. If you haven’t already signed up to receive these exciting benefits please

We may also participate in Facebook's ‘Custom Audience’ service from time to time. This service
enables Thornbridge Brewery to display to you personalised advertisements when you visit
Facebook’s social media platforms. It works by converting your email address to a unique number
that Facebook uses to match to unique numbers that Facebook generates from email addresses of
its users. Where we use Facebook Custom Audiences, we will only include you if you have consented
to receive marketing from us. If you have given us your consent, you can change your mind at any
time by unsubscribing.

that we have with you, we may need to appoint other organisations to carry out some of the data
processing activities on our behalf. These may include, for example, payment processing
organisations, delivery organisations, fraud prevention and screening and credit risk management
companies, and mailing houses.
We may share your data with advertising networks and/or social media platforms for the purposes
of selecting and serving relevant adverts to you via those networks/platforms, and to search engine
and analytics providers.
We may share your data with third parties (a) if we are under a legal or regulatory duty to do so, (b)
if it is necessary to do so to enforce our terms of use, terms and conditions of sale or other
contractual rights, (c) to lawfully assist the police or security services with the prevention and
detection of crime or terrorist activity, (d) where such disclosure is necessary to protect the safety or
security of any persons, and/or (e) otherwise as permitted under applicable law.
We may share your data with our carefully selected partners we will only do this if you have
consented to receive marketing relating to our partners or if one of the conditions in the paragraph
above applies.
In all instances where we disclose your information to third parties, we will ensure that your
information is appropriately protected.
