Legal basis
The legal basis we use to process your personal data depends on the purpose of the processing.
We keep a record of enquiries received to help us plan our business strategy and confirm that we are offering what potential clients want. This is a legitimate interest under Article 6(f) of the GDPR.
We keep your personal data in order to manage our relationship with you. This is a legitimate interest and may also, depending on the nature of the relationship, be prior to entering into a contract to provide services as set out in Article 6(b) of the GDPR.
If you wish us to help you with a data protection complaint then we will process your personal data according to Article 6(b) of the GDPR – “processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract”.
If we need to we may share your information with our legal partners FP Logue Solicitors. We will never do this without your consent, and this will be prior to entering into a contract to provide services as set out in Article 6(b) of the GDPR.
Transfers
We don’t transfer or process personal data outside the EEA unless we have your specific consent or where the nature of the processing means we have to – for example if you use an email service provider located outside the EEA.
Cookies
We don’t use analytics on this website and strive to minimise the amount of cookies placed on your device.
This site is built using WordPress and uses some plugins to extend the functionality of the site. These plugins may drop some cookies which we haven’t managed to disable. If you see a tracking cookie being dropped then get in touch with us and we’ll try and squash it.
Embedded content
We don’t embed content from other websites on this site where we can avoid doing so in order to prevent third party tracking.
For example, if we were to embed a YouTube video on our website then Google tracks you. Therefore we link to useful content and provide a warning where appropriate.
Data Processors
We do not currently use any data processors to process your personal data on our behalf.
Your Rights
You have a lot of rights in relation to the personal data we process. If you want to exercise any of these rights please contact us.
You have the right to access, to rectify, to object, to restriction of processing, to data portability in some situations and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority or the Data Protection Commission of Ireland.
