Introduction
- This Privacy Policy explains how we (“we”, “us”, “our”), the owners/operators of https://morriscastleseaview.ie/ (the “Site”), collect, use, store and disclose personal data when you use the Site.
- The Site advertises and facilitates the sale of a property. Any contact information you provide will be used only to communicate with you regarding that property (for example, to respond to enquiries, arrange viewings or provide sale‑related information).

Applicable law and supervisory authority
We process personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as applied in Ireland and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018. If you are in Ireland or the EEA, the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) is the supervisory authority.
Personal data we collect
- Data you provide directly:
- Name, e‑mail address, telephone number, message contents and any other information you enter into contact forms (WPForms) or Calendly booking forms.
- Any documents or attachments you send to us.
- Technical/automatic data:
- IP address, browser type, device information and pages visited (log data) collected automatically by the Site and by our hosting/analytics providers.
- Cookies and similar technologies used on the Site:
- See the Cookies section below.
How we collect personal data
- Contact forms: The Site uses WPForms to manage contact forms. When you submit a form, WPForms processes the data and transmits it to us.
- Scheduling: The Site contains an embedded Calendly scheduler. When you book a call via the embed, Calendly processes the booking details and shares them with us for the purpose of arranging the call.
- Hosting and logs: WP Engine (hosting) and any analytics providers process log and usage data as part of providing their services.
Purposes of processing and lawful bases We process personal data for the following purposes and on these lawful bases:
- To respond to enquiries and communicate about the property (lawful basis: consent or legitimate interest in responding to genuine enquiries).
- To arrange viewings, calls or meetings booked via Calendly and to manage such bookings (lawful basis: performance of pre‑contractual steps or legitimate interest).
- To maintain records for legal, tax and accounting purposes and to detect or prevent fraud (lawful basis: legal obligation and legitimate interest).
- To administer and secure the Site and to perform limited analytics to improve user experience (lawful basis: legitimate interest). Note: We will not use your contact details for marketing unrelated to the property sale unless you provide explicit consent.
Who we share personal data with
- Service providers who process data on our behalf (processors), including:
- Professional advisors and third parties directly involved in the sale (estate agents, solicitors, surveyors, lenders, tax authorities), where necessary for the sale process or required by law.
- Law enforcement or other authorities when required by law or to protect our legal rights.
International transfers
Some service providers may transfer or store data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including to the United States. Where transfers are made to jurisdictions without an adequacy decision, we will ensure appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms) are in place. You may request details of the safeguards in use by contacting us.
Retention of personal data
- Enquiry and contact data: retained for up to 7 years from last contact, or for such period as is necessary to respond to queries or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
- Booking records (Calendly): retained for the period necessary to administer appointments and for archiving purposes — typically up to 7 years.
- Log data and analytics: retained for up to 26 months unless anonymised sooner. These retention periods reflect typical practice; if you require a different retention approach please contact us.
Your rights Under the GDPR and Irish law you have the right to:
- Request access to personal data we hold about you.
- Request rectification of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Request restriction of processing in specified situations.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Request portability of your personal data where processing is by automated means and based on consent or contract.
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@byrnemalone.ie or call +353 087 774 0742. We will respond within one month unless a longer period is permitted by law.
Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage (for example, encryption, access controls and regular security reviews). However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure; absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
