Irish Tourism Privacy Policy

Having regularly used the Internet for many years the proprietors of IrishTourism.com Limited are very concerned about your privacy. We appreciate that privacy is a very important issue, therefore we are extremely careful as to how any personal information you provide is stored and used.

We will not sell, lease or donate your personal details to any third party without your express permission and then only for the purpose of dealing with an enquiry or booking.

We take all reasonable measures to ensure you never receive unsolicited communication as a result of providing IrishTourism.com with your personal information. If for any reason you believe our undertaking has been compromised, if you are unhappy with any aspect of our Privacy Policy or have any suggestions for improvement please let us know.

We will only send you our Newsletter or contact you about Special Offers if you have specifically given us permission to do so.

Further Information
There is no pre-registration process to be undertaken when you visit us; you can browse to your heart's content without supplying any personal information. However, in order to deal with an enquiry/booking we do require a certain amount of personal data, which may include the following:
Your Name
E-mail Address
Postal Address
Phone Number
Credit Card Details


Surveys
To enable us to assess our website's effectiveness and usability we may occasionally ask our visitors to take part in a short online survey. Taking part in the survey provides you with the opportunity to influence the future development of the website and would be on an entirely voluntary basis. Any personal information you supply will be exclusively for our use and will not be divulged to a third party. Non-personal demographic details such as age, gender or your travel preferences may be shared with advertisers and our approved service providers, but is not linked to any personal information that could identify you.

Contests
From time to time we intend running contests, possibly in conjunction with third parties. Your participation will require you to share a certain amount of your personal information with us, like your name and e-mail address. We will only use your personal information to notify you should you win a contest.

Cookies
A "cookie" is a small line of text that is stored within your browser when you visit a cookie-enabled website. As you browse the Web, cookie-enabled sites will send cookies to your browser, along with pages. Your browser probably has options that will let you control whether the browser accepts cookies, rejects cookies, or notifies you each time a cookie is sent to you.

If your browser is set to reject cookies, cookie-enabled websites will not recognise you when you return. This provides you with anonymity, but it also makes it very difficult to offer you customised services. It is also less secure than using cookies, because all of your specific data must be sent to the website each time you view a page. Accepting cookies means your private data can stay at the Web server, and the only information transmitted over the Internet is your ID cookie.

If your browser is set to accept cookies, any cookies that are sent to your browser are stored in your computer for a period of time. There are a few different types of cookies. A "session" cookie is stored only in your computer's working memory (RAM) and only lasts for your browsing session. When you close all of your browser's windows, or when you shut down your computer, the session cookie disappears forever. A "permanent" cookie is stored on your computer's hard drive until a specified date, which could be tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now. Permanent cookies stay on your computer until either:

a) they expire,
b) they are overwritten with newer cookies,
c) you manually remove them.


Normal Website Usage
In order to improve our site content and usability we collect anonymous data on our server that is not linked to you as an individual. Typically we can see how our site is navigated, the average length of time spent on our site by a visitor, the most popular pages and the type of browser used.

We use this information to generate statistics and measure site activity to benefit our visitors. This same information may be shared with third parties in order to provide these services or to analyze, store, or aggregate the information.
