Privacy Policy

This is the privacy policy of Sean Taylor (“I”, “me, or “my”).

I am committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This statement relates to my privacy practises in connection with this website. While I may link to external websites, I am not responsible for the content or privacy practices on those sites. If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy notice or my practices with regard to your personal information, please contact me at seanbtaylor@gmail.com

I fully respect your right to privacy, and will not collect any personal information about you on this website without your clear permission. Any personal information which you volunteer to me will be treated with the highest standards of security and confidentiality, strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Acts 1988-2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

What is the GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 is a regulation on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union. It came into force across the European Union on 25 May 2018. It replaces the previous data protection directive which has been in force since 1995 and forms the basis of our new Data Protection Irish laws (Data Protection Acts 1988-2018).

What information do I collect?

I do not collect any personal data about you on this website, apart from information which you volunteer (for example by emailing me or by using my online contact form). Any personal information which you provide in this way is not made available to any third parties, save as required by law, and is used by me only in line with the purpose for which you provided it. You should also note that any personal information which you provide to me by way of completing a form or provide in another format for any of the services I administer will only be used by me for the purpose(s) for which you provided it.

Collection and use of technical information

Technical details in connection with visits to this website are logged by our internet service provider for my statistical purposes. No information is collected that could be used by me to identify website visitors. The technical details logged are confined to the following items:

  • the IP address of the visitor’s web server;
  • the top-level domain name used (for example .ie, .com, .org, .net);
  • clickstream data which shows the traffic of visitors around this web site (for example pages accessed and documents downloaded);
  • the type of web browser used by the website visitor;
  • the version of the operating system used by the visitor.

I will make no attempt to identify individual visitors, or to associate the technical details listed above with any individual. It is my policy never to disclose such technical information in respect of individual website visitors to any third party (apart from my internet service provider, which records such data on my behalf and which is bound by confidentiality provisions in this regard), unless obliged to disclose such information by a rule of law. The technical information will be used only by me, and only for statistical and other administrative purposes. You should note that technical details, which I cannot associate with any identifiable individual, do not constitute "personal data" for the purposes of the Data Protection Acts 1988-2018.

How do I use your information?

I use your information in the following ways:

  • To analyse trends, administer or optimise the website, monitor usage or traffic patterns and gather demographic information about my user base as a whole;
  • To process your enquiries made through the contact form on the site;
  • In the manner described to you at the time of collection or as otherwise described in this Privacy Statement.
How long do I store your data for?

I only store your information for as long as necessary for the purposes of processing set out in this statement.

Personal data is not transferred to, or stored in, any location outside of the European Economic Area.

What are your rights?

Under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have a number of rights with respect to your personal data, subject to any exemptions provided by the law, including the rights to:

  • Request access to your personal data;
  • Request correction or deletion of your personal data;
  • Object to my use and processing of your personal data;
  • Request that I limit my use and processing of your personal data; and
  • Request portability of your personal data.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights please contact me using the details below.

Security on this website

While no online service is 100% secure, I work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorised access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so, such as monitoring my website for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.

Other measures include ensuring that all pages are served over SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), and all emails generated on the site use TLS (Transport Layer Security).

Changes to my Privacy statement

If in the future I make any changes to my privacy statement, the latest version of my statement will be posted on my website.
