We do not allow our third party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
Some of our external service providers are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
In the event of merger, acquisition, or any sale of some or all of our businesses or assets, personal information held by us about our customers will be among the assets shared with and transferred to the buyer or merged business.

How do we protect your personal data?
The security of your data is equally as important to us as it is to you. With this in mind we will treat your data with the utmost care and take all necessary steps to protect it.
Our websites use encrypted ‘https’ technology and access to your personal data is password protected, and sensitive data (such as payment card information) is secured by SSL encryption and tokenisation.
We carry out vulnerabilities assessments and penetration testing to identify ways to further strengthen our information security.
How long do we keep your personal data?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
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 requirements.
Any Health Assessment Form you provide will be kept by us in hard copy only at the reception of the Spa, for a period of 6 months. After that the hard copy form will be retained in a locked file for a further 3 year archival period, and then it will be securely disposed of.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data (see the section “Your Rights” below for further information) and in some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Your rights as a customer of Corbin & King
Right of access
You may request access to the data we hold on you, which is usually free of charge. We may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
Right to rectification
You may have your data corrected if it is incomplete or incorrect. It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.
Right to restrict processing
This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
You may also unsubscribe from our marketing communications at any point, should you no longer wish to receive these. Each communication will include link to unsubscribe from further marketing communications.
Right to withdraw your consent to processing
You may withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
Right to object to processing
You may object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Right to erasure
You may request to have your data removed from our systems. 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 successfully exercised your right to object to processing, where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Other rights
You may request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you (or the third party you have chosen) your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Please 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.
You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.
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.
