Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-03-04

Guiderian provides independent commentary on broadband and mobile services in Ireland. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you. We aim for clarity and restraint in data collection and avoid practices that do not align with the purpose of informing readers. By using this site, you acknowledge that information may be processed as described here.

Data we collect. When you interact with our site, we may collect: technical information (IP address, device type, browser, pages visited, timestamps); limited contact details you choose to provide, such as your email address if you subscribe to updates; and aggregate statistics derived from analytics to understand which pages are helpful. We do not intentionally collect special category data. We ask that you avoid sharing sensitive information through open text fields.

How we use data. We use contact details to send opt‑in updates and respond to messages you initiate. Technical logs and analytics help operate, secure, and improve the site, including diagnosing issues, measuring audience interest in topics like Eir broadband offers 2026, and planning new guidance. We do not sell personal data. Disclosures, if any, are limited to service providers acting under our instructions for hosting, analytics, or email delivery, and only to the extent necessary for those services.

Cookies and similar technologies. Cookies support essential functions (e.g., remembering preferences) and analytics that help us understand site usage. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Our banner allows you to accept or decline optional cookies. Your choice is stored as a cookie named "cookieConsent" with a retention period of up to 365 days. Essential cookies may be required for core features such as security and load balancing.

Legal basis. Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, our processing may rely on: your consent (for subscriptions and optional cookies); legitimate interests (to maintain and improve the site, prevent abuse, and understand aggregated readership); and, where applicable, compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time by using unsubscribe options or contacting us.

Data retention. We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described, and then delete or anonymise it. Technical logs are typically short‑lived unless required for security investigations. Subscriber records are retained while you remain opted in. We maintain administrative backups with limited access and defined retention schedules.

Your rights. Subject to local laws, you may request access to your personal data, ask for corrections, request deletion, object to certain processing, or request portability. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe. If you believe your rights were not respected, you may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Exercising rights does not impact your access to general public information on this site.

International transfers. Our hosting and service providers may operate in multiple jurisdictions. Where transfers occur, we rely on appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law, such as contractual clauses. Technical measures and access controls help protect data in transit and at rest.

Security. We apply proportionate safeguards, including encryption in transit, access controls, and monitoring for anomalies. No system can be perfectly secure, so we encourage using current browsers and prudent security practices. We do not make guarantees of absolute protection but strive for responsible stewardship.

Third‑party links. Our site may reference other resources for context. Their privacy practices are their own; please review their notices. Internal pages like Legal and Contacts provide site‑specific context and ways to reach us.

Contact. For privacy questions or to exercise rights, email Guiderian@outlook.com or write to: Guiderian, 18 Merrion Square West, Dublin 2, D02 HN87, Ireland. Please include sufficient details for us to identify you in our systems (typically your email address) and the nature of your request.

Updates to this Policy. We may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law or our services. Material updates will be signposted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acknowledgment of the updated terms.
