At IrishDrive Guide, accessible from our website, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by IrishDrive Guide and how we use it, in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws.
If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us through our Contact page.
1. Information We Collect
The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information.
- Information you provide to us directly: When you contact us directly via our contact form, we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide.
- Log Files: IrishDrive Guide follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. 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.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain our website;
- Improve, personalize, and expand our website's user experience;
- Understand and analyze how you use our website;
- Develop new informational guides, services, and features;
- Communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, including for customer service, to provide you with updates and other information relating to the website;
- Find and prevent fraud and spam.
3. Third-Party Privacy Policies and Links
IrishDrive Guide's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Thus, we are advising you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers or official toll payment portals (such as eFlow) for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options.
We are an independent informational portal. When you click on a link that redirects you to an external payment processor or government entity, any data you provide on that external site is governed by their privacy policies, not ours.
4. GDPR Data Protection Rights

- The right to rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate. You also have the right to request that we complete the information you believe is incomplete.
- The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
- The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.

If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
5. 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.
IrishDrive Guide 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.
