Suffolk Food Hall understands its obligations to you when providing good service, whilst safeguarding your personal information. We understand that when you give us your personal information you are trusting us to take care of it.  We collect personal information when customers, for example, place an order, book an table or event, register with our loyalty scheme. We use this information to provide the service you expect and, if you agree, to send you confirmations and marketing information. Suffolk Food Hall will not share your information for marketing purposes with any third party. We take necessary precautions to protect your information when defining processes, selecting and using systems and ensuring the right safeguards are in place.

What information do we collect about you?

We collect information about you when you register, order, shop and eat with us. In order to help the business improve, we also collect information when you voluntarily complete customer surveys, provide feedback and participate in competitions. Website usage information is collected using cookies.

You can review and change your on-line shop account details at any time on the “My Account” webpage.  Please send an email if you have any questions concerning your account on-line or with our ordering system and/or loyalty scheme.

When an order is submitted your credit/debit card details are collected. We do not store these details; they are stored securely by an accredited payment service provider, SagePay and PayPal.  We will store any email correspondence with you for the purposes of customer service and to monitor any possible issues. Telephone calls may also be recorded for these purposes.

How will we use the information about you?

We collect information about you to process your order, manage your account and if you agree, to contact you about other Suffolk Food Hall products and services we think may be of interest to you. We use your information to confirm bookings, orders, to personalise offers, and improve your repeat visits to our website.

We hold this information securely and for only as long as there is a legitimate customer service purpose. In the right service, your details may be stored on other (hosted) systems such as booking platforms, payment fulfilment services, courier providers and other carefully selected software providers.
