Your information
Privacy notice
Last updated 29 October 2026
This page explains what Vistas Beach Cafe does with the information you give us, and what you can do about it.
We have tried to write it in plain English rather than legal language. If anything here is unclear, please ask — the contact details are at the bottom.
Who we are
Vistas Beach Cafe is run by Vazon Bay Café Limited, registered in Guernsey with company number 54187, at Vazon Rd, Guernsey GY5 7BF.
We are the data controller for the information described below. That means we decide what is collected and why, and we are responsible for looking after it.
What we collect through this website
Nothing. This website has no forms, no accounts and no shopping basket. There is no tracking, no advertising and no analytics on it either — we do not know who visits the site or which pages they look at.
What we do have is our email address and our phone number, printed on the page. If you write to us or ring us, we hold what you choose to tell us, and the rest of this notice explains what happens to it.
What we collect when you contact us
Depending on why you get in touch, that is likely to include:
- Identity information — your name, and anything else you choose to tell us about yourself.
- Contact information — your email address and phone number.
- Your enquiry or message — whatever you write to us, including the details of an event you are planning.
- Your application and CV, if you write to us about a job — your employment history, education, qualifications and whatever else your CV contains.
Why we are allowed to use it
| What we do | Our lawful basis | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Receive and reply to event enquiries and contact messages | Legitimate interests | It is in our legitimate interests to answer the people who get in touch with us and to maintain a relationship with you |
| Plan and deliver an event you have booked | Performance of a contract | We need your details to provide the event you have asked us for |
| Record allergies and dietary requirements for an event | Explicit consent | You have chosen to tell us, so that we can cater for you safely |
| Consider a job application | Steps prior to a contract | We need to assess your application in order to decide whether to offer you a job |
| Keep an unsuccessful application on file for a short period | Legitimate interests | It is in our legitimate interests to be able to consider you for other roles, and to answer any question about how we handled your application |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object. See Your rights below.
Children and young people
Our website and services are not aimed at children.
If you are a parent or guardian of a child under 16 and you become aware that your child has used our website, or otherwise given us their information without your consent, please contact us at info@lagrandemare.com. In addition to the rights set out below, we will delete or otherwise stop using your child’s information within a reasonable time.
If you are under 16, please ask your parent or guardian’s permission before giving us your information or using our website.
Who else sees it
Your information is kept in the website’s own database, which only the cafe and our website provider can sign into. It is not sold, rented or shared for marketing, ever.
These companies process information on our behalf, under contract and on our instructions:
| Who | What they do | Where |
|---|---|---|
| ChannelWeb | Builds and maintains the website, and holds the hosting accounts on our behalf | Guernsey |
| Vercel Inc. | Runs the website | United States |
| Neon Inc. | Stores the database | Frankfurt, Germany |
| Resend | Delivers the notification emails to us | United States |
| Microsoft | Hosts our email, where those notifications arrive | European Union |
| Provides the map on the Find us and Contact pages | United States |
None of them is allowed to use your information for their own purposes.
Information sent outside the Bailiwick
Some of the companies above are in the United States, which means your information may be handled there as well as in Europe:
- Vercel Inc. — the website runs on Vercel’s servers in the United States. Governed by Vercel’s Data Processing Addendum, which incorporates the Standard Contractual Clauses.
- Resend — notification emails are sent through Resend in the United States. Governed by Resend’s Data Processing Agreement, which incorporates the Standard Contractual Clauses.
- Google — loading a page with a map on it sends your IP address to Google in the United States. Governed by Google’s Data Processing Terms, which incorporate the Standard Contractual Clauses.
The database itself is held in Frankfurt, Germany, and our email is hosted within the European Union.
The map
The Find us and Contact pages include a Google map. When one of those pages loads, Google receives your IP address and may set its own cookies. That is Google’s processing rather than ours, and is covered by Google’s own privacy policy. The rest of the site works normally if your browser blocks it.
Cookies
This website does not use cookies to track you, and sets no cookies at all for ordinary visitors.
The only cookie it sets is for cafe staff signing in to update the website, and it does nothing except keep them signed in.
How long we keep it
| What | How long | Why that long |
|---|---|---|
| Event enquiries, and any allergy or dietary information in them | 12 months from our last contact with you about it | Enquiries often turn into bookings months later, and we may need to refer back to what was discussed or agreed |
| Emails and messages about anything else | 12 months from our last contact with you about it | So that we can deal with follow-up questions and any complaint about how we handled it |
| Job applications and CVs — not offered a role | 6 months from the date you apply | So that we can consider you for other roles that come up, and answer any question about how your application was handled |
| Job applications and CVs — offered a role and accepted | Becomes part of your employment record, kept until 6 months after your employment ends | We need a record of how you came to be employed for as long as you work for us |
When a period ends, the information is deleted. If you would like us to delete something sooner, just ask.
Security, and what happens if something goes wrong
We take reasonable steps to keep your information safe. Our email accounts are protected by the provider’s own security, the website’s database is not publicly accessible, and signing in to the part of the site where we keep records needs both a password and a code sent to an approved address.
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Office of the Data Protection Authority without undue delay and, where feasible, within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by The Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly without undue delay.
Your rights
Under the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017 you have the right to:
- be informed about how we use your information — which is what this page is for
- ask what we hold about you, and get a copy of it
- have it corrected if it is wrong or incomplete
- have it deleted
- restrict how we use it while a question about it is resolved
- object to us using it, including where we rely on legitimate interests
- data portability — ask us to provide the information you gave us in a commonly used electronic format, or to send it to someone else, where that applies
- withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on your consent
- complain about how we have handled your information
To exercise any of these, email hello@vistas.gg or write to us at the address below. We will respond within one month.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Data Protection Authority, which regulates data protection in Guernsey — odpa.gg.
Changes to this notice
If we change how the website handles your information, we will update this page and change the date at the top.
