This Privacy Policy explains what information The Irish Chaplain collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. My aim is to keep this simple and honest, and to collect as little as possible.
Who I am
This website, IrishChaplain.com, is run by Denis Lynch (The Irish Chaplain). If you have any questions about privacy, you can reach me through the contact form on this site.
Information you choose to provide
When you contact me through the website, I collect the information you choose to share — typically your name, email address, and message, and a phone number if you include one. Messages sent through the contact form are stored on this website and delivered to my email so I can respond.
Please avoid sending highly sensitive medical, financial, or confidential details through the website contact form. If we need to discuss something sensitive, we can arrange a more private and appropriate way to talk.
I use the information you provide only to respond to your message, to provide the information or support you have asked for, or to continue a conversation you have started. I do not sell your personal information, and I do not use your messages for advertising.
Newsletter and updates
If you choose to subscribe through the sign-up form, I collect your email address so I can send occasional reflections and updates. You can unsubscribe at any time, and I will not use your email address for any other purpose.
Analytics and cookies
This site uses Google Site Kit (Google Analytics and Search Console) to understand basic, aggregated information such as which pages are visited, general device or browser type, approximate location, and how visitors arrive at the site. This helps me improve the site. These tools may set cookies. The site also uses essential cookies needed for it to function, and administrator login cookies that apply only to me.
Spam protection
To protect the contact form and the site from spam and abuse, submissions may be checked using Akismet, an automated spam-detection service.
Comments
Comments are not currently enabled for visitors on this site. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated to explain what information is collected.
How long information is kept
Messages you send through the contact form may be kept as part of ordinary correspondence so I can follow up, unless you ask me to delete them. If you subscribe to updates, your email is kept until you unsubscribe.
Your choices
You can ask me what information I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it, and I will do so unless I am required to keep it for legal or security reasons. To make a request, just use the contact form.
Changes to this policy
I may update this policy from time to time to keep it accurate. The latest version will always be posted on this page.
