General Data Protection Regulation

About this Policy:

This Policy explains when and why we collect personal information about our customers and suppliers, how we use it and how we keep it secure and your rights in relation to it.

We may collect, use and store your personal data, as described in the Data Privacy Policy and as described when we collect data from you.

We reserve the right to amend this Data Policy from time to time without prior notice. You are advised to check our website (www.wislonsofwestwicklow.ie) regularly for any amendments (but amendments will not be made retrospectively).

We will always comply with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) when dealing with your personal data. Further details on the GDPR can be found at the website for the Information Commissioner (www.dataprotection.ie). For the purposes of the GDPR, we will be the ‘controller’ of all the personal data we hold about you.

What information we may collect and why:

  • Contact information including job title, address, email address. 

  • For entering into and provision of services and managing financial transactions.

  • Internal record keeping.

  • We may use the information to improve our products and services

How we protect your data:

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access, misuse, loss or disclosure, we have put in place the following:

  • We have implemented suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures, technology and operational security.

  • We will not transfer your personal data outside the EU without your consent.

  • Any payments we take from you online, we will use a recognised online secure payment system.

  • We will notify you promptly in the event of any breach of your personal data which might expose you to serious risk.

Where you are transmitting information to us over the internet this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Who else has access to the information you provide us?

  • We will never sell your personal data or share your personal data with any third parties without your prior consent (which you are free to withhold), except where we are required to do so by law or as set out as above or below.

How long do we keep your information?

  • We will hold your personal data on our systems for 2 years

  • We will regularly review your data to establish whether we are still entitled to process it. If it is determined that we are not entitled to do so, we will stop processing your personal data except that we will retain your personal data in an archived form in order to be able to comply with future legal obligations e.g. compliance with VAT requirements and the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

  • We will destroy all financial information once we have used it and no longer need it and it is no longer required for legal obligations.

  1. To access your personal data

  3. To have your personal data corrected
