2. Information we collect

• Enquiry information. Name, email address, phone number, company name, business type, the service you are interested in and anything you tell us in your message.
• Booking information. Where you book a consultation through our online calendar, the details you provide to that booking service.
• Client information. Where you become a client, the financial, tax, payroll and identity information required to provide our services and to meet our legal obligations.
• Technical information. Information collected automatically when you use this website, such as IP address, browser type, pages visited and referring source. See our Cookie Policy.

3. Why we use it, and our legal basis

• To respond to enquiries and provide quotations. Legal basis: steps taken at your request before entering a contract.
• To provide accounting, tax, payroll and advisory services. Legal basis: performance of our contract with you.
• To meet legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money-laundering identity checks, record retention and filings with Revenue and the Companies Registration Office. Legal basis: compliance with a legal obligation.
• To operate, secure and improve this website. Legal basis: our legitimate interests, or your consent where cookies require it.
• To send occasional updates about our services, where you have asked to receive them. Legal basis: consent. You can withdraw consent at any time.

4. Who we share information with

We do not sell personal information. We share it only where necessary, with:

• Revenue, the Companies Registration Office and other statutory bodies, where required to provide our services or to comply with the law
• Software and service providers who process data on our behalf under written agreements, including our accounting, payroll, booking and customer relationship management systems
• Professional advisers, and your other advisers where you instruct us to do so

5. International transfers

Some of our service providers may process information outside the European Economic Area. Where that happens we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as European Commission adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.

6. How long we keep it

Client records are retained for the period required by Irish tax, company and anti-money-laundering legislation, and for as long as needed to deal with any query arising from the work. Enquiry information that does not lead to a client relationship is kept only for as long as it is needed and is then deleted.

7. Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation you have the right to access your personal data, to have inaccurate data corrected, to request erasure or restriction in certain circumstances, to object to processing based on legitimate interests, to data portability, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact info@galad.ie. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission, the Irish supervisory authority, at dataprotection.ie.

8. Security

We maintain technical and organisational measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold, including access controls, secure document exchange and staff confidentiality obligations.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always published on this page with the date it was last updated.
