Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We may disclose some or all of your Personal Data to the following parties: SOLAS business units, SOLAS agents or service providers including Safe Pass trainers, your existing or potential employers, government and state authorities including in particular the Construction Industry Federation [CIF] and Credit Card Systems Ireland Ltd. We may also disclose your Personal Data to third parties if we are under a legal duty to disclose or share your Personal Data in order to comply with any legal or regulatory obligation or request or to perform a public function.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

You have the right to know whether your Personal Data are being processed by us, how we use your Personal Data and your rights in relation to your Personal Data. We comply with this by way of this Notice.

You have the right to request a copy of the Personal Data held by us about you
We will only charge you for making such an access request where we feel your request is unjustified or excessive.

You have the right to request that we amend any inaccurate Personal Data that we have about you. You have the right to ask us to erase your Personal Data where:
1.  it is no longer necessary to perform your contract with us;
2,  you object to the processing and we have no overriding legitimate grounds;
3.  your Personal Data has been unlawfully processed; or
4.  it must be erased to comply with a legal obligation.
You have the right to ask us to restrict processing your Personal Data in the following situations:
1.  where you contest the accuracy of your Personal Data;
2.  where the processing is unlawful and you do not want us to delete your Personal Data; or
3.  where we no longer need your Personal Data for the purposes of processing but you require the data in
relation to a legal claim.
When you exercise this right we may only store your Personal Data.
We may not further process the data unless you consent or the processing is necessary in relation to a legal claim or to protect the rights of another person or legal person or for reasons of important              public interest.
We will inform you before the processing restriction is lifted.
You may request us to provide you with your Personal Data which you have given us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you may request us to transmit your Personal Data directly to another controller, where this is technically feasible. This right only arises where:
1. we process your Personal Data on the legal basis that it is necessary to perform our contract with you; and
2. the processing is carried out by automated means.
