At Foyleside Shopping Centre, we are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you interact with our website, social media platforms, and attend our events. By accessing or using any of these platforms, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

How we collect your data

  • Personal Information

We may collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, postal address, and other relevant details when you voluntarily provide it to us. This may occur when you sign up for newsletters, participate in competitions or promotions, or communicate with us via our platforms.

  • Automatic Data Collection

When you visit our website or interact with our social media platforms, we may automatically collect certain information about your device, browsing actions, and patterns. This information may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and other usage data. We may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect this information.

How We Keep Your Data Secure?

We maintain a secure database to store your information. Once your data is stored in the database, Foyleside will not transmit it over the Internet unless necessary. In the event that transmission becomes necessary (such as for off-site backup purposes), we will ensure that the data is sent in an encrypted form to maintain its security. Foyleside and a specialised third-party security monitoring company continuously monitor the security measures in place to safeguard your information.

How we use your information

  • Providing Services

We use the information collected to provide you with the services you request, such as responding to queries, delivering newsletters, processing orders, and competitions. This includes sending you important updates and announcements related to our services.

  • Marketing and Communication

When you participate in a competition, or register for an event, we may request your consent to use your information for marketing purposes. By opting-in, you provide us with the lawful basis to send you marketing communications through email, telephone or SMS. If you decide that you no longer want to receive these communications, you can easily unsubscribe by either clicking the unsubscribe link provided in the email or by sending us an email expressing your preference to unsubscribe.

  • On-Site Events

When capturing on-site photography at centre events, we prioritise the privacy and rights of individuals. Prior to taking photographs, we will seek explicit consent from individuals or ensure that clear signage is in place to inform attendees about the photography activities and provide them with an opportunity to opt-out if they do not wish to be photographed. The photographs taken may be used for promotional purposes, including on our website and social media platforms, with the intention of showcasing the enjoyable experiences at our events. If you have any concerns or would like further information about our approach to data protection in relation to event photography, please do not hesitate to contact us.

  • Improving Our Platforms

We may use the information collected to analyse trends, track usage patterns, and enhance the functionality and performance of our website and social media platforms. This helps us improve our services and provide a better user experience.

  • Legal Compliance and Protection

We may use and disclose your personal information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or enforceable governmental requests. We may also do so to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, as well as those of our users or the public.
