INFORMATION ABOUT OUR USE OF COOKIES

Our website uses cookies and other similar technology to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our site and also allows us to improve our website. A 'cookie' is a small data file that is placed on your computer or mobile device (“device”). It allows a website to remember your actions or preferences until the cookie is deleted or expires. Some of the cookies we use are essential for our website to work. Our “website” includes this website, all our associated sites and our social media pages. We also use some non-essential cookies to collect information to help us improve the website.

We use cookies on this website to help you navigate our website efficiently, perform certain functions and to collect site statistics. These cookies do not store any personal information that would, on its own, allow us to identify individual users of this service without your permission.

We use a number of third party suppliers who also set cookies on this website on our behalf in order to deliver the services that they are providing. The tables below set out, for each category of cookie, the specific cookies we and our suppliers use, the provider, the purpose of each cookie and how long it stays on your device. If you would like more information about the cookies used by these suppliers, as well as information on how to opt-out, please see the links provided in the tables and in the “Manage Your Cookie Preferences” section below.

Please be aware that restricting cookies may impact on the functionality of the website and could mean that key features do not work properly. We strongly recommend allowing cookies from this website so that we can provide you with a full service.

HOW WE USE COOKIES

Cookies play an important role in helping us provide effective and safe services. Below is a description of the commonly used cookie types, the purposes that apply to them, and the specific cookies set in each category.

Necessary Cookies

Some cookies are essential to the operation of our website and services and make it usable and secure by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. We use those cookies in a number of different ways, including:

• Authentication. To remember your login state so you don't have to log in as you navigate through our website and dashboard.

• Fraud Prevention and Detection. Cookies and similar technologies that we deploy through our website help us learn things about computers and web browsers used to access the services. This information helps us monitor for and detect potentially harmful or illegal use of our services.

• Security. To protect user data from unauthorized access.

• Functionality. To keep our website and services working correctly, like showing you the right information for your selected location.

Necessary cookies cannot be switched off, as the website cannot function properly without them.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies are used by us to remember your preferences and to recognise you when you return to our services.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our services. We use those cookies in a number of different ways, including:

• Website Features and Services. To remember how you prefer to use our services so that you don't have to reconfigure your settings each time you log into your account.

• To Analyse and Improve Our Services. To make our website and services work better for you. Cookies help us understand how people reach our website. They give us insights into improvements or enhancements we need to make to our website and services.

• Pixel tags (also known as web beacons and clear GIFs). May be used in connection with some services to, among other things, track the actions of users (such as email recipients), measure the success of our marketing campaigns and compile statistics about usage of the services and response rates.

• Third Party Analytics. Through third party analytics sites in order to collect and analyse information about the use of the services and report on activities and trends. This service may also collect information regarding the use of other sites, apps and online resources. See further details below on how to manage these cookies.

Advertising Cookies

We and our service providers will use cookies and similar technologies on veridraft.com to direct our ads to you through targeted advertisements for our services on other sites you visit and to measure your engagement with those ads.

The specific third-party cookies listed above may change from time to time as our advertising and analytics partners update their technology. This policy is reviewed periodically to keep the tables current.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION GATHERED

The information we collect may include some personal data. Our use of necessary cookies involves processing the following personal data:

• your IP address

• your approximate location based on your IP address at the time you are browsing

The lawful basis for processing of personal data relating to necessary cookies is our legitimate interests in administering and securing our website, making it available to you and understanding the needs of our website visitors.

Other (optional) cookies process the following personal data:

• the date, time and duration of visits

• the number of pages viewed

• the amount of time spent on the website

The lawful basis for processing of personal data relating to optional cookies is your opt-in consent which you grant when you click “I accept” on our website cookie banner, or select specific categories in our Cookie Preference Centre.

MANAGE YOUR COOKIE PREFERENCES

We want you to be in control of your cookie choices. You can manage your preferences in the following ways:

However, if you wish to restrict or block the cookies which are set by this website, or indeed any other website, you can do this through your browser settings, or through our Cookie Preference Centre described above. The help function within your browser should tell you how. You can also decline to consent to optional cookies (in which case, no optional cookies will be placed on your device).

You may wish to visit www.aboutcookies.org which contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wide variety of browsers. You will also find details on how to delete cookies from your computer as well as more general information about cookies.

To the extent that the use of cookies on our website involves the processing of personal data, please see our website privacy notice for details of your rights as well as other information relating to how we protect your personal data.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

In addition to the third parties referred to in the tables above, we may disclose personal data to:

• third parties, including cloud service providers, who provide a service to us

• a public authority in the event that we are required to do so by law

• a third party where we are under a legal obligation to transfer it to that third party or where we provide it on behalf of a client who is under such legal obligation

• a prospective seller or buyer of any of our assets or business

• a third party where it is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person

To the limited extent that it is necessary to transfer personal data outside of the EEA, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the privacy and integrity of such personal data, including standard contractual clauses under Article 46.2 of the GDPR. Please contact us if you wish to obtain information concerning such safeguards (see Contact Us below).

DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

To the extent that we process personal data as a result of your cookie preferences and we are a controller of that personal data, you may request access to, rectification, or erasure of your personal data, or restriction of processing or object to processing of your personal data, as well as the right to data portability. In each case, these rights are subject to restrictions as laid down by law. The following is a summary of your rights:

• the right of access enables you to receive a copy of your personal data

• the right to rectification enables you to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you

• the right to erasure enables you to ask us to delete your personal data in certain circumstances

• the right to restrict processing enables you to ask us to halt the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances

• the right to object enables you to object to us processing your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests (or those of a third party)

• the right to data portability enables you to request us to transmit personal data that you have provided to us, to a third party without hindrance, or to give you a copy of it so that you can transmit it to a third party, where technically feasible

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us (see Contact Us below). We will respond to your request within one month. That period may be extended by two further months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests. We will inform you of any such extension within one month of receipt of your request. We may request proof of identification to verify your request. We have the right to refuse your request where there is a basis to do so in law, or if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, or to the extent necessary for important objectives of public interest.

In limited circumstances (such as our use of social media), we may act as a joint controller with another party. In such circumstances, upon your request to exercise any of the above rights we will advise you if there is another controller who you should contact. Please note that any other joint controller will also have its own privacy policy and cookie policy.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission (here), if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES

Our website may, from time to time, contain links to and from other websites. If you follow a link to any of those websites, please note that those websites have their own cookie policies and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for those policies. Please check those policies before you submit any personal data to those websites.

SECURITY AND WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We are committed to protecting the security of your personal data. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal data from unauthorised access and use. As effective as modern security practices are, no physical or electronic security system is entirely secure. We cannot guarantee the complete security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. We have implemented strict internal guidelines to ensure that your privacy is safeguarded at every level of our organisation. We will continue to revise policies and implement additional security features as new technologies become available. Where we have given you a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping that password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to our website. Any transmission of personal data is at your own risk. Once we receive your personal data, we use appropriate security measures to seek to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure.

However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including strictly necessary cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our website.
