We rely on the following legal bases, depending on the activity:
If We seek to use Your personal data for any optional publicity or other purpose that goes beyond the Terms and Conditions, We will provide any further information required and, where necessary, ask for Your consent.
If Your entry is selected as a Featured Meal, We may display Your first name, as registered on Your MyMcDonald’s account, together with Your entry in the App and in communications promoting or administering the Competition. We will not display Your surname or other identifying information with the Featured Meal unless this is separately agreed with You. We may decline to use, or change the way We display, a first name that We reasonably consider unsuitable for publication.
The Winner will be announced through the Promoter’s social media channels. We will limit the personal data included in the announcement to what is reasonably necessary to identify the Winner and report the result. We will discuss any additional publicity with the Winner separately.
We may share relevant personal data, only where necessary, with:
Service providers acting on Our behalf must process personal data only on documented instructions and apply appropriate confidentiality and security measures, unless they act as independent controllers under applicable law.
Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, We will ensure that the transfer is permitted by applicable data protection law and is supported by an appropriate safeguard, such as an adequacy decision or approved standard contractual clauses, together with any supplementary measures required in the circumstances. Further information may be requested using the contact details above.
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Notice. In deciding the appropriate period, We consider the duration of the Competition, the time needed to award and administer the Prize, deal with complaints or withdrawals, maintain evidence of fair administration, meet legal or audit requirements and establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Entries and first names used to advertise or report on the Competition may also be retained for a reasonable campaign archival period after the Competition, as stated in the Terms and Conditions. When personal data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymised.
Providing the personal data required to enter and administer the Competition is not a statutory requirement, but it is necessary if You wish to participate. If You do not provide required information, We may be unable to accept Your entry, verify Your eligibility, contact You as a Finalist or award the Prize. Information requested only for optional additional publicity is not required to participate or receive the Prize.
We do not use Your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Featured Meals are selected by the Promoter having regard to the criteria stated in the Terms and Conditions. The Finalist is selected at random from eligible Finalists, followed by the skill-based question described in the Terms and Conditions.
Subject to the GDPR and any applicable limitations, You may have the right to request access to, rectification or erasure of Your personal data; restriction of processing; data portability; and information about the source of personal data not obtained directly from You. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests and withdraw consent at any time where consent is relied upon. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal.
You may exercise Your rights by emailing [email protected]. Your rights are not absolute, and We may retain or continue to process information where permitted or required by law.
A Participant may also withdraw from the Competition by contacting the Promoter and identifying the relevant entry. Following withdrawal, the entry will no longer be eligible for selection. Withdrawal from the Competition does not necessarily require deletion of all related records where continued retention is lawful and necessary, for example to record the withdrawal or deal with a legal claim.
If You have concerns about how We process Your personal data, please contact Us first at [email protected] so that We can try to resolve them. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Information and Data Protection Commissioner in Malta at www.idpc.org.mt.
We may update this Privacy Notice if the Competition changes or if this is necessary to reflect legal or operational requirements. Any material change will be communicated through an appropriate Competition channel.
