10.1 In addition to your rights under the GDPR, set out in Part 4, when you submit personal data via our central booking system or website, you may be given options to restrict our use of your personal data. In particular, we aim to give you strong controls on our use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out of receiving emails from us which you may do by unsubscribing using the links provided in our emails and at the point of providing your details and afterwards if you wish to be removed from our mailing list).

The Telephone Preference Service (“the TPS”), the Corporate Telephone Preference Service (“the CTPS”), and the Mailing Preference Service (“the MPS”).

You may access certain areas of our Site without providing any personal data at all. However, to use the shopping feature on our Site or to make a booking through our central booking system, you may be required to submit or allow for the collection of certain data.
12. How Can I Access My Personal Data:
If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 13. There is not normally any charge for a subject access request.

We will respond to your subject access request within 28 days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time.
