Document background
A 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 individuals whose personal data is being processed, explaining in clear and plain language how their data is collected, used, shared, and protected. The document is essential for any organization operating in Ireland or processing data of Irish residents, as it helps ensure compliance with transparency obligations under Article 13 and 14 of GDPR. The Privacy Notice should be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in data processing activities or regulatory requirements. It serves multiple purposes: informing data subjects of their rights, documenting compliance for authorities, and establishing trust with stakeholders through transparent communication about data processing practices.
