Your privacy.

Who we are

This website is run by Port Douglas Contractors Ltd, trading as PD Contractors (CRO 298927), Unit 1, Summerhill Business Park, Crannagh More, Athlone, Co. Roscommon, N37 A9P9, Ireland. We are the data controller for any personal information you send us through it. For anything about your information, email info@pdcontractors.ie or call +353 (0)90 646 5720.

Cookies and tracking

By default, this website does not set cookies and loads no analytics or advertising. Some deployments of this site switch on analytics (Google Analytics / GA4) and advertising (Google Ads) measurement through Google Tag Manager; where that is off, nothing in this section applies to your visit. Where it is on, you are asked first: a banner lets you accept all or reject all, and analytics and advertising cookies are only set if you accept. If you reject, or make no choice, none are set. Either way we also set one cookie of our own, pd_consent, to remember your choice for 6 months. Where cookies need your consent, our lawful basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Regulation 5 of the ePrivacy Regulations 2011, S.I. No. 336 of 2011); the consent cookie itself, and the staff sign-in cookie below, are strictly necessary and need no consent. You can change your mind at any time using Cookie settings in the footer of every page. Our cookie policy sets all of this out in full, including what is set if you accept.

Who handles your information for us

Our website is hosted by Fly.io, which processes the technical information needed to deliver pages on our behalf, under contract and only on our instructions. Where analytics is switched on and you accept, Google Ireland Ltd processes analytics and advertising information under its own privacy policy, for the purposes we have configured in Google Tag Manager. Where email delivery is switched on, your enquiry is also sent through our own Google Workspace mailbox over SMTP, which makes Google a processor for that email.

Enquiries

When you send the enquiry form, we receive your name, email address and message and, if you give them, your company, phone number, what you are enquiring about, and the page of this site you sent it from. We use them only to answer you and, where it follows, to discuss or deliver your project. Our lawful basis is taking steps at your request before a contract, or our legitimate interest in replying to people who contact us. We also run an automated spam and bot check on every submission; a submission it flags is recorded as closed and is not emailed. While your enquiry is being sent, we use your IP address briefly to limit how many submissions one visitor can make in a short time; it is not stored as part of your enquiry.

Your enquiry is recorded on our own server, in a log only the company can read, for up to a year, after which it is deleted automatically. Where email delivery is switched on, it is also emailed to our office inbox, hosted in our own Google Workspace account; from there we keep it for as long as we need it to deal with your enquiry and any resulting project, then in line with our records obligations, generally up to 6 years after a contract ends.

Job applications

If you apply for a role by emailing us a CV, it goes straight to our own mailbox from your own mail app; we do not run a separate applicant tracking system. We use it to consider you for the role you applied for and, if you ask us to keep it on file, for suitable roles later. We keep a CV for up to 12 months after the role is filled unless you ask us to keep it longer, then delete it. You can ask us to delete it sooner at any time.

Technical information

Like any website, our server and hosting provider handle the technical details your browser sends in order to deliver a page, such as your IP address and browser type, under our legitimate interest in running and securing the site. We do not use this to identify you or build a profile.

Maps and external links

The map link opens Google Maps, and only if you choose to follow it. Nothing is loaded from Google, or from anyone else, until you do — at which point their privacy practices apply rather than ours.

International transfers

Google and Fly.io may process information outside the European Economic Area. Where they do, they rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses to do so.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it, delete it, restrict how we use it, object to it, or receive it in a portable format. Where we rely on your consent — for analytics and advertising cookies — you can withdraw it at any time using Cookie settings, without affecting anything done before you withdrew it. We do not make decisions about you by automated means, and we do not sell your personal information. Contact us using the details above; we aim to respond within one month. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Data Protection Commission, 21 Fitzwilliam Square South, Dublin 2, D02 RD28, dataprotection.ie.
