We may use your data to contact you by email, telephone or SMS to re-confirm a reservation you have with us.  We may also contact you to notify you of any changes to your reservation or check any special requirements you may have or discuss menu options, place settings, timings etc if you are holding a special event at The Kirkstyle Inn.
