PRIVACY INFORMATION PRINCIPLES
Purpose: At eireescort.com (hereinafter "the Website"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018, this policy explains how we handle the personal data you provide to us through direct contact, email, registration forms, ID verification flows, or our website's contact forms. This information will be used exclusively for the purposes detailed below.
The personal information you share with us is primarily used to manage your account, verify your age and identity, grant you access to various website services, and, where applicable, for billing and fulfilling contracted services. This is always done with your explicit consent, as outlined in our Terms and Conditions.
Broadly, we leverage the personal data we gather to operate our business, ensure platform safety, and deliver our services.
We may use the personal information collected through our services for several reasons, including:
- To operate and maintain the Website and its services.
- To create and manage your user account and advertisement profile.
- To verify your age and identity through government-issued documentation to prevent minor usage and comply with legal regulations.
- To process payments for our advertising services.
- To provide customer support and respond to your inquiries.
- To improve our products, technology, and services.
- To analyze usage of our services to ensure the technical functionality of our platform.
- To prevent, detect, respond to, and protect against potential or actual claims, liabilities, prohibited activities, human trafficking, and criminal behaviour.
- To comply with and enforce all applicable legal requirements, agreements, and policies.
Legal Basis (Legitimisation): Our legal basis for processing your data stems from your voluntary actions: accessing our website, requesting information, registering to use the services, and submitting mandatory verification documents. Consent for processing personal data is considered freely and clearly given when you agree to our terms by ticking the relevant checkbox during registration.
Data Retention Period
We adhere to strict data retention policies tailored to the type of data:
- General Account Data: We will retain your profile and account data for the duration of our business relationship or until you request its deletion.
- Identity Verification Documents (IDs): As per our Age Verification Policy, copies of government-issued ID documents uploaded for age verification are stored in a secure, isolated environment. They are retained for a period of 30 days after verification for audit and compliance purposes, after which they are securely and permanently deleted.
- Deleted Profiles: After you delete your advertisement, your user account credentials (email and password) may remain in our system to allow you to log in and create a new advertisement in the future. To permanently remove your account, you must contact support.
- Blocked Accounts: If your account is blocked due to a violation of our Terms or Policies, we reserve the right to retain your email address and digital fingerprint indefinitely in a "blacklist" to prevent re-registration and protect the community. This is based on our legitimate interest in maintaining platform safety.
- Telephone Calls: All call recordings (if applicable) are permanently deleted after 30 days.
Data Recipients: Your data will not be transferred to any third parties unless required by law or necessary for providing our services (e.g., secure payment processors).
Cookies: In line with GDPR, this website uses cookies to measure how users interact with our content and for age verification sessions. You can find detailed information in our Cookies Policy section below.
