General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

We act as the verified Data Controller for your information under applicable law.

The information collected by log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.

Your Data Protection Rights Under GDPR

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights. We aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data.

If you wish to be informed what Personal Data we hold about you and if you want it to be removed from our systems, please contact us at info@wed.ie.

In certain circumstances, you have the following data protection rights:

  • The right to access, update or to delete the information we have on you: Whenever made possible, you can access, update or request deletion of your Personal Data by contacting us.

  • The right to data portability: You have the right to be provided with a copy of the information we have on you in a structured, machine-readable and commonly used format.
  • The right to withdraw consent: You also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where we relied on your consent to process your personal information. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of our processing based on such consent before its withdrawal.

Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests. We will try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month.

You have the right to complain to a Data Protection Authority about our collection and use of your Personal Data. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority in the European Economic Area (EEA).

Data Transfers Outside the EEA

We and our third-party service providers (such as analytics, hosting providers, or marketing partners) may process or transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it utilizing standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

Children's Information

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.

The Wedding Show does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
