How the law protects you

Data protection laws state that we are only able to process personal data if we have valid reasons to do so. The basis for processing your personal data includes, but is not limited to, your consent, correspondence of a billing contracts, to enable billing and remittance, and to contact you for customer service purposes.


How do we collect personal data from you?

We collect personal data in the following ways:

1. Information we process because we start a working relationship and you hire our venue:

When you hire The Spin Bar, a working relationship is formed between you and us. The service we provide to you necessarily entails you providing us with personal information in order to undertake agreed work and future billing.

If you provide us with personal data about a third party (for example your own clients, customers, staff or suppliers), you warrant that you have obtained the express consent from the third party for the disclosure and use of their personal data.

We shall continue to process this information until the working relationship between us ends or is terminated by either party.

2. Information we process with your consent:

Through certain actions when otherwise there is no working relationship between us, such as when you ask us to provide you with more information about our venue, you provide your consent to us to process information that may be personal information.

Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information. Sometimes you might give your consent implicitly, such as when you write to us requesting a response.

We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by writing to us at Units 3-5 The Boathouse, Gasworks Lane, Brunel Quay, Bristol BS1 5AT or by email at privacy@thespinbar.co.uk. If you do so, we shall not be able to provide our services further.

3. Information we process for the purposes of legitimate interests:

We may process information on the basis there is a legitimate interest, either to you or to us, of doing so. Where we process your information on this basis, we do after having given careful consideration to:

  • whether we could achieve the same objective by other means
  • whether processing (or not processing) might cause you harm
  • whether you would expect us to process your data, and whether you would, in the round, consider it reasonable to do so

For example, we may process your data on this basis for the purposes of:

  • record-keeping for the proper and necessary administration of our business
  • protecting and asserting your rights, our rights, or the rights of any other third party
  • insuring against or obtaining professional advice that is required to manage business risk
  • protecting your interests where we believe we have a duty to do so

4. Information we process because we have a legal obligation:

We are subject to the law like everyone else. Sometimes, we must process your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation.

For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.

This may include your personal information.
