Privacy Policy

Nurney Plant and Civil Ltd ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit www.nurneyplantandcivil.ie or contact us about our services.

1. Who we are

Nurney Plant and Civil Ltd is a plant hire and civil engineering business based in Nurney, Co. Carlow, Ireland. We are the data controller for personal data collected through this website.

• Address: Nurney, Co. Carlow, Ireland
• Email: info@nurneyplantandcivil.ie
• Phone: 085 826 3985

2. What data we collect

Contact enquiries

When you submit the contact form or email us, we collect the information you provide — typically your name, phone number, email address, county, project type, rough start date, and a description of the works you need. We use this solely to respond to your enquiry and, if you become a customer, to deliver the work.

Website analytics (only with your consent)

If you accept analytics cookies via our consent banner, we use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymised information about how visitors use the site — pages viewed, approximate location (country/county level), device type, and referral source. IP addresses are anonymised. If you decline, no analytics data is collected.

Server logs

Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, keeps basic request logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp) for security, abuse prevention, and infrastructure monitoring. These logs are retained per Cloudflare's own policies and are not used by us for marketing.

3. Lawful basis for processing

• Legitimate interest — responding to your enquiry, carrying out requested works, and protecting the website from abuse.
• Consent — for analytics cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain, which will re-trigger the consent banner.
• Contract — when you become a customer, for invoicing and project delivery.
• Legal obligation — where we are required to retain information (for example for tax or construction records).

4. How long we keep your data

• Contact enquiries that do not lead to a job: up to 24 months, then deleted.
• Customer records (invoices, contracts): retained for 7 years to meet Irish tax and accounting obligations.
• Analytics data: Google Analytics retains aggregated data per the retention period set in our GA property (14 months by default).
• Server logs: per Cloudflare's retention policy.

5. Who we share data with

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers that help us run the website and business:

• Cloudflare — website hosting and delivery.
• Web3Forms — processes contact form submissions and forwards them to our email inbox.
• Google — Google Analytics, only if you accept analytics cookies.
• Our email provider — to receive and reply to your enquiry.
• Professional advisors (accountant, solicitor) where legally required.

Some of these providers may process data outside the European Economic Area; where this happens, transfers rely on the appropriate safeguards (such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses).

6. Your rights under GDPR

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Have inaccurate data corrected.
• Have your data deleted (where legally possible).
• Restrict or object to our processing.
• Have your data transferred (data portability).
• Withdraw consent at any time, where processing relies on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@nurneyplantandcivil.ie. We will respond within one month.

7. Cookies

This site uses two categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary — a small entry in your browser's local storage that remembers your consent choice so we do not re-prompt you on every visit. No identification is possible from this.
• Analytics (optional) — Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*). These only load if you click "Accept" on the consent banner.

You can clear cookies and local storage at any time from your browser settings to reset your choice.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including HTTPS on all pages, a managed hosting provider, and limited access to contact-form submissions. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we take this responsibility seriously.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page shows when it was most recently changed. Material changes will be announced on the homepage.

10. Complaints

If you believe we have mishandled your personal data, please contact us first at info@nurneyplantandcivil.ie. You also have the right to complain directly to the Irish Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.
