Local Trades Ireland is run by the team that operates this website. Local Trades Ireland is the name of the site, not a company registered in Ireland. Questions about your information go to hello@localtradesireland.com.
The catalogue and your messages
Profiles show details that businesses have already published, which can include a trading name and a phone number. When that identifies a person, it is personal information. If you write to us, we use your name, email, phone and message to reply, and to correct or remove a listing when you ask. We do not sell those messages. How listings are put together is explained on data sources.
Why visits are counted
Visits and clicks are counted by this website so we can see how the catalogue is used and improve it. The record is not used for advertising. We do not try to recognise you on other websites, and we do not share these visit records with anyone else. Your browser is not given a statistics cookie.
What a visit record contains
We keep the pages you open, the address of the site you came from, and the type of device and browser. Clicks are stored as the page and the kind of control, such as a trade, a town, or a phone button. We do not store the words you type, phone numbers, email addresses, business names, or order details. We also keep your full IP address and the city worked out from that address.
How long it is kept
Original visit records are kept for at most 25 months. Email we exchange with you is kept while it is still needed to handle the request.
Stop statistics
You can leave this browser out of visit statistics. The choice is stored in this browser so it is remembered. It is not used to count visits.
Statistics are stopped on this browser. Reload the page and visits from it are not counted.
Hosting
The website is hosted by Cloudflare, which also delivers the pages through its network.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to hello@localtradesireland.com. You can also complain to the Data Protection Commission, the Irish authority for this kind of information.
