If you contact Deskhaus, visit our website, become a member, book a desk, sign up for something or otherwise interact with us, we may need to collect and use some information about you.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Deskhaus”, “we”, “our” and “us” mean Deskhaus Ltd.
We process personal information in accordance with applicable UK data protection legislation, including the:
You don't need to understand all of that to use Deskhaus.
That's our job.
Depending on how you interact with Deskhaus, we may collect different types of information.
This may include:
We generally won't ask you for information we don't genuinely need.
When you visit the Deskhaus website, some technical information may be collected automatically.
This can include:
Some of this information may not identify you directly, but it can still constitute personal data under UK data protection law.
We mainly use this information to understand how people use our website, fix things that aren't working and improve the overall experience.
We may use personal information to:
We're not collecting data because we're bored.
There should always be a genuine reason for us having it.
Data protection law requires us to have a valid lawful basis for processing personal information. The appropriate basis depends on what we're doing with the information.
We may rely on the following.
We may process your information where it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.
For example:
Sometimes we process information because it is reasonably necessary for the operation of Deskhaus and those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
This may include:
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider whether our use of your information is fair, necessary and proportionate.
Sometimes we're required by law to collect, retain or disclose information.
This may include obligations connected with:
Sometimes we will ask for your consent.
For example, this may apply to:
Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
Withdrawing consent doesn't make anything we properly did before withdrawal unlawful.
We may occasionally want to tell you about:
Where the law requires consent, we will ask for it.
Where applicable law allows us to rely on another lawful basis, we may do so.
Either way, you can tell us to stop direct marketing at any time.
You can usually do this by:
If you tell us you don't want marketing, we'll respect that.
We may still need to contact you about your active membership, payments, security matters or other service-related issues.
Yes, our website may use cookies.
No, not the chocolate-chip kind.
Cookies are small files or pieces of information placed on your device when you visit a website.
They can help websites:
Under UK rules, non-essential cookies generally require appropriate consent, while cookies that are strictly necessary for a service can fall within an exemption.
Some cookies may be necessary for our website to function correctly.
These might support things such as:
These cookies may not require consent where they are genuinely necessary.
We may use analytics tools to understand things such as:
Where consent is legally required, these cookies will only be used after you have provided it.
If Deskhaus ever uses advertising or remarketing technologies, we will provide appropriate information and obtain consent where required.
You should be able to manage non-essential cookie choices through the cookie controls available on our website.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
We may use third-party analytics providers to help us understand website performance.
These providers may process information such as:
Where these technologies involve non-essential cookies or similar technologies, they will be used in accordance with applicable consent requirements.
We don't sell or rent personal information.
We may, however, need to share limited information with trusted organisations that help us run Deskhaus.
These may include:
Where appropriate, these organisations process information under contractual or legal obligations designed to protect it.
We may also disclose information:
Deskhaus may use third-party providers to collect and administer payments, including Direct Debits.
We do not need or want unnecessary access to your full banking credentials.
Payment providers may process relevant financial and transactional information in accordance with their own legal obligations and privacy policies.
We may retain transaction records required for accounting, tax, dispute resolution and general business administration.
If you use Deskhaus as your business address, we may process information connected with:
We may need to verify your identity or business information where appropriate.
Mail received for members will be handled as part of providing the service, but members remain responsible for personal data contained within their own business correspondence.
CCTV operates outside the Deskhaus building for security, crime prevention and safety purposes.
CCTV footage may capture:
CCTV information may be used where reasonably necessary to:
CCTV footage will only be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for its intended purpose, unless it is required for an ongoing investigation, legal matter or insurance claim.
Deskhaus is a visual brand and we may occasionally take photographs or video around the space.
But we aren't interested in turning members into unwilling background actors.
Where you are clearly identifiable and we intend to use the image or footage for Deskhaus promotional or marketing purposes, we will ask for your permission.
You can say no.
Refusing consent will not affect your Deskhaus membership.
Where consent is the lawful basis for our use of your image, you may withdraw that consent for future use by contacting us.
If you provide personal information about someone else—for example a visitor, employee, colleague or business contact—you are responsible for ensuring you have an appropriate reason to provide that information to us.
Please don't hand over somebody else's personal details casually.
We don't keep personal data forever just because storage is cheap.
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, regulatory, accounting, tax or reporting obligations. Privacy notices should tell people about retention periods or the criteria used to determine them.
Different information therefore has different retention periods.
For example:
We periodically review the personal information we hold and delete or anonymise information where we no longer have a good reason to retain it.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information.
These may include:
However, no computer system, internet transmission or storage system can ever be guaranteed to be completely secure.
If we become aware of a personal data breach, we will assess and respond to it in accordance with our legal obligations.
Some of the technology or service providers we use may store or process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps where required by law to ensure that the information receives an appropriate level of protection.
This may include relying on:
UK data protection law gives individuals a number of rights in relation to their personal information. Depending on the circumstances and the lawful basis being used, these can include rights of access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability.
You may have the right to:
You can ask us for a copy of personal information we hold about you.
This is often referred to as a Subject Access Request. Please write in by email to workhappy@deskhaus.uk asking for a subject access request, noting your reasons. You will then (by return email) receive a link to use for processing your £25.00 payment. Your payment reference when sending your payment should be SAR + Your name. Your Subject Access Request will then be completed within 10 days.
If information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it.
In certain circumstances you may ask us to erase personal information.
This right is not absolute. For example, we may need to retain certain records because of a legal obligation or legitimate legal claim.
In certain circumstances you may ask us to restrict how we use your personal information.
You may have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
You also have the right to object to your personal information being used for direct marketing. The right to object is specifically recognised under UK GDPR.
In certain circumstances you may have the right to receive personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format or have it transferred to another provider.
Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
If you would like to exercise a privacy right or simply want to ask what information we hold about you, contact us at:

We may need to verify your identity before releasing or changing personal information.
That's not us being difficult.
It's us making sure we don't hand your information to somebody pretending to be you.
We will normally respond within the timescales required by data protection law.
** Please also read section "Accessing Your Information" above.
If you think we've handled your personal information incorrectly, please contact us first.
We'd genuinely like the opportunity to sort it out. Complaints can be emailed to 'workhappy@deskhaus.uk'
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent data protection regulator.
Information about making a complaint is available through the ICO.
Nothing in this policy affects your right to contact the ICO directly.
Our website may contain links to websites operated by other organisations.
Once you leave the Deskhaus website, their privacy practices are their responsibility.
We don't control third-party websites and aren't responsible for their privacy policies, security or content.
It's sensible to check their privacy information if you're providing them with personal details.
Deskhaus is a business coworking environment and our website and services are not aimed at children.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through our website for marketing or membership purposes.
Deskhaus does not currently make significant decisions about members or website visitors solely through automated decision-making or profiling.
If this changes in a way that affects your legal rights, we will update our privacy information accordingly.
Deskhaus may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
That might happen because:
The latest version will be published on our website and the date at the top will show when it was last updated.
For significant changes, we may also bring them to the attention of members where appropriate.
Privacy policies have to contain legal information.
They don't have to be completely unreadable.
So here's ours in one paragraph:
If you give Deskhaus personal information, we'll use it for a proper reason, look after it sensibly, share it only where there's a legitimate need, keep it only as long as we reasonably need it, and respect the rights you have over it. We won't ever sell your details, we won't knowingly play fast and loose with them, and if you've got a question, just ask us.
That's it.
Your business. Your desk. Your data.
WORK HAPPY.
