Your matchmaking preferences and selections are treated as private.

Other attendees will not be able to view your individual votes or private matchmaking selections.

Where a mutual match occurs, you may be given the opportunity to choose whether to share your email address, WhatsApp number, or other contact information.

Contact details will not be automatically shared with another attendee simply because you have matched.

Photography and video may be taken at Love Éire events for promotional, marketing, social media, website, and event-related communications.

Where identifiable images are used, we will handle them in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws.

Where an attendee has provided consent, their image or likeness may be used for the purposes described in the relevant consent.

If an attendee does not wish to be photographed or filmed, they should notify the Love Éire team or photographer before or during the event, and we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate their request.

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate our events and services, such as ticketing, event management, email, hosting, payment, and technology providers.

We may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to protect the rights, safety, or security of individuals or our organisation.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including event administration, legal, accounting, reporting, and legitimate business purposes.

Where information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it where appropriate.

Depending on applicable data protection law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:

• Request access to your personal information
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion where applicable
• Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances
• Object to certain processing
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

You may contact us to exercise your rights.

If you receive marketing communications from Love Éire, you can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our marketing emails.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not affect essential communications relating to an event you have purchased or registered for.

We may use third-party services to provide ticketing, payments, email communications, hosting, authentication, analytics, event management, and other services.

These providers may process personal information on our behalf and are expected to handle information in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

The latest version will be made available through the Love Éire website or relevant event registration pages.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, please contact the Love Éire team through the contact details provided on the Love Éire website or event registration page.

This Privacy Policy is governed by applicable Irish and European data protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), where applicable.
