Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Womaji Xikuyi, operating at womaji-xikuyi.info, collects, uses, and protects any personal data you provide when using this website. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 and the Data Protection Acts 1988 to 2018 as they apply in Ireland.

Who we are

The data controller for this website is Womaji Xikuyi, located at 13 Village Green, Tallaght, Dublin, Ireland. You can reach us by email at [email protected] or by phone at +353 1 451 5544.

This website is an informational resource. It does not sell products, provide professional services, or operate subscription programmes. The personal data we collect is limited to what is needed to respond to enquiries and to understand how the site is used.

What personal data we collect

We collect personal data in two ways: directly from you when you use our contact form, and automatically through standard website analytics.

When you use the contact form, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message. This information is transmitted directly to our email address and is not stored in a separate database.

When you visit the website, certain technical information may be collected automatically. This can include your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages you visited, and the time and date of your visit. This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies, subject to your consent preferences. Please see our Cookie Policy for full details.

Why we collect it and the legal basis

Your contact form information is collected and processed on the basis of legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): specifically, our interest in being able to respond to questions and communications directed to us, balanced against your interest in having your data handled appropriately.

Analytics data, where collected with consent, is processed on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent at any time through the cookie settings on this site.

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not use it for direct marketing. We do not sell or share it with third parties for commercial purposes.

How long we keep your data

Contact form submissions are retained in our email inbox for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the enquiry and any follow-up communication. We do not have a fixed retention period for email correspondence, but we do not retain messages indefinitely. If you would like your data deleted, you can request this at any time by emailing [email protected].

Analytics data, if collected, is subject to the retention policies of the analytics platform used. We do not store analytics data on our own servers.

Your rights under GDPR

Under the GDPR and Irish data protection law, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Right of access: You can ask us what personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification: If any data we hold is inaccurate, you can ask us to correct it.
• Right to erasure: You can ask us to delete personal data we hold about you, subject to any legal obligations we may have to retain it.
• Right to restriction: You can ask us to restrict how we process your data in certain circumstances.
• Right to data portability: Where processing is based on consent or contract, you can ask for your data in a portable format.
• Right to object: You can object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month as required by GDPR.

Complaints

If you have concerns about how we handle your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission (DPC), the supervisory authority for data protection in Ireland. The DPC can be contacted at www.dataprotection.ie or by post at 21 Fitzwilliam Square South, Dublin 2, D02 RD28.

We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns directly before you approach the DPC. Please contact us first at [email protected].
