This policy explains what information Best Irish Learning collects when you use BestIrishLearning.com, why, and what rights you have. We collect as little as we can.
In short
We don’t sell your data, we don’t use affiliate tracking, and we don’t run advertising. If you email us, we use what you send only to reply.

Your email address, your name if you give it, and whatever you include in your message.
We use it only to reply, and to correct or update the site if you’ve reported an error.
When you visit the site
Our site is hosted on WordPress.com, which collects basic visit statistics, such as pages viewed, referring sites and approximate location, and may set cookies. [CONFIRM WHICH STATISTICS, ANALYTICS OR COOKIES ARE ENABLED ON THE SITE.]

- Site statistics: our legitimate interest in understanding which pages are useful. [IF ANY NON-ESSENTIAL COOKIES ARE USED, THE LEGAL BASIS IS YOUR CONSENT, AND A COOKIE BANNER IS NEEDED.]

Who we share it with
We don’t sell or rent your information. It is processed by our hosting provider, WordPress.com (Automattic), and by our email provider, [EMAIL PROVIDER], only to run the site and our inbox. Some of these providers may process data outside the European Economic Area, under safeguards such as the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. [CONFIRM AGAINST EACH PROVIDER’S TERMS.]

How long we keep it
We keep emails for [RETENTION PERIOD, FOR EXAMPLE 2 YEARS] after our last contact, unless a correction needs a record for longer. Site statistics are kept by WordPress.com under its own retention policy.

- access the personal data we hold about you
- have it corrected if it’s wrong
