Privacy policy

Who operates this site

This website (riverslaney.com) is operated by River Slaney Technology Services, based in Ireland.

Contact: iain@riverslaney.com

What personal data we collect

We only collect personal data when there is a clear reason (for example you contact us or use features that require it).

• Contact form: name, email address and message content.
• Technical logs: standard server logs such as IP address, browser type, pages visited and timestamps.
• Analytics: we do not run third-party advertising trackers on this site by default. If we enable analytics cookies later, our cookie policy will describe them.

How we use contact form data

Messages are stored securely on our server (database on the same hosting environment as the website) and emailed to our team so we can reply.

We use the details solely to respond to your enquiry unless we agree otherwise with you.

Legal bases (GDPR)

Where GDPR applies, we rely on:

• Legitimate interests to operate this website securely and reply to enquiries.
• Consent where we ask for it explicitly (for example optional cookies).

Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies may be used so forms work securely (for example session cookies linked to spam protection).

See our cookie policy for detail.

Processors and service providers

Hosting and email delivery depend on infrastructure providers (for example our web hosting provider). They process data only as needed to deliver the service.

Retention

Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to respond and maintain ordinary business records, typically up to two years unless law requires longer.

Server logs are rotated automatically according to hosting defaults unless longer retention is justified for security.

Your rights

Under GDPR you may request access, correction or deletion where applicable, object to processing or ask us to restrict processing.

To exercise rights, email iain@riverslaney.com. You may also complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission.

International transfers

Where processors host data outside the EEA we rely on approved safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

Changes

We update this policy when our practices change. Material updates will be reflected with a revised date.
