Last Updated: October 27th, 2026
Roti Personal Data Protection Policy
1. Introduction and Scope
a. This Personal Data Protection Policy (this “Policy”) sets out Roti Restaurant
Group UK Ltd’s (Roti) obligations when it processes personal data. It also sets out what Roti's employees and contractors (collectively “Roti Personnel”) must do when they handle Roti personal data.
2. What is personal data and what is a data subject?
a. Personal data includes any information about an identifiable living individual.
Various documents may reference 'data subjects,' which is what data protection laws call individuals. An individual is identifiable where:
i. Roti holds clear direct identifiers – such as, name or full postal address;
and/ or
ii. It is reasonably likely that Roti can identify the individual by other
reasonable means. For example, an employee ID number where HR can link this to employee name, or order number, where customer support can link this to a customer’s name or address.
b. Online identifiers – such as cookie IDs and device IDs – are included, as well
as decisions made about individuals and subjective opinions held about people.
c. Sensitive personal data includes (i) any information about health, religion,
sex life or orientation, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, trade union membership, genetic data or biometric data used to uniquely identify a person (such as fingerprints or facial recognition) (“Special category data”) and (ii) information about criminal convictions, criminal offence data and/or alleged criminal activity.
d. You may collect personal data in a variety of ways, such as through
recruitment of prospective Roti Personnel, correspondence with Roti Personnel or with customers.
3. What is processing?
a. Processing means any use by Roti of personal data. This includes obtaining
or creating personal data, amending it, storing it, sharing it, or even accessing, anonymising or deleting it.
4. What obligations does Roti have?
a. Roti must comply with the UK GDPR, as well as with any applicable UK data
protection laws. Roti’s obligations under the UK GDPR are set out in this Policy.
5. What are my obligations?
All Roti Personnel must comply with this Personal Data Protection Policy and any additional policies which Roti introduces. Failure to comply with this Policy may result in disciplinary action.
6. Core Data Protection Principles
Roti follows these data protection principles when processing personal data:
a. Lawfulness, Fairness and Transparency
Always process personal data in a fair manner – consistent with an individual's reasonable expectations – and lawfully.
Inform individuals how Roti will use their personal data
i. Individuals must understand how their personal data will be collected and used. When developing a new product or activity that will involve personal data, consider how individuals will be informed.
ii. When Roti collects personal data directly from individuals, it should provide notice at the time of such collection.
iii. When Roti collects personal data from another source, it should provide notice within a reasonable period, but no later than a month, after the data was obtained by Roti. If Roti intends to communicate with the individual, or disclose the data to a third party, then the information must be provided no later than that communication or disclosure.
iv. At minimum, the privacy notice must contain the information listed in Annex 1.
v. Roti must ensure that privacy notices are: concise, intelligible, use clear and plain language, which is suitable for the audience; easily accessible; and provided in writing (which can include electronic means), unless the individual asks for the information to be provided orally.
vi. If the purposes for processing personal data change, Roti must provide a further privacy notice before the new processing takes place – contact Roger Singh(rnarula@roti.co.uk) if you think that a purpose for which you process personal data is not already covered by the applicable privacy notice.
Justify all processing
vii. Only process personal data where lawful grounds for processing exist in applicable legislation. These include:
a. The individual has given consent to the processing;
b. The processing is necessary to perform a contract with the
individual, or to take steps at the request of the individual before entering into a contract;
c. The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal
obligation to which Roti is subject;
d. The processing is necessary for Roti’s legitimate interests or
those of a third party, unless the interests of the individual override those interests; or
e. The processing is necessary for the recognised legitimate
interests of:
i. Disclosure where necessary for the performance of a
task carried out in the public interest;
ii. National security, public security and defence;
iii. Responding to an emergency;
iv. Detecting, investigating, preventing or prosecuting
crime; or
v. Safeguarding vulnerable individuals.
b. Purpose Limitation
i. Roti must only process personal data for purposes which are legitimate and which Roti has informed the individual about, as part of the Transparency principle (see section 2.1 above) and in the Record of Processing Activities (see section 2.6 below).
ii. Roti must not process personal data for any incompatible purpose, for example purposes which are very different from the original purpose for processing, would be unexpected, or would have an unjustified impact on individuals.
c. Data Minimization and Accuracy
i. Roti must make sure that personal data is adequate and relevant for the purposes for which it is processed and limited to what is necessary for the purpose of processing. Do not collect more personal data than needed simply because you feel it may turn out to be useful later.
ii. Roti must also ensure that personal data is accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; and take all reasonable steps to correct or delete inaccurate personal data.
d. Storage Limitation
i. Roti must determine for how long it needs to process personal data for a particular purpose; and only keep personal data for this period. At the end of this period, Roti must securely delete the personal data, or ensure that the data doesn’t allow individuals to be identified.
ii. Specific details about the retention periods that Roti has adopted for its different purposes and processing activities are set out in Roti’s “Data Retention Policy” attached hereto as Exhibit A.
e. Integrity and Confidentiality
i. Roti must keep all the personal data it processes secure, and protected against ‘unauthorised or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction or damage’. It does this by implementing various security measures which are listed in Roti’s “Information Security Policy” attached as Exhibit B to this policy; and also implementing the measures which it imposes on its data processors (as described in section 4 below).
ii. Roti must also implement a personal data breach response process so that it can log, remediate and report any data breaches as required by law. A personal data breach is a security incident that results in the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to personal data. This means a breach is more than just losing personal data; it includes:
a. Confidentiality breaches (e.g. sending data to the wrong
recipient, phishing attacks);
b. Integrity breaches (e.g. accidental alteration of data); and
c. Availability breaches (e.g. ransomware encryption, accidental
deletion without backup).
Personal data breaches can result from accidents or deliberate acts.
iii. Where a breach is likely to pose a risk to individuals’ rights and freedoms, Roti must notify the relevant data protection authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to individuals, Roti must also inform affected individuals without undue delay. All personal data breaches, even if they are not reportable, must be recorded.
iv. If you suspect a personal data breach, contact Roger Singh(rnarula@roti.com) (with copy to legal@roti.co.uk).
f. Accountability
i. Privacy by Design and Default: Roti must be able to demonstrate its compliance with this Policy, and with applicable data protection law. Roti must ensure that privacy issues have been considered from an early stage in implementing services and procedures (privacy by
design), and that, by default, only the minimum amount of personal data necessary is being processed (privacy by default). Project owners and teams are responsible for incorporating these principles when planning and delivering new projects or initiatives. Guidance on privacy considerations can be obtained from legal@roti.co.uk.
ii. Data Protection Impact Assessment: In certain cases – i.e. high risk processing - Roti may be required to carry out a data protection impact assessment (“DPIA”). A DPIA is a check conducted on a specific area of Roti’s operations to identify and minimise non- compliance risks. Project owners and teams should consult legal@roti.com at the planning stage of any new project or initiative to determine whether a DPIA is required and to obtain guidance on completing it.
iii. Record of Processing Activities (“RoPA”): Roti is required to keep a formal RoPA.
7. Individual Rights
a. Roti must deal promptly with requests from individuals to exercise their data
protection rights. If you receive a request from an individual, please forward it to [privacy@Roti.com].
b. Individuals have the following rights:
i. Access: to obtain (i) confirmation whether Roti processes their
personal data; (ii) a copy of the personal data (in a commonly-used electronic form, if the request is made electronically); and (iii) provision of supporting explanatory information.
ii. Portability: to request that their personal data is "ported" (i.e.
transferred) to a specified third party, or to the individual themself, in a machine-readable and structured format (e.g. CSV files). There are exemptions – for example, this only applies to personal data which has been provided by the individual or collected automatically from the individual, which is held in digital format, and which Roti processes with the individual’s consent or to fulfil a contract with that individual.
iii. Rectification: to request correction of inaccurate personal data.
iv. Objection: to object to: (i) processing for direct marketing purposes;
(ii) profiling based on direct marketing; and/or (iii) processing based on Roti’s legitimate interests or recognised legitimate interests.
v. Erasure (a.k.a. the "right to be forgotten"): to request that personal data
is erased in certain situations, for example, where: (i) the processing is based on consent and the consent is later withdrawn; or (ii) the individual has validly exercised a right to object and wishes the data to be erased.
vi. Restriction: to request that personal data is "restricted" (i.e. block/
pause) whilst complaints (for example, about accuracy) are resolved, or if the processing is unlawful but the individual objects to erasure.
c. These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling the request would reveal
personal data about another person, or if a data subject asks us to delete information which we are required by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep. If the data subject has unresolved concerns, they also have the right to make a complaint to us and to the Information Commissioner. Information on how individuals can exercise this right is available by contacting Roti via the contact details below.
d. Individuals also have rights not to be subject to decisions taken solely on the
basis of automated processing of personal data of an individual (i.e. no human involvement in the decision) which produce legal effects, or have similarly significant effects, unless taking such decisions is permitted by law. There are limited exceptions to this. Roti does not use any solely automated individual decision-making technology.
Time frames
e. The GDPR provides that Roti must "provide information on action taken on a
request under Articles 15 to 22 to the data subject without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt of the request". The time limit starts when Roti has received a request or when Roti receives information it has requested to verify the identity of the requester or clarify the request.
f. The “month” starts that day and runs until the same day of the following
month (i.e. 20th to 20th). If the second month does not contain that date, then the last date of the month is taken as the relevant date (relevant for periods starting on the 29, 30, or 31st of the month). By way of example:
• If a request is received on 5th March, the time limit starts from the same day and this gives the organisation until and including 5th April to comply with the request, at the latest; and
• If the request is received on 31st August, given the following month is shorter and there is no corresponding date, the date for response, at the latest, is the last day of the following month, 30th September.
g. Finally, where the last day of the month is a public holiday, or the weekend,
then the month ends at the end of the next working day after the public holiday or weekend. However, no allowance is made for any public holidays which occur in the middle of the one-month period (i.e. if there is a public holiday during the second week of the one-month period the deadline to respond is not affected).
h. In extraordinary circumstances the deadline for responding to a request can
be extended by a maximum of two months. Roti Legal is responsible for determining if an extension is necessary, please contact them legal@roti.co.uk if you think the deadline should be extended. Where an
extension is necessary, the requestor should be informed of this as soon as possible, and no later than the end of the initial thirty-day deadline.
i. Exceptions to these individual rights terms may be made only where permitted by law and where a compelling business interest exists. Exceptions must be approved in advance by Roti Legal (legal@roti.co.uk).
8. Sharing Personal Data with Third Parties and International Transfers
a. Data processors are other organisations which process personal data on
behalf of a controller. Roti may appoint processors to help it process personal data (e.g. a payroll provider).
b. When appointing any data processor to collect, store or use personal data on
Roti’s behalf, Roti must:
i. Before Engagement: Ensure that the data processor provides
satisfactory assurances about their data protection practices; and
ii. On Engagement: The data processor is required to adhere to specified
data processing terms; and
iii. Post Engagement: Confirm on an appropriate periodic basis (as
determined by Roti Information Security that the assurances provided before engagement about their data protection practices remain valid.
c. Where Roti transfers personal data to data processors or data controllers
which are based outside the UK (which includes data processors accessing the personal data from outside the UK e.g. in order to provide IT support services), a data transfer safeguard must be put in place unless that country has been approved by UK regulations. Contact Roti Legal if you suspect that personal data is being transferred outside the UK, for example, as part of your team’s activities, a project you are involved in or a system that you use.
9. Training
Roti must, and does, provide training on this Policy and Roti’s other data protection- related policies, procedures and obligations to all Roti Personnel.
10. Audits and Monitoring
Roti audits compliance with this Policy and other data protection-related policies; and will implement appropriate corrective actions to rectify any non-compliance. If you think that this Policy is not being complied with in any way at Roti, please contact legal@roti.co.uk.
11. Updates of the Policy
Roti Legal is responsible for communicating changes to this Policy, and will also provide a brief explanation of the reasons for any notified changes to this Policy.
12. Publication and Final Provisions
Roti will publish this Policy and any other amendments to it www.roti.co.uk/privacy.
Contact: You can raise any questions or concerns in relation to this Policy by contacting: legal@roti.co.uk You should also contact Roti Legal if you think you need an exception to a rule in this Policy.
Effective date: March 1, 2026
ANNEX 1
1. Information which must be provided to individuals when collecting their personal
data directly from them:
a) The identity and the contact details of Roti;
b) The purposes and the legal basis for the processing;
c) The legitimate interests of Roti, where applicable;
d) The recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data;
e) Any international data transfers, including the location of any recipients and the
existence or absence of relevant transfer regulations or the safeguards relied on(and how to obtain details of those methods);
f) Data retention periods;
g) Their rights under data protection rules;
h) The process available to individuals to withdraw any consent;
i) Whether the individual is obliged to provide the personal data and the possible
consequences of failure to provide such data; and
j) The existence of solely automated decision-making, including profiling which is
subject to the requirements under Art 22C UK GDPR, and the logic involved.
2. Information which must be provided to individuals when collecting their personal
data from another source:
a) All of the information stated in paragraph 1 of this Annex 1 above;
b) The categories of personal data obtained from the third party; and
c) The sources of the personal data - information must be as precise as possible
(e.g. identify whether this source is a private or public source; and the type of organisation / industry / sector).
ANNEX 2 - HR
1. Grounds for processing personal data
Roti HR can collect and process personal data where it is necessary for the purposes set out in the Employee Privacy Notice (Exhibit C).
If using consent as a ground for processing you should keep in mind that it must be presented clearly and separately from any other terms (e.g. not incorporated into the employment contract). Consent must also be freely given, specific and give separate options for different types of processing. In addition, it should be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.
In an employment context it can be hard to prove that consent has genuinely been "freely given". Therefore, where possible, you should avoid relying on consent for processing Roti Personnel data. In addition, if you rely on consent and Roti Personnel decide to withdraw it you won't be able to process their data anymore.
2. Transparency
Roti has prepared a privacy notice for Roti Personnel. This is available on the [name of the portal where this document will be accessible].
3. Data quality
Roti Personnel can correct their personal data using ADP. HR should take reasonable additional steps to check data – for example by prompting individuals to check that their personal data is accurate on a periodical basis.
