Your Rights and Choices

We believe you have fundamental rights regarding your personal information. You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal data at any time. You can also opt out of marketing communications while continuing to receive essential service notifications about your workshops and tutorials. If you wish to exercise these rights or have concerns about how we handle your information, please contact us directly using the details below. We will respond to all requests within thirty days and ensure your choices are respected throughout your relationship with us.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and understand how you interact with our platform. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences, login information, and tutorial progress. We use both essential cookies required for basic functionality and optional cookies for analytics and personalization. You can control cookie settings through your browser, though disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to access certain features. We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information and always prioritize your privacy when implementing tracking technologies.

Data Security and Protection

We take data security seriously and implement industry-standard measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Our website uses encryption technology to secure sensitive data during transmission. We maintain strict access controls and only allow authorized personnel to handle personal information. However, no online system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection. We regularly update our security practices to address emerging threats and maintain compliance with data protection regulations applicable to our Galway-based operations.

Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in delivering our services, such as web hosting providers, analytics services, and payment processors. These partners are bound by confidentiality agreements and may only use your information for purposes we specify. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and safety. Any third-party sharing is done transparently, and you can contact us to learn more about how your data is handled by our partners.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make significant changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by sending you a direct notification. Your continued use of our services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy. If you have questions about any changes, please don't hesitate to contact us.
