​
We process your data to support the delivery of services you have bought. We keep records of the goods/services provided to you, and the information you give us, so we can support you when needed and advise you of any additional services you may need.
Financial and credit card details
We do not hold or store any of your personal credit card payment details as this is held by the credit card payment providers who process your credit card payments to us. For card payments taken over the phone, we destroy the card details once the transaction has been completed.
Online payments are processed via PayPal, Stripe or AIB Merchant Services.
We receive limited information from our processor for us to tie up your payment with your invoice.
If you pay us by BACS or direct transfer, we know only what the bank tells us, which is usually the name of the person who paid us and how much, and the reference number.
4. Marketing
We may use your Personal Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services, and offers may be relevant for you.
We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain Personal Data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. Where appropriate, you will be asked whether you wish to receive any marketing communications from us. You can unsubscribe from these emails at any time using the link provided in these communications.
5. Data sharing – 3rd parties
We do not sell or exchange your personal data with organisations that may want to sell you something or use your data for research or other purposes.
a. Platforms
We keep a list of the software platforms we use to run our business. If you would like more information on the platforms we use, please email us (at the email address in section 2, above).
We only work with processing partners who are able to ensure an adequate level of protection for your Personal Data. We disclose your Personal Data to third parties or public officials when we are legally obliged to do so. We might disclose your Personal Data to third parties if you have consented to it or if there are other legal grounds for it. In order to provide a robust and reliable service, we depend on a number of cloud service providers to carry out key operations within our business. This includes things like document storage, payment processing, email processing, marketing assistance, social media management, and website security.
b. People
We may outsource support teams for which may include Web Designers, IT support, Sales and Marketing, Accounting, and more. They will have limited access to your data, where the service they provide to us means they need it.
For example, if our IT support wants to check the functionality of a laptop or backup, they may need temporary access to information that may include something about you.
For example, if we invoice you, an Accountant needs to process the information in the invoice.
Your information/advice is held in the strictest confidence.
6. Where is your data located?
Like most small events, we do not have any tailor-made software – we use mainstream packages for everything from our customer records, to email, to accounting.
This means that some of your data may be held in the EEA, and some may be held in services in the USA (with suitable data privacy shields) or elsewhere. We have picked mainstream suppliers with appropriate security standards.
7.Retention periods
We have a documented data retention schedule. Generally, we will only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for and for up to two (2) years afterward or otherwise permitted by applicable laws. We may also retain your information during the period of time needed to complete our legitimate business operations, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:
-
Request information about whether we hold Personal Data about you, and, if so, what that Personal Data is and why we are holding/using it.
-
Request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a “Data Subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
-
Request correction of the Personal Data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.

You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
-
Object to processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.

Object to automated decision-making including profiling, that is not to be subject of any automated decision-making by us using your Personal Data or profiling of you.

-
Request transfer of your Personal Data in an electronic and structured form to you or to another party (commonly known as a right to “data portability”). This enables you to take your data from us in an electronically useable format and to be able to transfer your data to another party in an electronically useable format.
