Ceart Digital Ltd ("Ceart Digital", "we", "us", "our") is a digital media and marketing company based in Ireland. We operate a network of digital assets and provide services including web design, digital advertising, social media management, SEO, content strategy, and digital asset brokerage. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data when you interact with our website or services.

We collect information you provide directly to us, including your name, company name, email address, phone number, and any details you share when submitting an enquiry or entering into a service agreement with us. We also collect technical data automatically when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs. This technical data is collected via cookies and analytics tools including Google Analytics.

We use your personal data to respond to enquiries and provide the services you have requested, to manage our business relationship with you, to send service-related communications, to improve our website and services based on usage patterns, to comply with our legal obligations, and to protect our legitimate business interests. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

We process your personal data on the following legal grounds under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): performance of a contract where processing is necessary to provide our services to you; legitimate interests where processing is necessary for our reasonable business purposes such as improving our services and communicating with prospective clients; compliance with a legal obligation where processing is required by law; and consent where you have explicitly agreed to a specific use of your data such as marketing communications.

Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience and to collect analytics data. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. Google Analytics collects data such as your IP address, browser, device, and pages visited. This data is anonymised where possible and is governed by Google's own privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our business, such as email delivery services, CRM platforms, and analytics providers. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and may only use it for the purposes we specify. We may also disclose your data where required by law, court order, or regulatory authority.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Enquiry data is typically retained for up to 24 months. Client data is retained for the duration of the business relationship and for a period of six years thereafter in accordance with Irish tax and business record requirements. Analytics data is retained in accordance with our Google Analytics settings, typically set to 26 months.

Some of the third party services we use may transfer your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, to protect your data in accordance with GDPR requirements. Google Analytics data may be processed in the United States under Google's standard contractual clauses.

Under GDPR, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, to request deletion of your data where there is no lawful basis for continued processing, to object to or restrict certain processing activities, to request portability of your data in a structured and machine-readable format, and to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@ceartdigital.ie. We will respond within 30 days.

We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. These measures include encrypted data transmission via HTTPS, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our website and services are not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child, please contact us immediately at hello@ceartdigital.ie and we will take steps to delete that data promptly.

Our website may contain links to third party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party sites you visit. The inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of that site or its privacy practices.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Where changes are material, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you. The date at the top of this page will always reflect when the policy was last updated. Your continued use of our website or services after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, please contact us at hello@ceartdigital.ie. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission (DPC), Ireland's supervisory authority for data protection.
