Privacy Policy

Introduction

We at joycetower.ie respect your right to privacy and comply with our obligations under the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2002 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle any personal data you provide to us while visiting this website.

We collect two types of information:

Personal Data

This is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you. It may include:

  • Name

Personal data is only collected when you voluntarily provide it — for example, when contacting us through a form, subscribing to our mailing list, or purchasing tickets through Ticket Tailor.

We also collect statistical and analytical data on an aggregate basis from website visitors.
This may include:

  • Browser type and device

This information cannot be used to identify you personally.

Cookies and Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous data about how visitors use the website.
This helps us understand which pages are most useful and how the site can be improved. IP anonymisation is enabled, and data is processed in accordance with GDPR.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device to help the site function properly and to collect limited analytical information. You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer not to share this information.

Each of these providers has its own GDPR-compliant privacy policies. They only process data necessary to deliver their services to us and do not use your data for their own purposes.
