This Privacy Policy explains how The Irish Fashion Surprise (operated by Aisling O'Donnell) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website, mysteryboxireland.com. We are committed to respecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

• IP address and approximate location
• Browser type and version
• Operating system

How We Use Information

The information collected is used solely for the following purposes:

We do not use this data to identify individuals, nor do we sell or share it for marketing purposes outside the scope of the services described below.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and analyze site usage.

We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a set period). These cookies are used for:

• Remembering your language preference
• Enabling essential website functions
• Collecting anonymous analytics data

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features on our site.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to help us operate and improve our website. These services may collect data independently under their own privacy policies:

• Google Analytics: Used to analyze website traffic anonymously. Google may collect IP addresses and usage data, but we have enabled IP anonymization to protect your privacy.
• Advertising networks: We may display ads through third-party ad networks. These networks may use cookies to serve relevant content, but we do not share personal data with them.
• Payment processors: When you purchase a mystery box, payment information is handled securely by external providers (e.g., Stripe or PayPal) and is not stored on our servers.

Data Security

We take the security of your information seriously. Although we do not store personal data in databases, we implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect our website and server logs from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. All data transmissions are encrypted using standard HTTPS protocols.

• The right to object to data processing
• The right to withdraw consent (where consent is the legal basis)

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month. Please note that since we do not collect or store personal data beyond server logs and anonymized analytics, your rights may be limited to data collected by third parties.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under this age. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us immediately and we will delete such data.
