About this policy
This policy explains how David Clancy handles personal information when you use this website or make an enquiry. David Clancy is responsible for the personal information covered by this policy. For privacy questions or requests, please contact David Clancy through the website’s Contact page.
Information collected
When you get in touch, the information you provide may include your name, email address, telephone number, organisation and the contents of your message. Website and security systems may also collect technical information, such as your IP address, browser type and access logs, to operate and protect the website.
Providing enquiry information is voluntary, but sufficient contact details are needed to respond. Please avoid including confidential information about other people or sensitive personal information in your message.
How information is used
Personal information is used to respond to enquiries, discuss potential work, manage professional communications and keep the website secure. These activities rely on legitimate interests in communicating with people who contact David Clancy, running his professional activities and protecting the website, taking account of your rights and expectations.
Where you request steps towards a contract with David Clancy, or are a party to a contract, relevant information may be processed to take those steps or perform that contract. Information may also be retained or disclosed where required by law. Where consent is the appropriate basis, it will be requested separately.
Who may receive information
Information may be shared with providers supporting website hosting, contact forms, email and IT services, where needed to deliver those services. Professional advisers or public authorities may receive information where necessary for legal obligations or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Access is limited to what is needed for the relevant purpose.
International processing
Some service providers may process information outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, transfers are made under an applicable adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards, such as approved contractual clauses. You can request details of the relevant arrangements and safeguards through the Contact page.
How long information is kept
Information is kept for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected. This takes account of whether an enquiry remains active, any ongoing professional relationship, applicable recordkeeping duties and the need to establish or defend legal claims. Information is then securely deleted or anonymised.
Cookies and analytics
The website may use technologies needed for its operation and security. If analytics or other optional tracking is introduced, information about the tools, their purposes and duration will be provided. Where consent is required, optional tracking will only operate after you agree, and a way to withdraw that consent will be provided.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you can request access to your personal information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing or a portable copy. You can object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.
Please use the Contact page to make a request. You also have the right to complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission at www.dataprotection.ie, or to another competent data protection authority.
Security and external links
Appropriate technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. No internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. Other websites linked from this site have their own privacy practices; please review their policies when visiting them.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated to reflect changes to the website, services or legal requirements. The latest version will be published here with its updated date.
