This article covers:


Bookwhen as your data controller

As your data controller, we have renewed and updated our privacy policy and given you the following:

  • The option to opt-in to any future marketing-related correspondence. You can do that using your email preferences.

  • The ability to 'pause' the processing of your data by us.


Bookwhen as your data processor

As your data processor, we have:

  • Provided an action list to help ensure you're compliant as your customers' data controller.

  • Created special consent fields, which you can easily add to your booking forms, so you can easily ask your customers to opt-in to marketing messages and agree to your privacy policy.

  • Ensured your customers can exercise all of their data rights, such as:

    • Amend any of their data, get a report on all of their data held on your Bookwhen account, have the right to delete that personal data and object to the processing of that data.

    • All of these functions will be available soon via the new Customer List, but in the meantime, we will happily perform any of these requests on your behalf.

  • Employed the highest standards in terms of data security and protection, including:

    • Having a 'cloud' database located in London provided by the best-in-class Google Cloud Platform

    • Having a strict data security organisational hierarchy, meaning you can only access personal data from your account by limited individuals at Bookwhen and usually in anonymised or pseudonymised form

    • Given you the ability to delete customer data after a certain period automatically

    • Having an apparent 'security incident' protocol, including reporting any data breaches and educating all Bookwhen staff on GDPR via a 12-hour course.
