This policy covers this website and the information you submit through its forms. It does not cover external websites we link to.

We only collect personal information that you choose to give us through our contact and volunteer forms, or when you email or call us. We do not ask for health information or other special category data, and we ask that you do not include it in messages.

The contact form collects your full name, email address, subject, inquiry category and message. This is used only to read and respond to your inquiry.

The volunteer form collects your full name, email address, area of interest and message, and optionally your telephone number, relevant experience and availability. This is used only to respond to your interest in volunteering. Submitting the form does not create any volunteering arrangement.

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically process technical information such as IP addresses, browser type and the pages requested, in order to deliver the website securely and protect it from abuse. We do not use this information to identify individual visitors.

This website does not set advertising or analytics cookies. Please see our Cookie Policy for details, including information about web fonts loaded from Google Fonts.

We process personal information to respond to inquiries, to discuss volunteering or community engagement, to keep the website secure, and to meet any legal obligations.

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Acts, we rely on our legitimate interests in responding to people who contact us, and on your consent where you confirm you have read this notice before submitting a form. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.

We do not sell or share your information for marketing. Form submissions are stored using the website's hosting and database service provider, which processes data on our behalf. We may disclose information where required by law.

Some of our technical service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where this happens, we expect appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to be in place.

We keep inquiry information only for as long as needed to deal with your inquiry and any follow-up, after which it is deleted. You can ask us to delete it sooner.

Form submissions are sent over an encrypted connection and stored in a database that is not publicly readable. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.

You have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@selijavides.org or +353 91 766 777. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the Data Protection Commission, Ireland's supervisory authority (www.dataprotection.ie).

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from children through our forms.

Our website links to external sites such as the HSE. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices. The current version will always be available on this page.
