We collect two basic types of information from You from Your use of the Website: Personal Data and Non-Personal Data.

2. Personal Data

"Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

We may process any of Your Personal Data identified in this Privacy Policy where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure. The legal basis for this processing is Our legitimate interests, namely the protection and assertion of Our legal rights, Your legal rights and the legal rights of others.

In addition to the specific purposes for which We may process Your Personal Data set out in this clause, We may also process any of Your Personal Data where such processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which We are subject, or in order to protect Your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.

In some cases, it is not possible for Us to specify in advance the periods for which Your Personal Data will be retained. In such cases, We will determine the period of retention based on our legitimate interests, namely the proper administration of Our Website and business.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, We may retain Your Personal Data where such retention is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which We are subject, or in order to protect Your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.

6. Data Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to Us, both during transmission and once We receive it. We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorised alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the Personal Data in Our possession. This includes, for example, firewalls, password protection and other access and authentication controls.

We use HTTPS to encrypt the connection between Your browser and Our servers.

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is an internet communication protocol that protects the integrity and confidentiality of data between your computer and https://wisdomengineers.ie. The use of HTTPS makes sure your communication with us is:

Encrypted: The data you exchange with us is secure from eavesdroppers. That means that when you are browsing https://wisdomengineers.ie, nobody can track your activities across multiple pages, or steal the data exchange between your computer and https://wisdomengineers.ie.

Integral: The use of HTTPS preserves the integrity of data. Your data cannot be modified or corrupted during transfer.

Authenticated: HTTPS protocol authenticates your communication with us. This ensures that you are always communicating with our servers.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information You transmit to Us or store on the Website, and You do so at Your own risk. We also cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of Our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

If We learn of a security systems breach, then We attempt to notify You electronically so that You can take appropriate protective steps. We may post a notice through the Website if a security breach occurs.

If You are a citizen of the EU, We have summarised the rights that You have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in this Section. Some of the rights are complex, and not all of the details have been included in Our summaries. Accordingly, You should read the relevant laws and guidance from the regulatory authorities for a full explanation of these rights.

Right to Access. You have the right to confirmation as to whether or not We process Your Personal Data and, where We do, access to the Personal Data, together with certain additional information. That additional information includes details of the purposes of the processing, the categories of Personal Data concerned and the recipients of the Personal Data. Providing the rights and freedoms of others are not affected, We will supply to You a copy of Your Personal Data. The first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may be subject to a reasonable fee.

Right to Rectification. You have the right to have any inaccurate Personal Data about You rectified and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete Personal Data about You completed.

Right to Erasure. In some circumstances You have the right to the erasure of Your Personal Data without undue delay. Those circumstances include: the Personal Data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; You withdraw consent to consent-based processing; You object to the processing under certain rules of applicable data protection law; the processing is for direct marketing purposes; and the Personal Data have been unlawfully processed.

However, there are exclusions of the right to erasure. The general exclusions include where processing is necessary: for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to Restrict Processing. In some circumstances You have the right to restrict the processing of Your Personal Data. Those circumstances are: You contest the accuracy of the Personal Data; processing is unlawful but You oppose erasure; We no longer need the Personal Data for the purposes of Our processing, but You require Personal Data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and You have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection. Where processing has been restricted on this basis, We may continue to store Your Personal Data. However, We will only otherwise process it: with Your consent; for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.

Right to Object to Processing. You have the right to object to Our processing of Your Personal Data on grounds relating to Your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for: the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in Us; or the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Us or by a third party. If You make such an objection, We will cease to process the Personal Data unless We can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override Your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

You have the right to object to Our processing of Your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If You make such an objection, We will cease to process Your Personal Data for this purpose.

Right to Data Portability. To the extent that the legal basis for Our processing of Your Personal Data is consent, or that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which You are party or in order to take steps at Your request prior to entering into a contract, and such processing is carried out by automated means, You have the right to receive Your Personal Data from Us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply where it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

Right to Complain to a Supervisory Authority. If You consider that Our processing of Your Personal Data infringes data protection laws, You have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. You may do so in the EU member state of Your habitual residence, Your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

Right to Withdraw Consent. To the extent that the legal basis for Our processing of Your Personal Data is consent, You have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

You may exercise any of Your rights in relation to Your Personal Data through written notice to Us. See Our Contact Details at the end of this Policy.

25. Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small file a website asks Your browser to store and send back on later requests. Some are strictly necessary: without them the site cannot serve a form safely or remember Your cookie choice. Others are optional, and We ask before setting them. This section summarises the cookies this Website uses; Our separate Cookie Policy lists each one in full.

This Website stores nothing in Your browser's local or session storage. Everything We keep on Your device is a cookie, and every one of them is listed in Our Cookie Policy.

25.1. Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary

session - a Flask session cookie that carries flash messages and the form CSRF token protecting Our forms against cross-site request forgery. It lasts for the browser session.

we_consent - records Your answer to the cookie banner, so We do not ask again and do not set analytics cookies You refused. It lasts six months. Our contact and newsletter forms also load an hCaptcha bot-protection widget, which sets its own strictly necessary, consent-exempt cookies.

Analytics (set only with Your consent)

_ga and _ga_<container> - set by Google Analytics 4 to count repeat visits as one visitor and to hold the current analytics session state. They last two years and are only written after You accept them in the banner.

25.2. Purpose Of Using Cookies

Security - We use the session cookie and its anti-forgery token to protect Our forms against cross-site request forgery.

Cookie Consent - We use we_consent to record Your answer to the cookie banner, so We do not ask again and do not set analytics cookies You refused.

Analysis - With Your consent, We use Google Analytics to understand where Our visitors come from and which channels bring Us customers.

25.3. Cookies Used by Our Service Providers

Google Analytics. Where You consent, Google Analytics 4 acts as Our processor and gathers information about Website use by means of the _ga cookies described above. The legal basis for this processing is Your consent, which You may withdraw at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in Our footer. Google Consent Mode holds every signal denied until You accept, and advertising storage stays denied at all times, so this data is not used to build advertising profiles. Google retains the analytics data for 14 months. Google's privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

25.4. Managing Cookies

You can change Your mind at any time with the "Cookie Settings" link in Our footer, or block cookies through Your browser. You can also learn more about, and opt out of, Google Analytics at the links below:

Please be advised that the practices described in this Privacy Policy do not apply to information gathered through these other sites. We are not responsible for the actions and privacy policies of third parties and other sites.

27. Public Areas

Please remember that any information You share in public areas, such as message boards or feedback sections, becomes public and anyone may take and use that information. Please be careful about what You disclose and do not post any Personal Data that You expect to keep private. Please consult the applicable guidelines, if any, for use of Our chat rooms and other community areas for more information.

To help ensure that You receive ads that are relevant to Your interests on the Website, Our advertisers’ services, and elsewhere on the Internet, We and third parties (including service providers, advertisers, and advertising companies) may collect information about Your online activities over time and across different sites, apps, and devices.

Through this process, We do not use information that directly identifies You.

Opt Out. You can opt out of receiving interest-based advertising on Your computer or laptop from some companies, including Us and Our service providers. 

If You wish to opt out of receiving interest-based advertising on Your mobile device, please see the advertising preferences information on support.apple.com for iOS devices or support.google.com for Android devices.

Opting out does not mean You will no longer receive advertising. It means that the company or companies from which You opted out will no longer deliver ads tailored to Your web preferences and usage patterns.

29. Changes And Updates

Please revisit this page periodically to stay aware of any changes to this Privacy Policy, which We may update from time to time. If We modify the Privacy Policy, We will make it available through the Website, and indicate the date of the latest revision. Any material changes will be posted on this Website and will come into effect 30 Days after their posting.

In the event that the modifications materially alter Your rights or obligations hereunder, We will make reasonable efforts to notify You of the change. For example, We may send a message to Your email address, if We have one on file, or generate a pop-up or similar notification when You access the Website for the first time after such material changes are made.
