    Dublin CemeteriesTrust is a not for profit organisation and a registered charity (Registered Charity Number 20009441; CHY 5849). The funds generated from our activities support the upkeep of our cemeteries to the highest standards. Dublin Cemeteries Trust is run by an executive management team and governed by the Dublin Cemeteries Committee, a voluntary not-for-profit body originally established by Daniel O'Connell in 1828. The Committee was subsequently re-established under the Dublin Cemeteries Committee Acts of 1846 and 1970.

    Dublin Cemeteries Trust have created this Data Privacy Statement as the controller of personal data for visitors to this website, for prospects, clients and former clients. This notice aims to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and to inform people dealing with us about the information we collect and process in connection with such interaction.

    This privacy statement sets out an explanation of what personal data about you we process, why we process your personal data, with whom your personal data is shared and a description of your rights with respect to your personal data.

    We need to keep and process certain personal data about you to manage our business, for management purposes, to comply with our legal obligations and, where necessary, to protect our legitimate business interests. We will collect and process personal data from you during your visit on this website, during our contractual relationship and following the termination of our contractual relationship.

    Personal data is normally obtained directly from you. In certain circumstances, it will, however, be necessary to obtain data from third parties, e.g. credit check references.

    The information we hold and process will be used for management and administrative purposes. We keep it and use it to enable us to run our business, manage our contractual relationship with you effectively, lawfully and appropriately and protect your rights and interests. This includes using your information to enable us to manage contracts, comply with legal obligations, pursue our legitimate interests and protect ourselves in the event of legal proceedings against the company.

    The uses we make of each category of your personal data, together with the lawful basis we rely on for those uses are set out in more details below.

    Where there is a need to process your data for a purpose other than those set out in the appendix or otherwise outlined to you, we will inform you of this.

    Your personal data may be disclosed to third parties where we are legally obliged to do so or where our contract requires or permits us to do so. For example, we pass on certain information to our accountant to fulfil our legal obligations.

    More detailed information on how we share your personal data is set out below.

    Our data-centres are located in Ireland, so generally, your personal data will not be transferred abroad.

    In some cases, you may decline to provide us with your personal data. If we believe that we require relevant personal data to effectively and properly manage our contractual relationship, we may not be able to continue our relationship with you.

    You will not be subject to automated decision making or profiling.
