Dunhillgaasc is also responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with the E-Privacy Regulations (S.I. No. 336 of 2011 – the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011). The E-Privacy Regulations relate to the processing of personal data in the context of certain electronic communications.  From 25 May 2018, processing of personal data in this context (including, amongst other things, unsolicited electronic communications made by phone, e-mail, and SMS) is subject to both the general laws set out in the GDPR and the specific laws set out in the E-Privacy Regulations.

During the course of dealing with a query, complaint or other matter, Dunhillgaasc may record personal data received by it during the course of phone calls in the form of notes made on any bookings.

All emails sent to Dunhillgaasc are recorded and are stored for the purposes of the matter to which the email relates.  The sender’s email address will remain visible to all staff tasked with dealing with the query.

What Is The Legal Basis For The Processing Of Personal Data?

The legal basis for the processing of personal data by Dunhillgaasc will depend on the legislative framework that applies and the purpose for which the processing is being carried out.  

Your Personal Data and Your Rights

Accessing your Personal Data

You may request access at any time to a copy of the personal data we hold about you. Any such request should be submitted to us in writing and sent to admin@dunhillgaasc.ie

We will need to verify your identity in such circumstances and may request more information or clarifications from you if needed to help us locate and provide you with the personal data requested. There is no charge applied to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

Right of Restriction

You may restrict us from processing your personal data in any of the following circumstances:

  • You have contested the accuracy of the personal data we hold on record in relation to you or for a period of time to enable us to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  • The processing of your personal data is unlawful and you request the restriction of the use of personal data instead of its erasure;
  • We no longer require your personal data for the purpose of processing but you require this data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
  • Where you have contested the processing (under Article 21(1) of the GDPR) pending the verification of our legitimate grounds.

Corrections or Erasure (Right to Rectification and Right to Be Forgotten)

If we hold personal data concerning you which are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or if you withdraw consent for us to process your personal data, you can request the deletion of this personal data. This right, however, will not apply where we are required to process personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation or where the processing of this information is carried out for reasons of public interest in the area of public health. If the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, you may request to have your personal information updated and corrected. To do so at any time, please contact us by email at admin@dunhillgaasc.ie

Your Right to Object

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time:

  • For direct marketing purposes
  • For profiling to the extent it relates to direct marketing
  • Where we process your personal data for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us, except where we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for this processing which would override your interests, rights, and freedoms or in connection with the enforcement or defence of a legal claim

To exercise your right to object at any time, please email admin@dunhillgaasc.ie. Should this occur, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes unless doing so is justified by a compelling legitimate ground as described above. For more information about our marketing practices, please see the Marketing Communications section below.

Personal Rights

The rights described in this section are personal rights and are exercisable only by the individual person (or data subject) concerned. If we receive any such request or communication directly from your customers and/or in relation to Your End Customer Data, we will refer the matter to you and cooperate in providing such reasonable assistance as may be required to enable you, as a controller, to respond to the matter. This will be described in more detailed in the Terms of Service or the other relevant contract between us

Disclosure to third parties

Personal data collected by Dunhillgaasc is held confidentially and is not shared by Dunhillgaasc with any third parties, with the following exceptions: 

  • Where the sharing of the personal data is necessary for the performance by Dunhillgaasc of its functions.  This may arise, for example, in the context of complaints handling, where Dunhillgaasc will usually disclose the complainant’s identity and the subject matter of the complaint to the data controller or processor against whom the complaint is made. This is required both for practicality (because without disclosing the identity of the complainant in this manner, it will likely be impossible to investigate the complaint) as well as to ensure procedural fairness.  
  • For the purpose of legal proceedings. In the event that the matter or complaint in  question is brought before the Courts (whether the Irish Courts, the Court in the Member State of any other data protection supervisory authority or the Court of Justice of the EU), the materials, including any information, documents or submissions provided by an individual, may be made public in open court.
  • In the case of service providers or suppliers to Dunhillgaasc. Dunhillgaasc uses data processors to provide certain services to Dunhillgaasc. Dunhillgaasc requires such processors to abide by certain terms to protect any personal data which is processed by the service provider/supplier during the course of providing the service, in accordance with the requirements set out at Article 28(3) of the GDPR.  

How Long Does Dunhillgaasc Retain Personal Data? 

The retention periods for personal data held by Dunhillgaasc are based on the requirements of the data protection legislation set out above at Section 2 of this Data Protection Statement and on the purpose for which the personal data is collected and processed. For example, in the case of complaints, Dunhillgaasc will retain personal data (as contained on its case file) for as long as is necessary for the handling of the complaint and for any subsequent action that is required. 

The retention periods applied by Dunhillgaasc to personal data which it processes are also, in certain circumstances, based on legal and regulatory requirements to retain information for a specified period and on the relevant limitation periods for taking legal action.
