What information we collect

• Contact form submissions. Your name, email, phone number (if you give it) and message. Used only to reply to your enquiry.
• GPX / newsletter sign-ups. Email address, and name if supplied. Used to send the GPX file you asked for and occasional emails about new Wicklow walks.
• Accommodation / itinerary booking enquiries. Name, email, dates, group size, message. Forwarded directly to the partner property or used to build your custom itinerary.
• Analytics cookies. We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which walks are most read. This service uses cookies and may collect your anonymised IP address and browsing behaviour on this site. Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC under their privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

What we don't do

We don't sell your data. We don't share your contact details with advertisers. We don't profile you for retargeting. We don't run Facebook Pixel, Google Ads remarketing, or any other cross-site tracking.

How long we keep it

Contact-form submissions are held for two years then deleted. Newsletter subscribers are kept until they unsubscribe. Audio tour purchase records, where they exist, are held for the period required by Irish Revenue (six years after the end of the tax year).

Your rights under GDPR

You have the right to ask us for a copy of any personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected, to have it deleted, or to ask us to stop using it. Email nicky@murphyfurniture.ie with the subject "GDPR request" and we'll respond within 30 days. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.

Cookies

We use two cookies:

• Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*) — measures visits, popular pages, and how long people spend on the site. Google may process this data on servers outside the EU. You can opt out using Google's opt-out browser add-on.
• cookie-consent — a single cookie that remembers whether you've accepted or declined the cookie banner, so we don't show it again.

If you decline cookies, only the cookie-consent cookie is set.

Third-party services we link to

Accommodation "Book" buttons take you to the partner's own website (for example madelinesaccommodation.ie). Event "Buy Tickets" buttons take you to Eventbrite or the event organiser's own site. Once you click through, the partner's own privacy policy applies.

Changes to this policy

We update this policy when we add new features (for example, if we add a payment system for audio tours). The "last updated" date at the top will change. Material changes will be announced at the top of this page.
