Information Security

The security of your personal data is important to us. While we follow generally accepted security standards to safeguard the information submitted to us, it is not possible to guarantee its security or integrity on the internet. Therefore, we encourage you to take precautions to protect your personal data, including protecting your passwords, using secure networks to access the internet, and logging out of online services when you are away from your device.

Overseas Transfers

We may transfer, store, or process your personal information in locations outside the Republic of Ireland and the European Economic Area (EEA). Where the countries to which your personal information is transferred do not offer an equivalent level of protection for personal information to the laws of Ireland, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are put in place.

We’ll use one of these safeguards:

  • Transfer it to a non-EEA country that has received an adequacy decision from the European Commission. This means that country has privacy laws that give the same protection as within the EEA.
  • Put in place the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses with the recipient. This means that they must protect it to the same standards as organisations within the EEA.
  • Transfer it to organisations that have implemented binding corporate rules, which have been approved by an EU supervisory authority.

If the Data Controller sells any part of its business and/or integrates it with another organisation your details may be disclosed to their advisers and to approved purchasers or joint venture partners and their advisers. If this occurs the new owners of the business will only be permitted to use your information in the same or similar way as set out in this privacy notice.

We may disclose your personal data when we believe, in good faith, that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud or personal injury claims, comply with the law, including valid legal requests from the Garda Síochána and other government agencies.

We will also disclose your personal data where we use third party service providers who process personal information on our behalf in order to provide services to us. This includes IT systems providers and IT contractors, as well as third party referencing or screening agencies for the purposes of the prevention and detection of crime.
