1. Our Approach to Privacy

At playinireland.com, we believe privacy is more than a legal requirement — it’s the foundation of trust.
When you visit our website, you should feel confident that your information is handled responsibly and with care.
This Privacy Policy explains, in clear language, what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Irish data protection law, ensuring your rights are fully recognised and protected.
Our goal is to go beyond compliance — keeping your data safe and your experience transparent, secure, and worry-free.

2. Who Manages Your Data

The responsibility for managing your data lies with playinireland.com, headquartered in Ireland.
We act as the data controller, which means we determine how and why personal information collected through our website is processed.
As a controller, we take our duty seriously — to process information fairly, protect it from misuse, and ensure you have full access to your privacy rights.
Safeguarding your data is a core part of our promise to our visitors.

3. Information You Share and We Gather

When you visit playinireland.com, some information is automatically collected to keep the site running smoothly.
This may include details like your browser type, device model, IP address, referral source, and pages visited.
We use this data to ensure our platform performs correctly, remains secure, and improves over time.
If you contact us directly — for example, through email or a contact form — we may collect your name, email address, or any details you choose to share.

4. Why We Collect Data

The data we collect helps us provide a reliable and user-friendly experience.
It ensures our website remains secure, loads properly, and functions across different devices.
By analysing anonymised usage data, we can improve our content and identify what’s most useful to visitors.
If you reach out to us, we use your details solely to respond to your query.
With your consent, we may also share updates, insights, or resources that could be relevant to your interests.
In certain cases, we may process information as required by law, ensuring full compliance with Irish and EU regulations.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help websites function more efficiently and provide a better browsing experience.
At playinireland.com, we use cookies and similar tracking tools for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies: Required for the website to operate properly — for example, remembering your cookie preferences or keeping pages secure.
Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the site so we can improve speed, design, and usability.
Preference Cookies: Store your language, region, and other settings to tailor your experience.
Affiliate Cookies: Record when users click certain links to ensure transparency in how we collaborate with partners.

You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.
Disabling some types of cookies may affect how the site functions but will not prevent you from accessing our main content.
We never use cookies to collect sensitive data or track personal activity beyond our website

6. When Data Is Shared

Your personal data remains yours — and we respect that completely.
We do not sell, lease, or share your data for advertising purposes.
However, we may work with trusted third-party service providers — such as hosting partners, analytics tools, or technical support teams — to keep our platform functioning efficiently.
These partners receive only the information necessary to perform their duties and are bound by strict confidentiality and data protection agreements.
In rare cases, we may be legally required to share data with public authorities, but only when demanded by law.
Outside of these limited scenarios, your data stays private and secure with us.

7. How We Keep It Safe

We treat security as a top priority.
All data is stored on secure servers and transmitted using encrypted connections.
We employ strong security practices to prevent unauthorised access, alteration, or misuse.
We only retain data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes stated in this policy, and we regularly review our procedures to ensure ongoing protection.
All external services we use meet EU data protection standards, and your data will never be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) without appropriate safeguards.

8. Links Beyond Our Platform

As a comparison website, we often include links to third-party providers for informational purposes.
Once you leave playinireland.com, the privacy policies of those external sites apply.
We cannot control how third-party operators handle your data and therefore cannot accept responsibility for their practices.
We only reference licensed and regulated operators, and we encourage you to review each provider’s privacy notice before sharing any personal information.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Under the GDPR, you are in control of your data.
You have the right to:

Access the information we hold about you.
Request corrections to any inaccurate data.
Ask for deletion of your data where legally permitted.
Restrict or object to certain types of processing, such as analytics.
Withdraw consent for optional cookies or communications at any time.

Request a copy of your data in a structured, portable format.

10. Keeping This Policy Updated

Privacy standards and technologies evolve, and so do we.
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal requirements or improvements in our practices.
Any updates will appear on this page, along with a revised “last updated” date.
We recommend checking back periodically to stay informed about how your information is protected.
