2. What we do with the personal information we gather

We use this information to provide you with a better service and to ensure that our website is presented in the most efficient manner for you, and in particular for the following reasons:

  • For internal record keeping purposes
  • To improve our products and services
  • To provide you with information and promotional material about products, special offers or       other information which you request from us, or we think you may find interesting – this is   using the email address which you have provided and where you have consented to be  contacted for such purposes

We primarily process your personal data based on our legitimate interests but, in certain instances, we may process your personal data based on another legal basis where it is more appropriate to do so.  Our legal basis for processing your personal data include:

  • legitimate interest: we primarily process your personal data pursuant to our legitimate business interests, including, but not limited to internal record keeping purposes. You have a right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data on this ground and details on how to exercise your right to object are contained in section 8 of this Privacy Policy. When we process your personal data based on our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you and your data protection rights. We will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted by law).
  • entering into or performance of a contract: it may be necessary for us to process your personal data in order to enter into and perform a contract with you. If you do not provide your personal data for these purposes, we will not be able to perform our contract with you.
  • compliance with a legal obligation: it may be necessary for us to process your personal data in order to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject to under Irish and EU law.
  • legal claims: it may be necessary for us to process your personal data to establish, investigate, exercise, or defend a legal claim.

In certain limited circumstances, we may process your personal data based on your freely given consent. For example, when we send you promotional or direct marketing material, we do so on the basis of your consent. You can withdraw your processing consent at any time by contacting us on the details set out in section 8 of this Notice. In the case of direct marketing, we will ask you in each marketing communication whether you want to “unsubscribe” or “opt-out”. Please note that any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent will remain valid.

3. Security

We apply digital certificates to our official corporate websites to secure communications and also provide assurance that you are connected to approve resources. All our customer, supplier and accounts payable / accounts receivable functions all use Tirlán branded email addresses and never use 3rd party email addresses. We will treat all your queries in relation to potentially fraudulent activity with the highest urgency. We maintain in-house and external Information Security services to provide website security analysis and identify areas of website security improvement

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

4. Links to other websites

Our website may from time to time contain links that enable you to visit other websites of interest easily. However, once you follow a link to any of these websites, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by our Privacy Policy. Please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. You should exercise caution and check these policies before you submit any personal information to these websites.

5. Recipients of your personal information

We may share your personal data with:

  • External Third Parties: We may share information with the following external third parties:
    • Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, financial service providers, auditors and insurers who provide banking, financial, legal, insurance and accounting services to us.
    • Third party service providers such as accounting, administration, payment and customer relationship management service providers.
    • IT and technical service providers which provide IT and technical services.
    • Third party service providers such as payment service providers and customer relationship management service providers.
    • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets.
    • The competition/promotion supplier for the purposes of administering the competition/promotion.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

6. International transfers

To deliver the services set out in this Privacy Policy to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal data with other members of Tirlán Group and service providers who are located outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). We may transfer your personal data to another country outside the EEA if we are satisfied that the transfer complies with data protection law, appropriate safeguards and enforceable rights are in place.

The safeguard we use to facilitate these transfers is the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”). We either enter directly into SCCs with service providers or require our service providers to have the SCCs in place with any non-EEA based sub-processors of such service providers who receive your Personal Data. Tirlán Group has in place internal SCCs.

7. Retention of your personal information

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect of our relationship with you.

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, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

8. Controlling your personal information

You have a number of rights in relation to your personal data, which are set out below. Please note that in certain circumstances these rights may not be absolute. You have the:

  • right of access: you are entitled to receive a copy of your personal data which we hold. We will only charge you for such a request where we feel your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
  • right to rectification: you can request that we amend any inaccurate personal data that we have about you.
  • right to erasure: you can request us to erase the personal data we hold about you in certain circumstances.
  • right to restriction of processing: you can request that we restrict our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
  • right to data portability: you can request your personal data be provided to you in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and have your personal data transmitted to another controller in certain circumstances where it is technically feasible.
  • right to object: you can object at any time where we process your personal data on the legal basis of our legitimate interests or where we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes. Please note TIRLÁN does not engage in decision-making based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights or have any questions or concerns about how we use your personal information, please contact us at the above contact details.

We will provide you with information on any action taken upon your request in relation to any of these rights without undue delay and at the latest within one month of receiving your request. We may extend this up to 2 months if necessary; however, we will inform you if this arises. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity when you seek to exercise any of your data protection rights. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission.
