Privacy Policy

Introduction

Ronan Conway is committed to preserving the privacy of all visitors to ronanconway.ie. This privacy statement relates to my practices in connection with my website and is designed to help you understand how I collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide to me, and to help you make informed decisions when using my site and my services.

I fully respect your right to privacy. I will not collect personal information or personal data about you when you visit my website unless you choose to provide that information using a website form.

By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of your information under the terms of this privacy statement, which is in accordance with the Data Protection Acts 1988 to 2018, the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011 and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Please read the following to understand how I use and protect the information that you choose to provide.

What information do I collect?

When you visit my website you may provide me with two types of information:

• Personal information you knowingly choose to disclose, collected on an individual basis.
• Statistical website use information, collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse my website. All IP addresses are anonymised, which means that data cannot be associated with any website visitor, ensuring your privacy.

Information you choose to provide

When you visit my website you may wish to provide certain information about yourself, such as when you complete a website form (for example the message form). I do not collect any personal data about you on this website apart from the information you volunteer in a website form.

Website use information

When you visit my website, certain non-personal data is available to me through my internet service provider. This non-personal data is collected on a statistical, aggregate, non-individual basis. It may include the type of internet browser and operating system used to access my website, the top-level domain name used (for example .com or .org), the date and time of your visit and the number of pages you visited.

How do I use the information you provide?

Any information you provide using the message form is not made available to any third parties and is only used by me for the purposes for which you provided it: for example, to contact you and answer any queries you have raised, or to address any other feedback you send me.

Disclosure to other people

I do not disclose, sell or distribute any personal information you send me to any third parties. I may pass aggregate information on the usage of my site to third parties, but this will not include information that can be used to identify you. Your personal data may also be anonymised and used for statistical purposes. Unless required to do so by law, I will not otherwise share, sell or distribute any of the information you provide without your consent.

Security

I employ security measures to protect your information from access by unauthorised persons and to guard against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage, and I will do my best to ensure that all records I hold remain secure in line with my obligations under the Data Protection Acts 1988 to 2018. I take my security responsibilities seriously, use appropriate physical and technical measures and review my security procedures regularly.

Retention

I do not retain your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purpose for which you gave it. Any personal data you provide through this website is used for the purpose you provided it for (for example, to contact you and answer your query) and, once that purpose has been completed, I will delete it.

Accessing your information

You are entitled to see the information I hold about you. On written request, I will supply copies of the personal data you have supplied through my website. To request a copy, email ronan@ronanconway.ie and ask for an Access Request Form. Your request will be dealt with as soon as possible and will not take more than a month to process. If you find that I hold inaccurate information about you, you can ask me to correct or delete it.

Websites linked to my website

My website may, from time to time, contain links to and from third-party websites. I am not responsible for the practices of websites linked to or from my website, nor for their content. Links to other websites are provided solely as pointers to information that may be useful to visitors.

When you follow a link from my website to another website, this privacy policy no longer applies. Your browsing and interaction on any other website is subject to that website's own rules and policies. Please read them before proceeding.

By using my website you consent to my collection and use of your personal information as described in this privacy policy. If I change my privacy policies and procedures, I will post those changes here.
