Privacy

Shannon.ie does not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. The site collects only what is necessary to deliver content and respond to enquiries.

When you submit a message through the contact form, your name, email address, and message text are sent to the editorial team via email. That information is used solely to reply to your question or process your correction request. It is not added to a mailing list or passed to advertisers.

Shannon.ie does not require registration or login to read articles. You can browse the entire site without creating an account or providing personal details.

Technical logs, such as IP addresses and browser types, may be collected automatically by the web server for security, troubleshooting, and traffic analysis. These logs are kept briefly and are not linked to individual identities or shared outside the hosting infrastructure.

The site may use cookies for basic functionality, such as remembering your language preference or maintaining a session if you submit a form. No tracking cookies from advertising networks or analytics platforms are placed without your consent.

Shannon.ie does not host user accounts, store payment information, or process transactions. If a guide links to an external service, such as a council payment portal, that site's privacy policy applies once you leave Shannon.ie.

If you have questions about how your information is handled, email editorial@shannon.ie. We will explain what data was collected, why, and how long it is kept.

Privacy is not a footnote. It is a design choice. Shannon.ie collects less, stores less, and shares nothing that is not essential to the service.
