Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Kiely PR collects, uses and protects personal data when you visit kielypr.com, contact us or use our services. We are committed to handling your data fairly, lawfully and transparently under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Acts 1988 to 2018.

This website is operated by Kiely PR & Content, which is the data controller for personal data collected through it.

Address: Wicklow Office Suites, A10 Network Enterprise Park, Kilcoole, Co. Wicklow, Ireland, A63 RK23.

What data we collect

Information you give us. When you fill in a form, book a call or email us, we collect your name, work email, company name, website, role and anything else you choose to share, such as your sector, markets, competitors and the questions your buyers ask.

Information collected automatically. With your consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the site. This includes pages viewed, time on site, approximate location, device and browser type, and how you arrived. We do not use this to identify you personally.

Information from bookings. If you book a call through Calendly, we receive the details you enter there, such as your name, email and preferred time.

How and why we use it

We use your data to respond to enquiries, deliver audits and services you request, arrange and hold calls, send information you have asked for, improve our website and meet our legal and accounting obligations.

Our legal bases are your consent (for analytics cookies and optional marketing), steps taken at your request before entering a contract, the performance of a contract with you, our legitimate interest in running and improving our business, and compliance with legal obligations.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with trusted providers who help us run our business, under contracts that protect your data. These include Squarespace (website hosting and forms), Google (Google Analytics and Google Workspace email), and Calendly (meeting bookings). We may also share data where the law requires it.

International transfers

Some of our providers are based outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where data is transferred, we rely on safeguards approved under GDPR, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiry and audit details for up to 24 months after our last contact unless you become a client. Client records are kept for as long as needed to deliver our services and for up to seven years afterwards to meet tax and legal requirements. Analytics data is kept for 14 months.

Your rights

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to how we use it, to data portability and to withdraw consent at any time. To use any of these rights, email gerard@kielypr.com. We will respond within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Data Protection Commission in Ireland at dataprotection.ie. We would welcome the chance to resolve your concern first.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including secure hosting, encrypted connections and restricted access.

Cookies

For details of the cookies we use and how to manage them, please read our Cookie Policy.
