Polestar Waterloo Ltd is the data controller responsible for your personal information. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we use your data, please contact us at info@circesrooftop.co.uk.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and share your personal data when you visit our website, make an enquiry or booking, join Rooftop Rewards, attend an event, interact with us on social media, or receive communications from us.

The information we collect

Depending on how you interact with Circe’s Rooftop, we may collect:

  • Your name, email address, telephone number and postal address.
  • Booking and event information, including booking date, party size, preferences and any information you choose to provide in relation to your visit.
  • Payment information. Payments are processed securely by our payment providers; we do not store full card details.
  • Marketing preferences and records of communications with us.
  • Website and technical information, such as IP address, browser type, device information and how you use our website.
  • Rooftop Rewards information, including your wallet pass or membership ID, points balance, rewards earned or redeemed, visit and transaction activity, and date of birth where you choose to provide it for birthday rewards.

Please do not send us special category personal data, such as health information, unless it is necessary for a specific request. Where this is needed, we will only use it to help deliver your booking or visit safely.

Rooftop Rewards and COMO

Rooftop Rewards is Circe’s loyalty programme and is powered by COMO. When you register for Rooftop Rewards or use your wallet pass, we and COMO process relevant personal and loyalty information to administer your membership, provide rewards, calculate points, verify eligibility, personalise your experience and communicate programme-related updates.

COMO acts as a service provider on our behalf and is required to handle your information securely and only in accordance with our instructions and applicable data protection law.

How we use your information

We use your personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so, including to:

  • Process and manage bookings, orders, enquiries, events and payments.
  • Operate Rooftop Rewards, including issuing wallet passes, awarding points, administering rewards and responding to loyalty queries.
  • Communicate important service information, such as booking confirmations, changes or safety updates.
  • Send marketing communications where you have consented, or where we are permitted to do so under applicable law.
  • Improve our website, customer experience, food and drink offering, events and marketing activity.
  • Prevent fraud, protect our business and comply with our legal obligations.

You can opt out of marketing at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails, updating your preferences where available, or emailing info@circesrooftop.co.uk. Opting out of marketing will not stop essential service messages about an existing booking or Rooftop Rewards account.

Who we share your information with

We only share personal data where necessary and with appropriate safeguards in place. This may include trusted service providers who help us run our business, including:

  • COMO, which powers Rooftop Rewards and wallet passes.
  • Our website, hosting and IT providers.
  • Our booking and reservations provider.
  • Our email and customer relationship management provider.
  • Payment providers, including Stripe where used.
  • Professional advisers, insurers, regulators, law-enforcement agencies or other parties where required by law.

We do not sell your personal data.

International transfers

Some of our suppliers may process personal data outside the UK or European Economic Area. Where this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy regulations or approved contractual protections.

The retention period will vary depending on the type of data and our legal obligations. When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it.

Keeping your information secure

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. Access is limited to people and suppliers who need the information to carry out their work.
