  2. DEFINITIONS

    1. In this Policy, the following words have the meanings set out below:

      Data Controller – means the person or organisation that determines when, why and how to process Personal Data. It is responsible for establishing practices and policies in line with the GDPR. For example, each Five Guys Group company will be the Data Controller of the Personal Data about its employees.

      Data Processors – means an organisation that processes Personal Data on behalf of a Data Controller in accordance with the Data Controller's instructions. The Five Guys Group may use a Data Processor to Process Personal Data on its behalf, for example TMF Netherlands B.V. who provide payroll and human resources services to us.

      Five Guys Group means FGE International B.V., a private limited liability company, incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, having its office address at Piet Heinkade 55, 1019 GM Amsterdam, The Netherlands and registered with the Trade Register under number 61334790, together with its subsidiaries, parent and its affiliated entities (collectively, Five Guys). More information on the Five Guys Group can be requested by contacting the Legal Department at legal@fiveguys.nl.

      Personal Data Breach means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed. For example, sending an e-mail containing Personal Data of a Five Guys Group employee, including their remuneration details, to a third party that is not entitled to see it. Please see the Security Breach Notification and Reporting Policy for further details.

      Data Subject means a living, identified or identifiable individual about whom we hold Personal Data. Data Subjects may be nationals or residents of any country and may have legal rights regarding their Personal Data.

      Personal Data means any information about an individual which identifies them. A person does not need to be named in a document for the document to include Personal Data. If it is obvious from the document who the information relates to, this is enough to constitute Personal Data. Similarly, if it is obvious who the document is about when it is used in conjunction with other information held, this will also be enough to constitute Personal Data. Personal Data might include: a name; e-mail address; date of birth; an ID number; location data, an online identifier; or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person, or an opinion about an individual.

      Process(ing) means any operation or set of operations which is performed on Personal Data or on sets of Personal Data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

      Special Category Personal Data means Personal Data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health conditions, sexual life, sexual orientation, biometric or genetic data, and Personal Data relating to criminal offences and convictions.

      Website means the websites found at:

  3. DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES

    1. Anyone using Personal Data must do so in accordance with the principles set out in the GDPR. Those principles state that Personal Data must be:
      1. Processed fairly, lawfully and transparently;
      2. collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not used in a manner which is incompatible with those purposes;
      3. adequate, relevant and not excessive;
      4. accurate and, where necessary, up to date;
      5. kept for no longer than is necessary; and
      6. used in a way which ensures the Personal Data is kept secure.
    2. We are responsible for ensuring that we comply with the principles set out above and we must be able to demonstrate the steps that we have taken to comply. This is known as the accountability principle under the GDPR.
    3. We describe how you can help us satisfy these principles by setting out some practical examples in paragraphs 4 to 9 below.
  4. FAIR AND LAWFUL PROCESSING

    1. Personal Data must be Processed fairly, lawfully and in a transparent manner in relation to the Data Subject.
    2. You may only Process Personal Data on the basis of one or more of the legal bases set out in the GDPR. The list below identifies the legal bases which are most likely to apply to the Five Guys Group:
      1. the Data Subject has given consent;
      2. the Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the Data Subject;
      3. the Processing is necessary to meet our legal obligations;
      4. the Processing is necessary to protect the Data Subject's vital interests; for example where the subject of the Personal Data is physically or legally incapable of giving consent (this is intended to cover matters of life and death); or
      5. to pursue our legitimate interests, except where the Processing prejudices the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of Data Subjects.
    3. Special Category Personal Data must be treated more carefully by us so, where you wish to Process Special Category Personal Data, you must also be able to justify the Processing under a list of narrower legal bases. These include when:
      1. the Data Subject has given explicit consent;
      2. the Processing is necessary for the purpose of carrying out the obligations or exercising our legal rights in the field of employment;
      3. the Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of an individual where the subject of the Personal Data is physically or legally incapable of giving consent (this is intended to cover matters of life and death);
      4. Personal Data is manifestly made public;
      5. the Processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
      6. the Processing is necessary for the purposes of preventative or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the working capacity of an employee and medical diagnosis. This legal basis will only apply if the Processing is carried out by, or under the responsibility, of a person subject to a legal or professional duty of confidence (for instance, a doctor).
    4. You must identify and document the legal ground being relied on for each Processing activity. If you are in any doubt about which legal basis applies to the Processing, please contact the Legal Department, via e-mail at legal@fiveguys.nl for further advice and guidance.
    5. The GDPR requires Data Controllers to provide detailed, specific information to Data Subjects about how their Personal Data is used. Such information must be provided through appropriate Privacy Notices, which must be concise, transparent, intelligible, easily accessible, and in clear and plain language so that a Data Subject can easily understand them.
    6. The Five Guys Group has adopted and maintains Privacy Notices for employees, franchisees, customers and suppliers. The Privacy Notices set out the legal basis on which the Five Guys Group relies to process the Personal Data for the purposes identified in the Privacy Notices. For a copy of our Privacy Notices, please contact the Legal Department at legal@fiveguys.nl.
    7. You should check that the way you are using Personal Data is covered by the purposes detailed in the Privacy Notice. If it is not, you should refer to the Legal Department, via e-mail at legal@fiveguys.nl who will then consider the Processing and will take the appropriate action, which may include carrying out a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) and / or updating the relevant Privacy Notice.
  5. SPECIFIED PURPOSE

    1. Personal Data must be collected only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes. It must not be further Processed in any manner incompatible with those purposes.
    2. You should not use Personal Data for new, different or incompatible purposes from those purposes disclosed when the Personal Data was first obtained. If it becomes necessary for us to use or disclose the Personal Data for any purpose that is additional to or different from the originally specified purpose (i.e. to change the purpose for which the Personal Data is Processed), the Data Subject must be informed of the new purpose before any new processing occurs. Consent may also need to be obtained from the Data Subject to the proposed new use of their Personal Data.
    3. If you plan to use Personal Data for any new purposes, you should contact the Legal Department, via e-mail at legal@fiveguys.nl for further advice and guidance.
  6. DATA MINIMISATION

    1. Personal Data must be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is Processed.
    2. Personal Data should only be collected to the extent that it is required for the specific purpose(s) notified to the Data Subject. Any Personal Data which is not necessary for that purpose should not be collected by Personnel in the first place.
    3. You may only Process Personal Data if and when the performance of your job duties requires it. You should not Process Personal Data for any reason unrelated to your job duties.
    4. You must ensure that when Personal Data is no longer needed for specified purposes, it is deleted or anonymised in accordance with the Five Guys Group data retention policy. For further information on this policy, please see section 8 below.
  7. ACCURACY

    1. Personal Data must be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. It must be corrected or deleted without delay when inaccurate.
    2. You will ensure that the Personal Data we use and hold is accurate, complete, kept up to date and relevant to the purpose for which we collected it. You must check the accuracy of any Personal Data at the point of collection and at regular intervals afterwards.
    3. Where appropriate, you should assess the accuracy of Personal Data at the time of collection from sources other than the individual to whom the Personal Data relates.
    4. You must take all reasonable steps to destroy or amend inaccurate or out-of-date Personal Data.
    5. Any challenges to the accuracy of the Personal Data by the Data Subject should be processed and carefully considered in line with paragraph 12 of this Policy.
    6. Where Personal Data is duplicated and held separately at different departments, locations or different systems; please ensure that all updates or amendments to Personal Data are communicated to all parties and departments holding copies of the Personal Data and all systems holding the Personal Data are updated. Please communicate any updates or amendments to the Legal Department at legal@gfiveguys.nl.
  8. KEPT FOR NO LONGER THAN IS NECESSARY

    1. Personal Data must not be kept in an identifiable form for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the Personal Data is Processed.
    2. This means you must not keep Personal Data in a form which permits the identification of the Data Subject for longer than needed for the legitimate business purpose or purposes for which it was originally collected, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
    3. Data Subjects should be informed of the period for which their Personal Data is stored and how that period is determined. This is communicated to them at a high level in the relevant Privacy Notice at section 4.6. For further information on retention periods, please contact the Legal Department at legal@fiveguys.nl.
  9. SECURITY

    1. Personal Data must be secured by appropriate technical and organisational measures against unauthorised or unlawful processing, and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, access, use or disclosure.
    2. We will develop, implement and maintain safeguards appropriate to our size, scope and business, our available resources, the amount of Personal Data that we own or maintain on behalf of others and identified risks (including use of encryption and pseudonymisation where applicable). We will regularly evaluate and test the effectiveness of those safeguards to ensure security of our Processing of Personal Data.
    3. You are responsible for protecting the Personal Data we hold. You must follow the procedures we set out to protect the Personal Data we hold from unlawful or unauthorised Processing and against the accidental loss of, destruction or damage to that Personal Data. You must exercise particular care in protecting Special Category Personal Data from unauthorised or unlawful Processing and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, access, use or disclosure of such Special Category Personal Data.
    4. You must maintain data security by protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Personal Data, defined as follows:
      1. confidentiality means that only people who have a need to know and are authorised to use the Personal Data can access it;
      2. integrity means that Personal Data is accurate and suitable for the purpose for which it is Processed; and
      3. availability means that authorised users are able to access the Personal Data when they need it for authorised purposes.
    5. You must comply with all applicable aspects of our internal compliance polices which you received when you became an employee or are otherwise engaged with us and which have been made available to you (e.g. as laid down in the Five Guys' Group employee handbook, the Website, Five Guys internal SharePoint). Copies of these policies can be obtained from the Legal Department at legal@fiveguys.nl. You should not attempt to circumvent the administrative, physical and technical safeguards we implement and maintain to protect Personal Data.
    6. You may only transfer or allow access to Personal Data to third-party service providers who agree to comply with the required policies and procedures and who agree to put adequate measures in place, as requested. Please see section 16 for further details on the relevant requirements.
    7. All Personnel who Process Personal Data must carry out appropriate training.
  10. PERSONAL DATA BREACHES

    1. The GDPR requires Data Controllers to notify certain Personal Data Breaches to the applicable regulator and, in certain instances, the Data Subject.
    2. You must comply with the Security Breach Notification and Reporting Policy if you become aware of or suspect that a Personal Data Breach has occurred.
  11. TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE OF THE EEA

    1. The GDPR restricts transfers of Personal Data to countries outside the EEA in order to ensure that the level of protection afforded to individuals by the GDPR is not undermined. You transfer Personal Data originating in one country across borders when you transmit, send, view or access that Personal Data in or to a different country.
    2. Personal Data should not be transferred outside of the EEA, including being accessed outside of the EEA, unless this has first been discussed with the Legal Department so that appropriate procedures can be implemented.
  12. RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

    1. Data Subjects have rights when it comes to how we Process their Personal Data. These include rights to:
      1. withdraw consent to Processing at any time;
      2. receive certain information about the Data Controller’s Processing activities;
      3. request for access to their Personal Data that we hold (referred to as a Subject Access Request or SAR);
      4. object to our use of their Personal Data for direct marketing purposes;
      5. request for erasure of Personal Data, if it is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or Processed;
      6. to rectify inaccurate data or to complete incomplete data;
      7. restrict Processing in specific circumstances;
      8. object to Processing which has been justified on the basis of our legitimate interests or in the public interest;
      9. request a copy of an agreement under which Personal Data is transferred outside of the EEA;
      10. object to decisions based solely on automated decision making, including profiling;
      11. prevent Processing that is likely to cause damage or distress to the Data Subject or anyone else;
      12. be notified of a Personal Data Breach which is likely to result in high risk to the Data Subject's rights and freedoms;
      13. make a complaint to the supervisory authority; and
      14. in limited circumstances, receive or ask for their Personal Data to be transferred to a third party in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format (referred to as data portability).
    2. You must immediately forward any Data Subject request you receive to the Legal Department and your local regional managers in the country in which you work who will consider the request, consulting with the appropriate Five Guys team if necessary and prepare an appropriate response.
  13. ACCOUNTABILITY

    1. The Data Controller is responsible for, and must be able to demonstrate, compliance with the data protection principles. In practice this means that the Five Guys Group needs to be proactive and organised about its approach to data protection and evidencing the steps that have been taken to comply.
    2. You must keep and maintain accurate corporate records reflecting our Processing including records of Data Subjects' Consents and procedures for obtaining Consents.
  14. PRIVACY BY DESIGN AND DATA PROTECTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT (DPIA)

    1. We are required to implement privacy by design measures when Processing Personal Data by implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures (like pseudonymisation) in an effective manner, to ensure compliance with data protection principles.
    2. Privacy by design means that, for example, when considering new purposes for Processing Personal Data or implementing new technology, you need to consider the impact the Processing will have on Data Subjects for the whole lifecycle of the Processing (i.e. from start to finish of the Processing of the Personal Data).
    3. You must assess what privacy by design measures can be implemented on all programs / systems / processes that Process Personal Data by taking into account the following:
      1. the state of the art;
      2. the cost of implementation;
      3. the nature, scope, context and purposes of Processing; and
      4. the risks of varying likelihood and severity for rights and freedoms of Data Subjects posed by the Processing.
    4. Data Controllers must also conduct DPIAs in respect of high risk Processing. Some examples of high risk Processing include: systematic and extensive profiling with significant effects on data subjects; when Processing biometric data; or data matching by combining, comparing or matching Personal Data obtained from multiple sources.
    5. You should conduct (and document) a DPIA (and discuss your findings with the Legal Department and your local regional manager) when implementing major systems or business change programs involving the Processing of Personal Data including:
      1. use of new technologies (programs, systems or processes), or changing technologies (programs, systems or processes);
      2. automated Processing including profiling and automated decision making;
      3. large scale Processing of Special Category Personal Data;
      4. Processing biometric or genetic data;
      5. carrying out data matching using Personal Data obtained from multiple sources;
      6. tracking a Data Subject's geolocation or behaviour, including but not limited to the online environment; and
      7. large scale, systematic monitoring of a publicly accessible area.
    6. If you believe you should conduct a DPIA, you should contact the Legal Department and your local regional manager for further advice and guidance.
  15. DIRECT MARKETING

    1. In addition to the GDPR there are other rules and privacy laws that apply to direct marketing. These are complex and vary depending on the method of marketing (for example, marketing by email) and the type of recipient (for example, private individuals or corporate subscribers).
    2. If you plan to undertake direct marketing you should contact the Legal Department and your local regional manager for further advice and guidance.
  16. SHARING PERSONAL DATA

    1. Generally, we are not allowed to share Personal Data with third parties unless certain safeguards and contractual arrangements have been put in place.
    2. You may only share the Personal Data we hold with another employee, agent or representative of our group if the recipient has a job-related need to know the information and the transfer complies with any applicable cross-border transfer restrictions as detailed in section 11.
    3. If you plan to share Personal Data with a third party, you are expected to have evaluated that the third party applies appropriate technical and organisation security measures to protect the Personal Data, prior to any sharing taking place.
    4. In addition, before sharing any Personal Data with a third party please contact the Legal Department for further advice and guidance.
  17. COMPLAINTS

    1. Complaints from Data Subjects should be dealt with as follows:
      1. if the Data Subject is an employee of Five Guys Group, please refer the complaint to hrinternational@fiveguys.nl;
      2. if the Data Subject is a customer, please refer the complaint to privacy@fiveguys.com; and
      3. for all other complaints concerning Personal Data, please refer to the Legal Department at legal@fiveguys.nl.
    2. If the complaint relates to a Personal Data Breach, please refer to the Security Breach Notification and Reporting Policy.
  18. CONSEQUENCES OF FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THIS POLICY

    1. Any failures to comply with this Policy may be treated as a disciplinary matter and following an investigation, may be regarded as misconduct leading to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal, as per the Five Guys Group's disciplinary policy which is covered in the Five Guys' Group employee handbook. In certain circumstances, misuse of Personal Data will constitute a criminal offence.
  19. REVIEW AND CHANGES TO THE POLICY

    1. The Legal Department shall have overall responsibility for reviewing this Data Protection Policy to ensure that it meets legal requirements and reflects best practice. The Data Protection Policy will be reviewed annually or more often if deemed necessary by the Legal Department.
    2. Any updates to this Data Protection Policy will be uploaded to the Website. It is your responsibility to check back regularly to obtain the latest copy of this Data Protection Policy.
    3. This Data Protection Policy does not override any applicable national data privacy laws and regulations in countries where the Five Guys Group operates. Certain countries may have localised variances to this Data Protection Policy which are available upon request to the Legal Department by email to legal@fiveguys.nl.
