Data Privacy Notice

Tennent’s ‘Get to Germany’ promotion

This privacy notice explains how we’ll collect, use and store your personal data if you apply to take part in Tennent’s ‘Get to Germany’ promotion, and if you are selected to participate. It also gives you information about your legal rights granted under data protection laws.

Tennent’s has partnered with Studio Something, a creative studio, to deliver this exciting campaign. We’re operating as ‘Joint Controllers’ for the purposes of this promotion because the personal data processing will be conducted for the same, shared outcome.

The data controllers’ registered details are:

• Tennent Caledonian Breweries UK Ltd, Wellpark Brewery, 161 Duke Street, Glasgow, G31 1JD.
• Something Something Productions Limited, trading as Studio Something, 29 Lynedoch Street, Glasgow, G3 6EF.

If you have any questions about this privacy notice, or how your personal data will processed during this promotion, please contact the Tennent’s (C&C Group) Data Protection Officer by emailing GDPR@candcgroup.com, or email Studio Something at someone@studiosomething.co.

This privacy notice was drafted in January 2024. We’ll contact you if we make any significant changes to it.

We won’t be able to consider your application or respond to your queries if you don’t provide certain personal data. It’s also important that the personal information we hold about you is correct and up to date, so please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.

1. Why we’ll use your personal data

• Your personal data will be used to successfully plan and run our ‘Get to Germany’ promotion. This includes the participant shortlisting and final selection processes, arranging travel and accommodation and organising the activities completed by the successful teams on their way to Germany, and any media coverage including, but not limited to, social media content.
• We may need to conduct background checks to ensure suitable participants are selected and to minimise the risk of adverse impacts on our brands’ or individuals’ reputations. If such checks are deemed necessary, the shortlisted candidates will be asked to consent to this happening at that point in the process.
• If you’re chosen to take part, we’ll use your personal data to support your wellbeing and safety on your journey. This may include your health-related data, for example, in the event of injury.
• It’ll also be used to provide the winning team with their prizes.
• If necessary, your personal data will be used to manage issues or legal disputes if these arise during or following this promotional activity.

2. Our ‘lawful basis’ for using your personal data

For the initial phases of this promotion, we’ll rely on your consent to process your personal data by virtue of you completing and submitting an application for consideration.

Whilst there is no requirement or expectation that you will disclose ‘Special Category’ data, it is possible you might choose to share this information voluntarily e.g. in responding to the questions posed during the application process. Our lawful basis is therefore explicit consent.

The legal basis for processing any criminal conviction and offence data during the background checks is also consent as outlined in Condition 29 of Schedule 1 of the Data Protection Act 2018.

Once the six successful participants have been chosen and have agreed to participate, we will rely on ‘performance of a contract’ as the lawful basis to process some of the personal data, in circumstances where consent is no longer the appropriate basis to use.

3. Passing your information to others

We may have to share your data with other people and organisations. We require these third parties to respect the security of your data and to use it legally. Where a third-party is acting as our ‘data processor’, they’ll act solely on our instructions and will only use your information for that specific purpose.

We may share your data with:

• other entities within the Tennent’s parent company group (C&C Group plc), as part of our regular reporting activities, during analysis of the success of this promotional campaign, in the context of a business reorganisation or group restructuring exercise, or for system maintenance support and hosting of data.
• the other entities within the Something Something Productions Limited group for the same reasons as outlined above.
• companies that provide products and services, for example travel companies or venues used during the promotion.
• social media platform providers, such as Meta, X, and Google for the purposes of promoting the ‘Get to Germany’ campaign and sharing the participating teams’ progress across social media.
• IT system providers, including data storage providers and their technical support teams, if necessary.
• official bodies, law enforcement agencies, insurers, our accountants, auditors, legal advisors etc where we must do so to comply with legal obligations, exercise or defend our legal rights, to prevent and detect crime or prosecute offenders, or to safeguard and protect our employees, consumers, or other individuals.

4. International transfers

Your personal data will be transferred to and stored in locations outside the UK. This will typically occur when we use service providers located in the EU (e.g. accommodation and travel providers), or where our IT providers host our data elsewhere in the world. These data transfers require us to follow certain rules under data protection law to ensure that your data will be adequately protected, so we’ll only transfer data to countries that have been confirmed as protecting personal data to UK or EEA standards, or where contractual commitments are in place which make sure the data is protected to these standards.

Please contact the Tennent’s Data Protection Officer if you need more information on this.

5. How long we keep your personal data

Your personal data is only kept for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any operational, legal or reporting requirements, and in order to defend our legal rights.

We have determined that:

• Unsuccessful applicants’ data will be retained for three months after the ‘Get To Germany’ selection process closes then it will be deleted.
• Apart from the content shared on social media or elsewhere during the promotion, successful applicants’ data will be retained for one year after the ‘Get To Germany’ promotional activity ends then deleted. Social media posts and other content will remain available online and internally to Tennent’s and Studio Something as part of our brands’ campaign history and for future reference purposes.

6. Your rights

Under data protection law you have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a ‘data subject access request’). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• Request the correction of incomplete or inaccurate personal information that we hold about you.
• Request erasure of your personal information in certain circumstances.
• Object to processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.
• Request the restriction of processing of your personal information.
• Request the transfer of your personal information to another party, known as data portability.
• Withdraw your consent. In circumstances where your consent is the lawful basis for the processing, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

If you want to exercise any of these rights please contact GDPR@candcgroup.com.

Your right to complain to a data protection regulator

We aim to collect, use and safeguard your personal information in line with data protection laws and guidance. If you have concerns about how we’ve handled your personal data please get in touch with the Tennent’s Data Protection Officer at details above in the first instance.

While we hope that we can resolve your concerns, you can complain to a data protection authority regardless of whether you have exhausted our internal procedure. You can find further information and contact details for the UK’s data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office, at https://ico.org.uk.
