Data Protection Information Notice

The terms ‘Personal Data’, ‘Data Controller’ and ‘Data Processor’ are defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

Who are we?

We are Whelan Law and we provide legal services to clients. We are an Irish company and registered address is Friar St, St. Dominick's Abbey, Cashel, Co. Tipperary, E25 R227.

What Personal Data do we collect on this website and elsewhere?

We do not collect any Personal Data from you on this website.

If you contact us via email then we will process your Personal Data (e.g. your email address) to respond to you. We do not ask for any other Personal Data, but you might volunteer them in an email in which case we will treat them as we will the rest of your email.

We do not sell any services or products on the website, so we do not collect any financial or banking details.

If you decide you want to take some or all of our services, we will subsequently ask you for certain Personal Data for communicating with you, for delivering those services and for accounting and billing purposes. This is so that we can perform our part of the legal contract we have with you. In this regard we are a Data Controller.

If, during the performance of that contract and as part of the services we deliver to you, we may be required to process the Personal Data of your customers, employees or clients. In this regard we are a Data Processor and we will have a Data Processor Agreement with you and we have obligations of confidentiality, security and protection of such Personal Data.

The only cookie that we put on your device is eucookielaw which is used to suppress the 'pop-up' notice on cookies if you have accepted the notice on a previous visit.

How long do we retain your Personal Data for?

The cookie data will be retained for ten years.

  • Request a copy of any Personal Data we hold on you;

  • Request that we stop or restrict the processing of your Personal Data;
  • Request that we delete your Personal Data;
  • Request that we provide you with your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine readable format and transmitted to another Data Controller.
