Privacy
Policy.

Darragh Hayden, Dublin, Ireland, is responsible for personal data processed through this artist website.

For privacy questions or requests, email info@darraghhayden.net.

When you submit an enquiry through the contact form or send an email, we may receive your name, email address, subject and the information you include in your message.

The website and its hosting/security services may also process technical information needed to operate and protect the site, such as IP address, browser information, request times and error or security logs.

Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your enquiry.

Your enquiry information is used to respond to your message, discuss artworks or potential commissions, and manage related correspondence. The usual legal basis is our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries, or taking steps at your request before entering into an agreement.

Technical information is used to deliver, maintain, troubleshoot and secure the website, based on legitimate interests in safe and reliable operation and, where applicable, compliance with legal obligations.

We do not use a contact-form enquiry as consent to send marketing messages. Any separate optional marketing communications would require an appropriate legal basis and, where required, consent.

The site uses Contact Form 7 to collect and route enquiries. Submissions are sent to the website's designated email inbox. Messages may be processed by the website hosting provider and the email services used to send and receive them.

Submitting the form does not itself create an account or subscribe you to a mailing list.

The website may use cookies or similar technologies needed for core WordPress functions, administration, security and reliable operation. Depending on which optional plugins and services are enabled, additional technologies may be used for functionality or measurement.

Where Irish/EU law requires consent for non-essential cookies or tracking, these should not be enabled until you have given your choice. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

Site-owner check before publication: confirm which optional analytics, embedded media, third-party fonts, anti-spam or marketing services are currently active, and add their names and cookie purposes here if relevant.

Information is shared only as reasonably necessary with service providers supporting website hosting, security, form delivery and email, or when legally required. Service providers may process data on our behalf under their applicable terms and safeguards.

Some providers may handle information outside Ireland or the European Economic Area. Where this happens, appropriate protections are required, such as an adequacy decision or approved contractual safeguards.

The separate Irish Artmart website is an external service; following a link to it means its own privacy notice applies.

Enquiry emails and related correspondence are kept only for as long as needed to respond, maintain relevant records, resolve disputes or meet legal requirements. Technical and security logs are retained according to operational needs and the relevant providers' retention settings.

Records are reviewed and deleted or anonymised when they are no longer needed, subject to any applicable legal obligations.

Subject to applicable data-protection law, you may request access to your personal information, ask for inaccuracies to be corrected, request erasure or restriction, object to certain processing, and request data portability where it applies. You may withdraw consent at any time where processing relies on consent.

To make a request, email info@darraghhayden.net. You may also complain to Ireland's Data Protection Commission.

This policy may be revised when website features or service providers change. The latest version will be published on this page.
