Privacy Policy
Club Óige (“the Club,” “we,” “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our members and their families. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why, and how it’s handled.
What we collect
This website is primarily informational. It does not host or store member registration, payment, or vetting data directly. Instead:
Registration: handled via an external Google Form. When you fill this out, your information is submitted to and stored by Google, subject to Google’s own Privacy Policy, not this website.
Payments (membership fees, club events and donations): made through PayPal on our Make A Payment page. Your card or PayPal account details are entered in PayPal’s own secure window and handled by PayPal, subject to PayPal’s own Privacy Statement. This website does not see or store your payment details. PayPal shares with the club only what we need to record the payment, such as your name, email address and the amount paid.
Garda Vetting and Tusla Children First compliance: handled entirely in person and through Tusla/An Garda Síochána’s own official processes at the registration evening in Ballingeary. No vetting information is submitted through or stored on this website.
Website cookies and analytics: this website uses a small number of cookies needed for the site to work properly, such as loading pages correctly, and may measure visitor numbers and site performance anonymously. When you use the payment buttons, PayPal may set its own cookies to process your payment securely. We do not use cookies to identify individual visitors or for advertising purposes.
Legal basis
Where the club itself processes member data (via the linked Google Form and membership administration), this is based on: consent (given at registration), legitimate interest (running the club safely), and legal obligation (safeguarding and vetting requirements under Irish law). This website’s role is to link to and describe those processes, not to directly collect the data itself.
Your rights
Parents/guardians may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their child’s personal data at any time, subject to our safeguarding obligations.
Photos & Media
Photos of members may be used on this website or in club materials only where explicit parental/guardian consent has been given as part of registration. Consent can be withdrawn at any time by contacting us.
Data Sharing
We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. Data may be shared only where required with:
•
Tusla and An Garda Síochána, for safeguarding and vetting compliance.
•
PayPal, our payment processor, solely to process membership fees, event fees and donations.
•
Muintearas, Comharchumann Forbartha Mhúscraí, or Cork ETB, where relevant to funding or programme support.
