Privacy policy

The short version: we collect what you type into our forms so we can reply to you, we don't run tracking cookies, and we never sell your details. The longer version is below.

Last updated: 7 July 2026

Who we are

This website is operated by Stacksmith Ltd ("Stacksmith", "we", "us"), a private company limited by shares registered in Ireland, with its registered office in Dublin. Stacksmith Ltd is the data controller for any personal data collected through this site — meaning the company, not any individual, is responsible for it. For anything to do with your data, you can reach us at hello@stacksmith.ie.

What we collect

Only what you give us. If you fill in an enquiry or contact form, that's your name, business name, email address, phone number and whatever you write in the message. If you email or ring us directly, we keep that correspondence.

We don't use analytics tools, advertising trackers or tracking cookies on this site. One technical note for completeness: our fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, so when a page loads, your browser makes a request to Google's servers, which sees your IP address the same way any web request does. That's covered by Google's privacy policy.

Why we use it

To reply to your enquiry, to prepare a quote if you ask for one, and to run any work we agree to do together. That's it. The legal bases are the steps needed before entering a contract with you, and our legitimate interest in answering the people who get in touch.

Who we share it with

Nobody, commercially — we never sell or rent your details. The only parties that touch your data are the service providers we need to operate, such as our website hosting and email providers, and they only process it on our behalf.

How long we keep it

Enquiries we keep for up to two years in case you come back to us. If you become a client, we keep records for the length of the work plus the periods Irish tax and company law require of a limited company — typically six years for invoices, contracts and accounting records under the Companies Act 2014 and Revenue rules. After that, it's deleted.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask us for a copy of the data we hold on you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, or object to how we're using it. Email hello@stacksmith.ie and we'll sort it — no forms, no run-around. If you're not happy with how we handle it, you can complain to the Data Protection Commission, Ireland's supervisory authority.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle data — say we add analytics some day — we'll update this page and the date at the top before we do it.
