Privacy notice

Who runs this site

poddle.ie is a personal, non-commercial local-history project based in Dublin. You can contact the project through the form on the About page.

Visitor counts

The site counts visits with GoatCounter. It uses no cookies and does not track you across sites. It records which page was viewed, the site you came from, your browser and screen size and your country. Your IP address is not stored. There is no advertising on this site.

Messages you send

If you use the contact form, your name, email address and message are passed through FormSubmit and delivered to the project by email. They are used only to reply to you, and deleted when no longer needed, usually within a year.

Buying a workbook

Workbooks are sold through Payhip, which handles payment and delivery under its own privacy policy. Payhip shares your name, email address and what you bought with the project, so it can help with any problem with your order. The project never sees your card details.

Schools

The project may email a school’s published office address to tell it about this free resource. It keeps the school’s name, its published email address and the principal’s name, because telling local schools about a free local-history resource is a legitimate interest, and the impact on them is small. Each email says how to opt out, and if a school asks not to be contacted again, the project keeps a note of that so it never is. The other details are deleted after a year if there is no reply.

Other sites

The maps load street tiles from OpenStreetMap and the text uses Google Fonts, so your browser connects to those services to fetch them. Links to Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and other sites take you to services with their own privacy policies.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete anything the project holds about you, or object to its use, through the contact form. If you are unhappy with how your data has been handled, you can complain to the Data Protection Commission.
