At IFS Ireland, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you share with us in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What data we collect
When you subscribe to our mailing list, we collect and store only the details you provide (such as your name, email address, and event interests). If you register for a workshop or training, we may also collect additional information necessary for event administration.
How we use your data
We use your information only for the purposes you consented to, such as:
- Sending updates about our workshops, trainings, and related activities
- Sharing practical information about events you have registered for
- Improving our communication and services
We will only share personal data such as name and email address with IFS UK and IFS Institute for the purpose of IFS Institutes’ official trainings run by IFS UK in Ireland. IFS UK and IFS Institute are based outside Ireland so processing your data will involve a transfer of data outside of Ireland. IFS UK and IFS Institute each have their own privacy policy.
We will never sell your data or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.
Legal basis for processing
Our legal basis for processing your personal data is your explicit consent (for email updates) and, where applicable, our legitimate interest in administering events you register for.
How long we keep your data
We will keep your information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, or until you withdraw your consent.
Your rights
Under GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request corrections or updates to your information
- Withdraw your consent or unsubscribe at any time
- Request deletion of your personal data
You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link in the footer of our emails. To exercise any of your rights, please contact us at ifsireland1@gmail.com.
Data storage
We use trusted service providers (such as Mailchimp) to securely process and store your data in accordance with GDPR requirements.
