Service Providers
We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service (“Service Providers”), to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services or to assist us in analysing how our Service is used.
These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Links to Other Sites
Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.
Children’s Privacy
In accordance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we can only process a child’s personal data on grounds of consent with the explicit consent of their parent or guardian up to a certain age. The age threshold for obtaining parental consent varies between 13 and 16 years, depending on the age established in each EU Member State.
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers. Our data controller shall make reasonable efforts to verify in such cases that consent is given or authorised by the holder of parental responsibility over the child, taking into consideration available technology.

Website Specific Policy
Our website address is: https://dermothall.ie.
This site is managed and operated by Kingsley Media Productions (KMP) on behalf of Dermot Hall Limited.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site (if enabled), we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymised string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website (e.g., via contact forms), please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from publicly visible images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in your details again later. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page (e.g., for booking or account access), a temporary cookie may be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we may set up several cookies to save your login details and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish content (if applicable), an extra cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply stores the post ID. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles or sections on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, booking widgets, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if the visitor had visited those sites directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content — especially if you are logged into those third-party sites.
Booking and Payments
When booking a service, we collect your name, email address, and phone number so we can confirm, remind, and manage your booking. You may also receive automated email or SMS notifications about your appointments.
Payment processing (when enabled) is handled securely via Stripe. No card details are stored on our server. All transactions are encrypted and processed according to Stripe’s security standards. See Stripe’s privacy policy for more details.

- Hosting and analytics tools
Your data is only shared when necessary for providing services or complying with legal obligations.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognise and approve follow-ups automatically.
For users who register or make a booking, we store the personal information provided in their profile or booking history. You can contact us to request deletion of this data, unless we are required to keep it for legal or administrative purposes (e.g. payment records).
