Browser and device information;

Date and time of access;

Pages requested;

We may use personal data to:
-
Respond to enquiries;

Discuss our services where you have requested information;

Take steps at your request before entering into an engagement;
-
Arrange meetings and continue relevant correspondence;

Operate, secure and maintain the website;

5. Our lawful bases
Depending on the circumstances, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases:
-
Pre-contractual steps: where you ask us to provide information or take steps before entering into an engagement;
-
Legitimate interests: including responding to business enquiries, communicating about our services, operating our business and protecting our website;
-
Legal obligations: where processing is required by Irish or European law or applicable regulatory requirements; and
-
Consent: where consent is specifically requested for an optional purpose.
You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
6. Contact enquiries
Information submitted through our contact form is used to respond to your enquiry and communicate with you about the matter you raised.
Submitting an enquiry does not create a client, adviser, fiduciary, Listing Sponsor or other professional relationship between you and Beansprout. Such a relationship will only arise through an appropriate written engagement.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
We do not intentionally use analytics, advertising, profiling or behavioural-marketing cookies on the public website.
The website and its hosting or security systems may use technologies that are strictly necessary to:
-
Deliver the website;
-
Maintain security;
-
Prevent misuse;
-
Balance website traffic; or
-
Remember an action specifically requested by a visitor.
Strictly necessary technologies cannot be disabled through a consent tool because they are required for the service to function.
If we introduce analytics, advertising or other non-essential technologies, we will update this policy and obtain consent where required before activating them.
8. Recipients and service providers
We may share personal data where reasonably necessary with:
-
Website hosting and infrastructure providers;
-
Email and communications providers;
-
Website maintenance, security and backup providers;
-
Professional advisers, including legal, accounting and compliance advisers;
-
Regulators, courts, public authorities or law-enforcement bodies where required; and
-
Other parties where disclosure is required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
Service providers acting on our behalf may only process personal data for the agreed purposes and subject to appropriate contractual and security requirements.
We do not sell personal data.
9. International transfers
Some technology or service providers may process information outside the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we will ensure that the transfer is permitted under applicable data-protection law and that an appropriate transfer mechanism is used where required. This may include an adequacy decision or approved standard contractual clauses.
10. Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary.
As a general policy:
-
Enquiries that do not result in an engagement may be retained for up to 24 months after the last substantive communication;
-
Information connected with an engagement may be retained for the duration of the relationship and afterward where required by legal, contractual, regulatory or professional obligations;
-
Security and technical logs are retained only for an appropriate operational and security period; and
-
Information relevant to a dispute or legal claim may be retained until the matter and applicable limitation periods have ended.
Information may be deleted or anonymised earlier where it is no longer required.
11. Security
We use appropriate organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
No internet-based system is completely secure. You should not use the general website contact form to transmit confidential transaction documents, inside information or highly sensitive personal data.
