Information Collection 

We collect various types of information and in a number of ways: 

Legal Basis

There are three bases under which we may process your data:

When you make a purchase from us, you are entering into a contract with us. In order to perform this contract we need to process and store your data. For example we may need to contact you by email or telephone in the case of an item is out of stock, or in the case of problems with your payment.

In certain situations we collect and process your personal data for purposes that are in our legitimate organisational interests. However we only do this if there is no overriding prejudice to you by using your personal information in this way. 

For any situations where the two bases above are not appropriate, we will instead ask for your explicit consent before using your personal information in that specific
situation.

How do I withdraw my consent?

You can change your contact preferences or withdraw consent at any time by emailing [email protected]

Marketing Communications

We aim to communicate with you about the work that we do in ways that you find relevant, timely and respectful. To do this we use data that we have stored about you, such as what events you have booked for in the past, as well as any preferences you may have told us about. We use our legitimate organisational interest as the legal basis for communications by post and email. In the case of postal mailings, you may object to receiving these at any time using the contact details in this policy. In the case of email, we will give you an opportunity to opt out of receiving them during your first purchase with us. If you do not opt out, we will provide you with an option to unsubscribe in every email that we subsequently send you, or you can alternatively use the contact details at the end of this policy. 

How do we protect your information?

Irish Dresden takes the security of your data very seriously and aim to be open and transparent about how your data is collected and used. We employ appropriate physical and technical security measures, conduct staff training and generate organisation-wide awareness, and regular reviews of these responsibilities.

We maintain two main databases where your information is stored. Next to each of these main databases are the platform that we use to process and store the information:

Each of these platforms have been carefully selected to provide these services to Irish Dresden based on their suitability for our needs as well as their demonstrated commitment to the security and safety of our data. All of these databases are hosted offsite, not on servers on our premises. Only authorised, trained staff have access to these databases.

Using these platforms means that the data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination in the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

Irish Dresden is PCI DSS compliant via Stripe. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements designed to ensure that merchants and service providers adequately protect cardholder data. It defines a standard of due care and enforcement for protecting sensitive cardholder information. The standard applies to all entities that store, process, transmit or access cardholder data. These data security standards are developed and managed by an independent body that was created by the major payment card brands (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB.) to improve transaction security. Compliance with the PCI DSS standards is required of all merchants and service providers who store, process or transmit cardholder data. The requirements apply to all payment channels, including retail shops, mail / telephone order companies and e-commerce businesses. There are different requirements depending on a range of criteria, such as cardholder data storage, processing channels, security protocols, transaction volume, and so on.
