Who we are

Nurse to Ireland (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website nursetoireland.com, an independent information resource for nurses who want to work and live in Ireland. For the purposes of data protection law, we are the data controller for personal information collected through this website. You can contact us about privacy at info@nursetoireland.com.

Information we collect

We collect only the information we need to run the website and respond to you.

Information you give us. When you use our contact form or email us, we collect your name, email address and the content of your message. If you subscribe to updates, we collect your email address.
Technical information. When you visit the site, our hosting provider and analytics tools may collect your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring website, pages visited and the time and date of your visit.
Cookies. Small files stored on your device that help the website work and help us understand how it is used. See the cookies section below.

Please do not send us sensitive personal information, such as passport copies, health information or immigration documents. We do not need it to answer general questions.

Legal basis for processing

Under GDPR, we must have a legal basis for using your information. We rely on your consent when you subscribe to updates or accept non-essential cookies, which you can withdraw at any time. We rely on our legitimate interests to reply to messages, run and improve the website and keep it secure, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights. We rely on legal obligation where the law requires us to keep or share certain information.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We use:

Essential cookies that are needed for the website to function and remain secure.
Analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are popular. We use these only with your consent.
Advertising cookies, if we display ads, which may be set by advertising partners to show relevant ads. We use these only with your consent.

You can accept or reject non-essential cookies through our cookie banner and change your choice at any time. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some parts of the site may not work properly as a result.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us run the website, such as our hosting provider, email service, analytics provider and security tools. These providers process data on our behalf under contracts that require them to protect it. We may also share information if required by law, to protect our rights or to prevent fraud.

International transfers

Some of our service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where this happens, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as European Commission adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.

How long we keep your information

We keep contact messages for as long as needed to respond and handle any follow-up, and generally no longer than two years. We keep subscriber email addresses until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is kept in line with our analytics provider’s retention settings. We delete or anonymise information when it is no longer needed.

Your rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

Access the personal information we hold about you
Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
Ask us to delete your information
Restrict or object to how we use your information
Receive your information in a portable format
Withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@nursetoireland.com. We will respond within one month. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to complain to the Data Protection Commission in Ireland or the data protection authority in your country.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including secure HTTPS connections, regular software updates and restricted access to data. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work hard to protect your information.

Third-party links

Our guides link to official websites and other external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. Please read their privacy policies when you visit them.

Children’s privacy

Our website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law, our practices or the services we use. We will post the updated version on this page with a new “last updated” date. Please check this page regularly.
