Disclosure of your information:
We do not reveal any matters about you to any other party other than that required of us under Irish Law
Under section 4 of the Acts a person has a right to be given a copy of
his/her personal data. If you require statement of the data we hold
then you must provide us with a Subject Access Request. This is a
simple statement laying out the reason and detail of your request. We
would charge a fee of €6.35 and will respond within 40 days.
We will accept e-mailed, faxed or written request to Hosting Ireland
Administration at the above address. The fee must be included in the
posted request or details of your bank account included in the email or

Please provide proof of your identity in all cases.
Under section 6 of the Acts, you have a right to have your personal

within 40 days of the receipt of your request. We will accept e-mailed,
faxed or written request to Hosting Ireland Administration at the above

Please provide proof of your identity in all cases.
In addition to administration information we may, at our discretion, use various forms of processing of data including the collection of IP addresses, use of cookies or web beacons.
We may store some information on your computer in the form of a "cookie".
A Cookie will permit us to maintain our service to match your needs,
interests and preferences. You have a right to refuse to accept cookies.
A cookie is a small text file that is saved on your computer. Most web
sites deliver cookies to provide visitors access to various functions
on the website. Cookies can be long-lived or short lived. The
long-lived cookie holds information and compares it with information
you display when you return. Web sites that recognise you when you
return and provide access codes automatically are examples of this. The
short-term cookies are known as session cookies. These are stored
temporarily during your visit and are not stored in your computer for
long and are regularly deleted when you close your computer. Long
lasting cookies can be deleted from "documents and settings" on your
computer.
You can set your computer to block cookies by setting your browser to
reject them. However, you may lose many functions that you at present
take for granted. Cookies have become like unseen automatic servants -
doing things repeatedly that would otherwise require our deliberate
intervention.
We take the security of our servers, administration and customer care seriously.
We provide trained staff and procedures to maintain a high level of security and
monitor the operation of all features of the business to ensure the protection of your data and ours.
We endeavour to keep our staff and procedures up to date to ensure the best operational conditions for you.
We also endeavour to keep your information up to date and may email you with requests or updates by email.
This is largely a reactive policy, as problems are often only discovered when dealing with the data subject. However, you may make reference to the need to hold only accurate, complete and up-to-date data, suggesting means by which data subjects may update their details or actions you may take to ensure accuracy, such as contacting customers by e- mail. We will not retain data that is out of date or unnecessary.
There are some circumstances where Credit Card and other financial information data would be kept for long periods. This is necessary with some of our services, but you will always be informed of this and have the option of the deletion of this retained data at some stage. Usually all such data is held only for the period of each transaction.
All complaints must be directed to support@hostingireland.ie and we will endeavour to correct any errors and provide procedural changes thereafter.
