clueQuest Ltd. reserves the right to amend this policy from time to time by updating this page. Amendments will take effect when posted on the Website and clueQuest Social Media. You should check this page from time to time to ensure that you are happy with any changes.

We may also use the email provided during booking to forward you a review request after your experience via TripAdvisor’s Review Express service.
TripAdvisor recognises the value and importance in protecting our guests’ information therefore, email addresses submitted for Review Express are not used for any other purpose and you will not be subscribed to general TripAdvisor email campaigns.
If you are not comfortable with us using Review Express to contact you for a review after a game, then please let us know in writing at escape@cluequest.co.uk.
5.2 Sensitive personal information
If you provide us with sensitive personal information such as that relating to a disability we will use this for the purpose of facilitating your visit at our premises and making sure that you get the best experience.
We keep information while you're our customer and after you've left us.
We use your information to provide you with the products and services you have selected and for a variety of other reasons.
For example, we might need to sort out disagreements, stop fraud and abuse, prove that you had a booking with us or follow our legal obligations. Or the police may need it as evidence. We may also keep information about how you use our products or services.
In each case, the length of time that we need to keep the information may be different, but we will only keep the information for as long as we need it. If student customers are purchasing a service and product through a school sponsored event, and providing us their personal details, that information is protected and retained only for as long as the event organiser and clueQuest staff agree is necessary, no longer than 3 years, and no less than 1 month after the date of the event. No personal information gathered from student customers through a school sponsored event are used for marketing purposes or shared with third parties.
We have a legal obligation to keep data about our invoices for 3 years. This includes the name of the person who paid for the invoice/booking, their contact details (phone number and email), the name of the company on whose behalf they have made the booking (if applicable), the time and date of the booking and the amount paid to clueQuest Ltd for the service.

Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
We implement a variety of security measures when a user places an order, enters, submits, or when we accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.
All transactions are processed through a gateway provider (PayPal) and financial details are not stored or processed on our servers.
Should a data breach occur, we will notify you via email within 1 business day.
