This privacy policy explains how Puntit handles information connected with visits to puntit-bet-ie.com. It is written in plain language so you can understand what may be collected, why it may be used and what choices may be available to you.
Puntit is an information and review website for adults aged 18+ in Ireland. We aim to keep our approach proportionate: we do not ask for more information than is reasonably needed for the operation, security and improvement of the site. This notice may be updated when our practices or legal obligations change.
What do we see when you visit?
When you browse the site, technical information may be received automatically. This can include an IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, language settings, referring page, pages viewed and approximate times of access. Some of this information is used in aggregated form rather than to identify an individual visitor.
Technical data can help us keep puntit-bet-ie.com secure, identify errors, understand general site performance and present content in a usable format. We do not treat a visit alone as proof of someone’s identity, and you should avoid sending sensitive personal information through ordinary website interactions unless it is necessary for your enquiry.
Why might we use personal data?
We may use information to respond to messages, maintain and protect the website, understand how content is used, prevent misuse and meet applicable legal or regulatory requirements. The precise use depends on the information involved and the reason it was provided or collected.
Where consent is required, we will seek it in the relevant context. In other situations, processing may be based on a legitimate operational need or another lawful basis recognised by applicable data protection law. We do not use this policy to create a promise that every feature will always be available.
Do we sell or share your data?
We do not sell personal data as a commercial mailing list. Information may be shared with service providers where this is reasonably necessary to host, secure, analyse or operate the site, or to deal with a specific request. Such providers should only receive information relevant to their role.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law, court order or a competent authority, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the site, users or the public from fraud, abuse or security threats. We do not control the privacy practices of external websites reached through links, so you should read their notices separately.
How do cookies work here?
Cookies are small files or similar technologies stored on, or read from, your device. They may support basic functions, remember preferences, measure general traffic or help us understand whether pages work as intended. Some cookies are essential to the operation of a service, while others may be optional.
Depending on the tools in use, you may be able to manage optional cookies through a consent setting or your browser. Blocking cookies can affect certain features or presentation, but it does not necessarily prevent access to every page. Browser settings can also remove cookies already stored on your device.
How long is data kept?
Retention depends on the type of information and the reason for keeping it. Technical logs may be retained for security and troubleshooting, while enquiry details may be kept for as long as needed to handle the request and maintain a sensible record of communication.
We seek to avoid retaining information indefinitely. Data may be deleted, anonymised or securely restricted when it is no longer needed, unless a longer period is required for legal, accounting, security or dispute-resolution purposes. Back-up copies may take additional time to remove through normal system cycles.
How do I ask about my data?
You can contact us about a privacy question, a request to access or correct information, or a concern about how data has been used. Send your message to [email protected] and explain what you need. Please do not include passwords, payment details or unnecessary sensitive information.
We may need enough detail to locate the relevant information and may ask for reasonable confirmation of identity before completing a request. You can also raise a concern with the relevant data protection authority in Ireland if you believe your rights have not been respected. We will consider enquiries carefully and explain any practical limits that apply.
