How FIREWEB collects, uses, protects and shares personal information when you use this website or contact the studio.
FIREWEB collects the information you choose to send through the enquiry form, plus limited technical data needed to run and secure the website. It is used to respond to you, deliver services and meet legal obligations. Non-essential analytics require consent.
1. Who controls your data
FIREWEB is responsible for personal data collected through fireweb.ie and through direct enquiries made via this website.
Legal name: FIREWEB
Business address: Cork, Ireland
Email: info@fireweb.ie
Phone: +353 85 108 9986
2. Information we collect
We collect only information reasonably needed to operate the website, respond to enquiries and deliver services. This may include:
- your name, email address and phone number;
- business or organisation name;
- the service you are interested in, approximate budget and preferred contact method;
- the information you include in a project enquiry or subsequent correspondence;
- technical and security information such as IP address, browser information, server logs and timestamps;
- cookie or analytics information where you have given consent.
Please do not send sensitive personal data through the project enquiry form unless it is genuinely necessary for your request.
3. Why we use your information
| Purpose | Typical lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Responding to an enquiry and discussing a potential project | Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, or legitimate interests in responding to business enquiries |
| Providing agreed web design, development, support or related services | Performance of a contract |
| Maintaining security, preventing abuse and troubleshooting the website | Legitimate interests in operating a secure and reliable website |
| Keeping business, tax and accounting records where required | Legal obligation |
| Optional analytics or non-essential tracking | Your consent |
Where processing is based on legitimate interests, we use personal data only where those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
4. Who may receive your data
Personal data may be processed by service providers that help FIREWEB operate the website and business, such as website hosting, email, security, backup and professional service providers. They receive only the information reasonably necessary for the relevant service.
The website is hosted using third-party infrastructure. Some portfolio previews may also be delivered using third-party web infrastructure. When external content is requested, the external provider can receive normal connection information such as your IP address, browser and request time.
We do not sell personal data to advertisers.
5. International transfers
Some technology providers may process information outside Ireland or the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred internationally, FIREWEB will rely on an appropriate legal mechanism where required, such as an adequacy decision or approved contractual safeguards.
6. How long we keep information
We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. General enquiries are retained while they are active and for a limited period afterwards where needed for follow-up, business records or legal claims. If an enquiry becomes a client project, related records may be retained for the duration of the relationship and for applicable legal, tax and accounting periods.
Security logs are retained only for a proportionate period needed to investigate abuse, errors or security incidents.
7. Your data-protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access your personal data, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, restrict or object to processing, receive certain data in portable form, and withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
To exercise a right, email info@fireweb.ie. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
You also have the right to make a complaint to the Irish Data Protection Commission if you believe your personal data has been handled unlawfully.
8. Cookies and tracking
FIREWEB uses a consent tool for non-essential cookies and similar technologies. Strictly necessary technologies may operate without consent. Analytics and marketing categories remain off unless you actively choose to enable them.
You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings control displayed on the website. See the Cookie Policy for more detail.
