Document background
The External Privacy Notice is a mandatory document required under both the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Irish data protection law. It must be provided to data subjects when collecting their personal data, whether directly or indirectly. The notice should be easily accessible, written in clear and plain language, and contain all information required under Articles 13 and 14 of GDPR, as well as any additional requirements under Irish law. This document is essential for any organization operating in Ireland that processes personal data, as it demonstrates transparency and accountability while helping to fulfill legal obligations. The External Privacy Notice should be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in processing activities, organizational practices, or legal requirements.
