Last updated: 2 November 2025
1. Introduction and compliance
This Privacy Policy describes how YoureGrand.ie (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects personal data. We are committed to handling your data in an open and transparent manner, in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the laws of the Republic of Ireland.
2. Data we collect and why
YoureGrand.ie primarily functions as a directory and does not require user registration. However, we process data in two main ways:
A. Automatically collected data
- What is collected: Limited technical information (e.g. anonymised IP address, browser, device and usage stats) via Firebase Hosting and Analytics.
- Purpose: To improve performance, keep the site secure and prevent abuse.
B. Data you submit to us
- What is collected: Information you provide if you use the Submit a Freebie flow or contact us by email (typically your name, email address and freebie details).
- Legal basis: Your consent (to contact you) and our legitimate interest (to verify listings and respond).
3. Cookies and tracking
We use essential cookies to keep the site working, and analytics tools to understand how people use YoureGrand.ie and improve it.
By using the site, you consent to this, but you can disable cookies in your browser. Doing so may affect some features or performance.
4. Data sharing and security
We do not sell your personal data or share it with third parties for marketing.
We may use trusted providers (such as Firebase/Google) for hosting, analytics and infrastructure. These providers are required to handle data in line with GDPR and have appropriate security in place.
5. Your rights under GDPR
You have rights in relation to your personal data, including:
- Access – ask for a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Rectification – ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure (‘right to be forgotten’) – request deletion of your data, subject to legal obligations.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below and we’ll respond as soon as we can.
6. Contact for privacy inquiries

We aim to acknowledge data requests within 7 days and respond fully within 30 days, where possible.
