Privacy & Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 2025
EZ Media Ireland (“we”, “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website, in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Irish law.
1. Who we are
EZ Media Ireland is a web design studio. For the purposes of data protection, we are the data controller. You can contact us via the contact form on our website or at the details provided there.
2. What data we collect
We may collect and process:
- Contact and enquiry data: name, email address, and message content when you submit our contact form.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, and general usage information (e.g. pages visited) where we use analytics, only if you have given consent for optional cookies.
- Cookie data: as described in the Cookies section below.
3. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies as follows:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the site to function (e.g. remembering your cookie consent choice, security). These do not require your consent under GDPR.
- Optional / non-essential cookies: Analytics, preference, or marketing cookies. We only set these if you click “Accept” in our cookie banner. If you click “Deny”, we do not set optional cookies.
You can change your mind at any time by clearing site data or cookies for this site in your browser, after which the consent banner will appear again on your next visit.
4. How we use your data
We use your data to:
- Respond to your enquiries and provide our services.
- Run and improve our website (e.g. analytics, only with consent).
- Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
5. Legal basis (GDPR)
- Contract: Processing necessary to respond to your request or perform a contract with you.
- Consent: For optional cookies and any marketing communications you have agreed to.
- Legitimate interests: To operate and improve our website and business, where this does not override your rights.
- Legal obligation: Where we must retain or disclose data by law.
6. How long we keep your data
We keep contact form data for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any follow-up, and for a reasonable period for legal and business purposes. Cookie and analytics data are retained only as long as necessary for the purpose (e.g. session or as set by the tool). You can ask us to delete your data earlier (see Your rights below).
7. Your rights (GDPR)
You have the right to:
- Access your personal data and receive a copy.
- Rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure (“right to be forgotten”) in certain circumstances.
- Restrict processing in certain circumstances.
- Data portability where processing is by automated means and based on consent or contract.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent (e.g. optional cookies).
To exercise these rights, contact us using the details on our website. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; in Ireland this is the Data Protection Commission.
8. Security and international transfer
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. If we use services that process data outside the European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions) are in place.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will be revised, and we encourage you to review this page periodically.
10. Contact
For any questions about this policy or your personal data, please use our contact form or the contact details provided on our website.
