Who the controller is

Finnegan Maguire Solicitors, of Killarney Road, Killorglin, Co. Kerry, is the data controller for the personal data described here. Questions about data protection go to Siobhán Moriarty, principal, at go@splash.ie or 0818 44 55 66.

What we collect

Your name, address, contact details, date of birth and PPS number. Identification documents, and evidence of the source of funds where a transaction is involved. Financial and property information relevant to the matter. Correspondence between us, and with other parties.

Some matters require special category data, for example health information in a capacity or family matter. We collect that only where it is necessary for the legal work and we handle it accordingly.

Why we hold it

Who we share it with

Only where it is necessary for your matter or required of us. That may include the solicitor for the other party, counsel, a lender, Revenue, Tailte Eireann, a court office, the Probate Office, and where relevant your accountant or estate agent. We use a small number of service providers, including our practice management and email providers, who process data on our behalf under contract. All of them store data within the European Economic Area.

We do not sell personal data and we do not use it for marketing without your consent.

How long we keep it

Closed files are retained for 7 years and then destroyed securely. Anti money laundering records are kept for the period the legislation requires. Original documents such as wills and title deeds are held until you or a person entitled asks for their release.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to erase it, ask us to restrict how we use it, object to our using it, and ask for it in a portable format. Some of these rights are limited where we are required to keep records, or where legal professional privilege applies. Write to go@splash.ie and we will respond within one month.
