Your Privacy Rights

Under GDPR and Irish data protection laws, you have significant control over your personal information. We've designed straightforward processes to help you exercise these rights effectively.

To make any privacy-related requests, contact our privacy team at [email protected] with your specific request and account information. We'll respond within 30 days and verify your identity before processing any requests that involve accessing or modifying personal data.

You also have the right to file a complaint with the Data Protection Commission of Ireland if you believe we've mishandled your personal information or violated your privacy rights.

Data Retention Periods

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for educational purposes, legal compliance, or legitimate business interests. Different types of data have specific retention schedules based on their purpose and legal requirements.

When retention periods expire, we securely delete personal information from all systems and backups. Some anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for statistical analysis and educational research purposes.

International Data Transfers

While Kaethermyx operates primarily within Ireland and the European Union, some of our technology providers may process data outside the EEA. When international transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards protect your personal information.

• Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission
• Adequacy decisions for transfers to countries with equivalent protection
• Certification schemes and codes of conduct for service providers
• Regular assessment of international transfer arrangements

We regularly review international transfer arrangements to ensure they meet current legal requirements and provide adequate protection for personal data processed outside Ireland.

This privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or data handling practices. We'll notify you of significant changes through email or prominent website notices.

Minor updates that don't affect your rights or how we handle personal information may be made without individual notification. We recommend reviewing this policy occasionally to stay informed about our privacy practices.
