Privacy Policy

This website is operated by Pat Rodgers for Chasing Tides.

When you use this website, place an order or contact me through the contact form, I may collect personal information including your name, email address, postal address, telephone number and details relating to your order.

I use this information only where necessary to:

  • process and deliver your order;

  • communicate with you about your purchase;

  • respond to enquiries submitted through the website;

  • keep records required for accounting, tax or legal purposes; and

  • operate and improve the website.

For purchases, personal information is processed because it is necessary to fulfil the contract between us. Where information must be retained for legal or accounting purposes, it is processed to comply with those obligations.

Payments are processed securely through Squarespace Payments. I do not receive or store your full credit or debit card details. Information may also be processed by Squarespace, which hosts this website and provides the online store, checkout and website and analytics services.

I do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Personal information will only be kept for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including any legal, accounting or tax requirements.

This website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some cookies are necessary for the website, shopping cart and checkout to function. Other analytics or performance cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the website. Where required, these will only be used with your consent. Squarespace uses both necessary cookies and, where enabled, analytics/performance cookies.

Under data protection law, you may have rights including the right to access, correct or erase your personal information, restrict or object to its processing, and in some circumstances obtain a copy of your data. You may also make a complaint to the Irish Data Protection Commission.

For any questions about your personal information, or to exercise your data protection rights, contact:
