For the personal data covered by this Policy, Drive Investment Funds Plc is the data controller. Savills Commercial (Ireland) Limited acts as property manager and processes personal data on the controller’s behalf where it does so under the controller’s instructions.
In this Policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Drive Investment Funds Plc. “You” means a visitor to this website and/or Northside Shopping Centre.
For general privacy queries, contact Northside Shopping Centre, Oscar Traynor Road, Dublin 17; telephone 01 8486049; or email northsideshoppingcentre@savillspm.ie.
Northside Shopping Centre does not have a designated Data Protection Officer. To exercise any data-protection right, including making a subject access request, email complianceteam@savills.ie. The Centre will forward rights requests received through other channels to that team for handling.
Definitions
“Personal Data” is any information that can identify an individual directly or indirectly, such as a name, email address, phone number, or video footage.
“Special Category Data” is a more sensitive personal data under the GDPR and includes data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic or biometric data (for identification), health data, and data concerning a person’s sex life or sexual orientation.
How We Collect Personal Data
You can visit our website and Northside Shopping Centre without actively providing personal data. We collect and process personal data when you interact with us or where your visit creates information necessary to operate, secure or manage the Centre.
Depending on the context, we collect your name, contact details, competition-entry information, correspondence, CCTV footage, incident or accident details, website-usage data, IP address, browser and device information, and cookie identifiers.
We do not routinely seek special-category data. Limited health or other special-category data may arise in an accident, incident or claim record. Where this occurs, we process it only where necessary, with appropriate safeguards, to meet a relevant legal obligation or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
How and Why We Use Personal Data
We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, these include keeping the Centre safe and secure, preventing crime and fraud, operating the Centre effectively, managing claims and improving services. We balance these interests against your rights and freedoms.
You can withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. You can object to direct marketing at any time, and we will stop using your personal data for that purpose.
Use of Children’s Information
Children may be captured by CCTV when visiting the Centre. CCTV is used for security, safety, incident management and crime prevention. Access is restricted to authorised personnel.
Where we organise a promotional event or competition involving children and intend to use identifiable photographs or video for marketing, we will obtain appropriate consent from a parent or legal guardian before that use. Consent can be withdrawn by contacting us.
If a children’s club, child-focused competition or other child-registration activity is offered, the relevant event or registration notice will explain the information collected, purpose, parental-authority checks, retention period and marketing choices.
Storage of Personal Data
We shall retain the Personal Data collected only for as long as necessary to provide the products and services you have requested, or for other essential purposes such as complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Key retention periods include:
The retention period may be longer than the period for which we are providing services to you where we have statutory or regulatory obligations to retain personal data for a longer period, or where we may need to retain the information in case of a legal claim.
Information Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including encryption, access controls, staff training and contractual controls with service providers. However, as no system is entirely secure, we encourage you to take precautions to protect your personal data, including protecting your passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication, using secure networks to access the internet, and logging out of online services when you are away from your device.
International Transfers
Some service providers may process personal data outside Ireland or the European Economic Area (EEA). Where a transfer occurs, we will use a valid transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards, such as an adequacy decision, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or binding corporate rules.
Contact us if you require further information about the safeguards applicable to a transfer.
Sharing Personal Data
We share personal data only where necessary for the purposes described in this Policy or where law permits or requires disclosure.
Service providers acting as processors must process personal data only on documented instructions and protect it appropriately. We do not sell personal data. We do not permit third parties to use personal data for their own direct marketing without an appropriate lawful basis and the required information and choices.
This website may contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
To exercise a right or make a subject access request, email complianceteam@savills.ie. We will verify your identity before acting on a request where necessary.
