Introduction

This is the privacy notice of GOAT Sites. In this document “we”, “our”, or “us” refer to GOAT Sites. We are registered in Ireland.

This is a notice to inform you of our policy regarding the information that we record about you. It sets out the conditions under which we may process any information that we collect from you, or that you provide to us. It covers information that could identify you (“personal information”) and information that could not. In the context of the legislation and this notice, “process” means collect, store, transfer, use or otherwise act on information.

Our policy complies with the Data Protection Act 2018.  By visiting the website of the Data Controller, the Data Subject (“visitor”, “you”) accepts the terms of this privacy policy.  

We take seriously the protection of your privacy and confidentiality. We understand that all visitors to our website are entitled to know that their personal data will not be used for any purpose unintended by them.

The law requires us to tell you about your rights and our obligations to you regarding the processing and control of your personal data. We do this now, by requesting that you read the information provided at www.dataprotection.ie

Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any information collected through our website.

How long we retain your data
