Our Privacy & Cookie Policy
At Rugby Travel Ireland, we collect and manage user data according to the following Privacy Policy, with the goal of incorporating our company values: transparency, accessibility, sanity, usability. This document is part of RTI’s Terms and Conditions, and when making a booking you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions. Please read the Terms and Conditions in their entirety, and refer to those for definitions and contacts.
Data Collected
We collect anonymous data from every visitor of the Website to monitor traffic and fix bugs. For example, we collect information like web requests, the data sent in response to such requests, the Internet Protocol address, the browser type, the browser language, and a timestamp for the request.
We may ask you to log in and provide certain personal information (such as your name and email address) in order to be able to save your profile and the documents and comments associated with it. In order to enable these or any other login based features, we use cookies to store session information for your convenience. You can block or delete cookies and still be able to use the RTI Website, although if you do you will then be asked for your username and password every time you log in to the Website. In order to take advantage of certain features of the Website, you may also choose to provide us with other personal information, such as your picture or personal Website, but your decision to utilize these features and provide such data will always be voluntary.
You are able to view, change and remove your data associated with your profile. Should you choose to delete your account, please contact us at [email protected], and we will follow up with such request as soon as possible.
Use of the Data
We only use your personal information to provide you with the services that you have booked or to communicate with you about the services you have booked.
With respect to any documents you may choose to upload to RTI (especially the online questionnaire that must be completed after your booking has been confirmed), we take the privacy and confidentiality of such documents very seriously. We encrypt all documents, and permanently delete any redacted edits you make to documents. If you choose to make a document public, we recommend you redact any and all references to people and addresses, as we can’t protect public data and we are not responsible for any violation of privacy law you may be liable for.
We employ industry standard techniques to protect against unauthorized access of data about you that we store, including personal information.
We do not share personal information you have provided to us without your consent, unless:
– doing so is appropriate to carry out your own request;
– we believe it’s needed to enforce our Terms of Service, or that is legally required;
– we believe it’s needed to detect, prevent or address fraud, security or technical issues;
– otherwise protect our property, legal rights, or that of others.
RTI may contact you, by email or other means. For example, RTI may send you promotional emails relating to RTI Tours only but never on behalf of any third party. If you do not want to receive email from RTI, please opt out of receiving emails at the bottom of any RTI ezines.
Sharing of Data
We don’t share your personal information with third parties. Only aggregated, anonymized data is periodically transmitted to external services to help us improve the RTI Website and service. We currently use Google Analytics (traffic analysis, SEO optimization), Mailchimp (mailing list management) and Formstack (Data management system that helps us collect information through online forms, including surveys, special requirements, merchandise sizes etc).
We also use social buttons provided by services like Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and Facebook. Your use of these third party services is entirely optional. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices of these third party services, and you are responsible for reading and understanding those third party services’ privacy policies.
We employ and contract with people and other entities that perform certain tasks on our behalf and who are under our control (our “Agents”). We may need to share personal information with our Agents in order to provide products or services to you. Unless we tell you differently, our Agents do not have any right to use Personal Information or other information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us. You hereby consent to our sharing of Personal Information with our Agents.
We may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the transferred business assets. Moreover, if we, or substantially all of our assets, were acquired, or if we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of us or our assets may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
RTI GDPR Privacy Notice
If you are located in the European Union (“EU”), United Kingdom, Lichtenstein, Norway, or Iceland, you may have additional rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) with respect to your Personal Data, as outlined below.
For this GDPR Privacy Notice, we use the terms “Personal Data” and “processing” as they are defined in the GDPR, but “Personal Data” generally means information that can be used to individually identify a person, and “processing” generally covers actions that can be performed in connection with data, such as collection, use, storage and disclosure. RTI will be the controller of your Personal Data processed in connection with the Services.
Where applicable, this GDPR Privacy Notice is intended to supplement, and not replace, our existing privacy policy. If there are any conflicts between this GDPR Privacy Notice and our Privacy Policy, the policy or portion that is more protective of Personal Data shall control to the extent of such conflict.
