“Personal Data” as defined by the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (known as the “UK GDPR”), means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Our services include our provision of an end-to-end software solution which enables you to order products from businesses who operate our software system for services and kiosks (“System”). The businesses who utilise the System (“Business” or “Businesses”), are joint Data Controllers (as defined by the UK GDPR). If you are a customer of a Business or wish to address your rights, please contact the Business.

We may also act as Data Processor (as defined in the UK GDPR) if requested by a Business, or if we provide certain services to a Business. Such processing is subject to independent contractual terms and conditions and a data processing agreement to safeguard Personal Data. You should visit the privacy policy of that Business should You have any queries or questions about Your Personal Data.

Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using our website or services, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
