Who we are

OceanView Catering is the trading name of Joanne Evans, sole trader, 46-48 Grove Street, Swadlincote, Derbyshire, DE11 9DD. We decide how your information is used, which makes us the data controller under UK data protection law. You can contact us at oceanviewcatering.co.uk@gmail.com or on 07922466350.

What we collect

When you use our enquiry form or contact us by phone, email or text, we collect the details you give us. That is usually your name, phone number and email address, with your event date, type of event, venue, guest numbers, menu choice, serving time, dietary requirements and anything else you tell us. If you book with us, we also keep the details we need to plan your event and invoice you.

How we use it

• To reply to your enquiry and send you a quote, because you have asked us to.
• To plan and cater your event and to invoice you, because we have a contract with you.
• To keep the business records the law requires, such as accounts.
• To keep our website secure and to stop spam, which is in our legitimate interests.

If you tell us about an allergy or other dietary need, we use it only to cater safely for your guests. We do not use your details for marketing unless you ask us to. We never sell them.

Who we share it with

We only share your details with the services that help us run the business, such as our website host and our email provider. They act on our instructions. Some of these services may store information outside the UK. Where they do, they use the safeguards UK data protection law requires. We do not share your details with anyone else unless the law requires it.

How long we keep it

Enquiries sent through our website are kept for up to 12 months. If you book with us, we keep booking and invoice records for as long as the law requires for tax and accounting purposes.
