Who We Are

We are the data controller responsible for your personal information. We operate this website and provide information about cycling routes in the Ballyhoura region of Limerick, including the Old Creamery Road and Dairy Pasture cycling loops and the Kilfinane village routes designed for retirees. When you interact with our website, you're providing information to us, and we take the protection of that information seriously. We comply with applicable data protection regulations and maintain appropriate safeguards for your personal data.

Information We Collect

We collect different types of information depending on how you interact with our website. This includes information you voluntarily provide, such as your name and email address if you contact us through contact forms or subscribe to updates. We also automatically collect technical information when you visit our site, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and the time and date of your visits.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal information based on several legal grounds. When you provide consent by filling out a contact form or subscribing to our newsletter, we rely on your explicit consent. We also process data based on our legitimate interests in improving our website, understanding user behavior, and providing you with relevant information about cycling routes and services. Where required by law, such as responding to legal requests, we process data as a legal obligation. We never process your data without a valid legal basis, and we only collect information that is necessary for the purposes stated in this policy.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide and improve our services, respond to your inquiries and requests, send you updates about cycling routes and events if you've opted in, and analyze website usage to enhance user experience. Your data helps us personalize content and ensure our website functions properly. We may use your information to contact you about important updates to our policies or services. We also use aggregated and anonymized data for statistical analysis and research purposes. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. Any third parties we work with, such as hosting providers or email services, are bound by confidentiality agreements and only process data as necessary to provide their services.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Contact form submissions and inquiry messages are retained for up to 24 months from your last interaction with us, allowing us to respond to follow-up questions and maintain communication records. Analytics and cookie data are retained for up to 12 months to understand website usage patterns and improve our services. Server logs containing technical information are retained for up to 12 months for security and troubleshooting purposes. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we retain your email address until you unsubscribe. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it. You may request deletion of your data at any time, subject to legal obligations to retain certain information.

Your Rights

You have several rights regarding your personal information. You can request access to the data we hold about you and receive a copy in a structured format. You have the right to correct inaccurate or incomplete information. You can request deletion of your data, though we may retain some information if required by law or for legitimate business purposes. You have the right to restrict how we process your information and to object to certain types of processing. You can withdraw your consent at any time if you've given it for specific purposes.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and analyze how visitors interact with our website. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and understand user behavior. We use essential cookies necessary for website functionality and optional analytics cookies that help us improve our services. You can control cookie settings through your browser and opt out of certain tracking. Third-party services we use, such as analytics providers, may also set cookies on your device. For detailed information about cookies used on our website, please refer to our separate Cookie Policy. Your browser settings allow you to accept or reject cookies, though disabling them may affect your experience on our website.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website uses secure transmission protocols, including HTTPS encryption, to protect data in transit. We maintain secure servers with restricted access and regular security updates. Our staff are trained in data protection practices and handle your information confidentially. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use strong passwords and protect your login credentials. If you believe your data has been compromised, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action.

Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external websites and resources that we do not control. This Privacy Policy applies only to our website and our information practices. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit through links on our website before providing your personal information. Linking to external websites does not imply endorsement of their content or practices. You access third-party sites at your own risk, and we recommend reading their privacy policies to understand how they handle your data.

Children's Privacy

Our website is designed for a general audience and is not intentionally directed to children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without parental consent. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete such information promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided information to us are encouraged to contact us immediately. We encourage parents to supervise their children's online activities and discuss privacy and security with them. Our website is particularly designed for retirees interested in cycling routes, but we respect privacy rights of all users regardless of age.

Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your information. If we make material changes that significantly affect how we handle your data, we will notify you by email or through a prominent notice on our website. Your continued use of our website following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree with the updated policy, you may choose not to use our website.

Supervisory Authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority if you believe we have violated your privacy rights. In Ireland, the supervisory authority is the Data Protection Commission (DPC). You can contact the DPC if you have concerns about our data processing practices or if you believe we have not complied with applicable data protection laws. Filing a complaint does not affect your other rights and remedies. We encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns directly and resolve any issues promptly. We take all complaints seriously and will cooperate fully with any investigation by the supervisory authority.
