On May 25, 2018, as you know, the new landmark privacy law, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), takes effect in the European Union (EU). The GDPR expands the privacy rights granted to EU individuals, and it places many new obligations on organisations that market to, track or handle EU personal data, no matter where an organisation is located. We wanted to let you know that Preoday is here to help our customers in their efforts to comply with the GDPR, through our robust privacy and security protections, as well as in how our own platform operates.
Preoday welcomes the GDPR as an important step forward in streamlining data protection requirements across the EU. Similar to existing legal requirements, compliance with the GDPR requires a partnership between Preoday and our clients in their use of our services.
Preoday will comply with the GDPR in the delivery of our service to our clients. We are also dedicated to helping our clients comply with the GDPR. We have closely analysed the requirements of the GDPR and have made enhancements to our products, contracts, and documentation to help support Preoday’s and our clients’ compliance with the GDPR.
1) Privacy Policy
We have updated our privacy policy to make it clear what data we collect and why. Personal data is collected from visitors to the Preoday website, consumers who use the pre-order service and from venue staff who manage the pre-order platform via the dashboard tools.
2) Marketing preferences
Both clients and consumers using digital ordering are able to update their marketing preferences on the platform. Both businesses and consumers have the choice to receive marketing communications when they access the pre-order service. If you decide you would like to receive marketing, you’ll also be able to select how you receive this.
3) Managing your preferences
We have created a new Preference Centre where you can review and, if necessary, change any choices you’ve made whilst using the Pre-order service. Clients can easily access this via the Account Settings section of the mobile app web account.
4) Data Security
Data security has always been at the heart of what we do and we continue to process and hold data using the appropriate technologies.
If you have any questions about how our platform complies with GDPR, please email GDPR@preoday.com.
It’s not as catchy as: ‘When is a door not a door?’ (answer, when it’s a jar) but it speaks to the idea that in-car collection, and the technologies that support it, are flexible enough to bend to the needs of a business and its guests.
Delivery can be daunting to the uninitiated, and it might be tempting to sign up with a third-party ordering aggregator that offers the service, such as UberEats, but other options could suit your business and brand better. Here we present three different ‘levels’ of delivery, starting with the most basic – and cheapest method: doing it yourself.
