Privacy Policy

Who we are

Compass of Care (“we”, “us”) provides education workshops for schools in areas including cyber safety, anti-bullying, restorative practice, and empathy. This website is operated for that purpose.

For privacy questions or requests, contact us at compassofcare@outlook.com.

What this policy covers

This policy applies to:

• Visitors to compassofcare.ie and related pages on this site
• People who submit the “Book a workshop” / contact form
• People who email us directly

It does not cover third-party websites linked from our pages. Those sites have their own privacy practices.

Information we collect

Information you give us

When you use the contact / booking form, you may provide:

• Name
• School or organisation
• Role (for example teacher, principal, parent)
• Email address
• Phone number (optional)
• Sector (primary / secondary)
• Workshop interest
• Message / enquiry details

If you email us, we will also process the content of your message and any details you include.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider may process technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, dates/times of access, and pages visited, for security, reliability, and basic operation of the site. We do not use this site to run advertising tracking pixels.

Cookies

If the site is in preview / Coming Soon mode, we may set a small cookie after you enter the access password so you remain signed in for a limited period. That cookie is used only for access control and is not used for advertising.

Your browser may also store essential technical cookies required for the site to function. See our Cookie Policy for full details and the cookie notice on the site.

Why we use your information (lawful bases)

We use personal information to:

• Respond to workshop enquiries and arrange bookings (legitimate interests / steps prior to a contract)
• Communicate with schools, staff, and parents about services you have asked about (legitimate interests)
• Operate, secure, and improve the website (legitimate interests)
• Meet legal obligations where applicable (legal obligation)

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use the contact form to send marketing newsletters unless you have separately asked us to keep in touch that way.

Who we share information with

We share information only as needed to run the website and respond to you. That may include:

• Email / form delivery providers — for example Web3Forms, which delivers form submissions to our inbox at compassofcare@outlook.com
• Security / spam protection — Cloudflare Turnstile on the contact form, to reduce automated abuse
• Website hosting — currently Firebase / Google Cloud infrastructure used to host compassofcare.ie
• Professional advisers or authorities — only where required by law or to protect rights and safety

Some providers may process data outside Ireland / the EEA. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards offered by those providers (such as standard contractual clauses) where required.

Children

Our workshops support children and young people, but this website and the booking form are intended for adults (for example school staff and parents/guardians). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website. Please do not submit children’s personal details through the form unless we have asked for specific information needed to plan a booking, and then only what is necessary.

How long we keep information

We keep enquiry and booking-related correspondence for as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterwards for follow-up, record-keeping, and legal purposes. We then delete or anonymise it when it is no longer needed.

Your rights

Under GDPR / Irish data protection law, you may have rights to:

• Access your personal data
• Correct inaccurate data
• Ask us to erase data in certain circumstances
• Restrict or object to certain processing
• Data portability, where applicable
• Withdraw consent, where processing is based on consent

To exercise these rights, email compassofcare@outlook.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission (Ireland).

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you should review the updated policy.
