DATA & PRIVACY

How do we protect your personal data?

MyTab is concerned with keeping your personal data secure and protecting it from unauthorised disclosure. We implement a variety of security measures to ensure the security of your personal data on our systems, including extensive due diligence on our code and run periodically vulnerability tests to make sure our applications and your data is always safe and secure. 

If and when we use subcontractors to store your data, we enter into written agreements with them which comply with applicable data protection law in order to help ensure the security of your personal data is within best international standards. Unfortunately, no transmission of data over the internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for unauthorised third parties, to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any personal data you transmit to us. Any such transmission is done at your own risk. If you believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us.

We only keep your information for as long as we need it. 

If you have a MyTab account with us or provide information directly to us by filling in the forms on our site or via social media we will keep your information for no more than 5 years from the date you cease to have any active accounts with us.  We keep your information for this long so that we can:

  • ensure we contact you with information on products, services, suggestions, offers and recommendations relevant and appropriate to you
  • deal with any issues or concerns that you may have about how we handled your account

Who do we share your information with?

We sometimes share some of your information with other organisations, including but not limited to our affiliates and partners (including restaurant, marketing and advertising partners) and IT service providers (including cloud providers).

In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell business assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the transferred business assets. Moreover, if we, or substantially all of our assets, were acquired, or if we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of us or our assets may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

We also use a number of carefully selected third parties to supply us or you with products and services. We will only share your information with our suppliers, affiliates and partners where it is necessary for them to provide us or you with the services that are needed.

Where is your information stored?

Your information is stored through secure distributed cloud services hosted on Amazon Web Servers (AWS). For additional information, please contact info@mytabme.com.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it.  Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

Where we use providers based in the United States of America, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the United States of America. 

MyTab may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of third parties (e.g. payment processing sites or bank verification pages).  If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own terms and conditions, privacy notices and cookie notices and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for those notices or your use of those websites.
