Last reviewed: September 2026
Who is responsible for your data?
Blade Web Designs, Cavan, Ireland, is the data controller for personal information collected through this website and in the course of providing website, hosting, domain and maintenance services. Questions about privacy can be sent to admin@bladewebdesigns.com .
What information we collect
We may receive your name, business name, email address, telephone number and any information you choose to include in an enquiry. Existing clients may also provide website content, account details, domain or hosting information and other material needed to provide agreed services.
How we use it
Personal information is used to answer enquiries, prepare quotations, deliver and support contracted services, administer hosting, domains and SSL certificates, maintain business records, issue invoices and meet legal or accounting obligations. We do not sell personal information or use it for behavioural advertising.
Lawful basis
Depending on the circumstances, information is processed because it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering a contract, to perform a contract, to meet a legal obligation, or because Blade Web Designs has a legitimate business interest in responding to enquiries and administering its services.
Website logs and hosting
Like most web servers, the hosting infrastructure may record technical information such as IP address, browser or user-agent details, requested pages, timestamps and error information for security, diagnostics and service operation. These server logs are not used by Blade Web Designs for advertising profiling.
Contact forms and email
Messages submitted through the website are sent by email to Blade Web Designs. Form submissions are not intentionally stored in a public website database. Email correspondence may be retained where it is relevant to an enquiry, client relationship, service administration, security issue or legal/accounting requirement.
Service providers and international processing
Blade Web Designs uses third-party providers for services such as web hosting, domain registration, SSL certificates and email. Those providers may process limited personal or technical information as necessary to provide their services. Where information is processed outside the European Economic Area, any transfer must be handled in accordance with applicable data-protection law and the safeguards used by the relevant provider.
How long information is kept
Information is kept only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, for the ongoing client relationship, or to meet legal, accounting, security or contractual requirements. Unsuccessful enquiries do not need to be kept indefinitely and may be deleted when no longer useful.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict the use of your personal data, object to certain processing, or request data portability. You may also complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission if you believe your personal data has been handled unlawfully.
External links
This website may link to third-party websites. Blade Web Designs is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of external sites; once you follow an external link, that site’s own terms and privacy information apply.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when services, legal requirements or the way the website operates change. The review date above will be updated when material changes are made.
