Is providing personal data mandatory?

Most of our services do not require any form of registration, allowing you to visit our site without you telling us who you are. However, some services may require you to provide personal data. In such situations, if you choose to withhold any personal data which is requested by us, it may not be possible for us to contact you in response to your query or provide information which you wish to request.

On the website of Tricel Killarney users have the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter gets ordered from the controller.

A confirmation e-mail is sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to confirm the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject and is authorised to receive the newsletter.

During the registration process for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system as assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, along with the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary to discern the (possible) mistreatment of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later stage. Therefore, it serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.

For retraction of consent, a corresponding link (‘unsubscribe’) is included in each newsletter sent, follow this link to instigate the process of removing consent. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or if preferable, you can communicate this requirement to the controller in a different way which is personally more suitable.

 

Transferring and storing your data

 

The data which we collect from you may at times be transferred to, and stored at, a destination internationally or outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). This data may also require processing by staff operating outside the EEA who work for one of our suppliers or us. Such staff maybe engaged in the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services among other things. By submitting your data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is kept secure as outlined in this privacy policy.

All information provided to us by a given data subject is then stored on our secure servers. All payment transactions are encrypted using SSL technology.

Legal basis for processing data

 

During a user’s registration, or later on the platform, they may provide information such as name, company name, email address, telephone, credit card number, and other relevant data. This information is used to identify the user and to provide them with support services, mailings, sales and marketing actions, billing and to meet any contractual obligations.

Such as in a situation where the processing of personal data is essential for a contract to be executed in which the data subject is a party, for example, when processing operations are required for the supply of goods or to provide any other service.

The same applies to processing operations essential for carrying out any pre-contractual measures. An example of such an instance is when a data subject is making queries and enquiries about our services and products. Or, in cases where our company is subject to a legal obligation in which the processing of personal data is required (an example would be the fulfilment of tax obligations).

Processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:

  1. The data subject has given consent to the processing of their data for one or more specific purposes.
  2. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or to take steps at the request of the data subject before entering into a contract.
  3. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
  4. Processing is needed to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
  5. Processing is required for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
  6. Processing is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

 

The period for which your personal data is stored

 

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal information is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of that period, the corresponding data is deleted routinely, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of the said contract.

If you wish to request that we cease to use your registration information to provide you services contact us at watersales@tricel.ie. We will retain and use your registration information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
