How we get the personal information and why we have it

Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you for one of the following reasons:

  • Processing an order for collection or delivery.
  • contacting you with information about The Athenian products, services, news and special offers, if you’ve given your consent (signed up to it) when you registered with us.
  • making sure you get the best experience from our Service - depending on what computer or device that you’re using.
  • meeting legal, regulatory and compliance requirements.
  • investigating any complaints about the Service.
  • investigating any safety or security incidents or breaches.

We always want to make sure you’re in control of the information you give us, so we will ensure only the data we really need for the services being used is processed.

  • Where we need to perform the contract we have entered into with you, e.g. in the processing of an online or eat in order, making a table reservation etc.
  • Where we need to comply with a legal obligation, e.g. in the investigation of a complaint or accident.
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests, e.g. to gather feedback from you on our products and services.
  • Where we have your explicit consent to do so, e.g. if you have signed up to receive our regular newsletter emails.
