When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

 

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

General statement

We are Da Silly Heads Ltd (the “DSH”, “we”, “us”, “our”) of an Irish Registered Company having its registered office at the Rubicon Centre, CIT Campus, Bishopstown, Cork.

We take our responsibilities under applicable data protection law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation and implementing legislation such as the Data Protection Act 2018, very seriously. The purpose of this notice is to inform you of the data relating to you that we collect and use in connection with this website and the uses (including disclosures to third parties) we make of such data.
We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any linked sites. Any external links to other websites are clearly identifiable as such. Some technical terms used in this statement are explained at the end of this page.
If you have any questions about our use of your personal data, please contact dataprivacy@dasillyheads.com

Collection and use of personal information

Da Silly Heads Ltd do not collect any personal data about you on this website, apart from information which you volunteer (for example by emailing us, using our online feedback form, signing up to our mailing list or by making a purchase). This personal data may include:
• your name and contact details, including your address, phone number and email address;
• any other personal data relating to you that you provide to us or that we generate about you in connection with your use of this website.

Collection and use of technical information

When you visit our website, the following information is retained about that visit:
• the IP address of the visitor’s web server; • the top-level domain name used (for example .ie, .com, .org, .net);
• the previous website address from which the visitor reached us, including any search terms used;
• Google analytics which shows the traffic of visitors around this web site (for example pages accessed and documents downloaded);
• the type of web browser and operating system used by the website visitor.

DSH will make no attempt to identify individual visitors, or to associate the technical details listed above with any individual. It is the policy of DSH never to disclose such technical information in respect of individual website visitors to any third party (apart from our internet service provider, which records such data on our behalf and which is bound by confidentiality provisions in this regard), unless obliged to disclose such information by law. The technical information will be used only by the DSH, and only for statistical and other administrative purposes.

Purposes of processing and legal basis

We will use personal data relating to you for the purposes of:
• dealing with any queries that you have submitted to us via the website;
• improving and developing this website;

• sending you promotional and marketing materials, subject to any preferences that you express when we collect your contact details or subsequently. You can opt out of receiving promotional and marketing materials from us at any time by contacting dataprivacy@dasillyheads.com

• generating and analysing statistics regarding usage of this website, including the frequency of use of individual pages (where possible, personal data will be anonymised before being used for this purpose);

The legal bases on which we process your personal data are that this is necessary for:
• our legitimate interests in conducting our business in ensuring the proper management and functioning of DSH. We will not process your personal data for these purposes if to do so would constitute an unwarranted interference with your own interests, rights and freedoms

Facebook may be able to connect the data with your Facebook account and use the data for their own advertising purposes (in accordance with Facebook’s Data Use Policy).
