Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2025

At Rythmend Izy, we believe transparency builds trust. This policy explains how we handle your information when you use our educational services.

We're based in Ireland and follow GDPR requirements. But more than ticking legal boxes, we want you to understand exactly what happens with your data and why we need it.

Who We Are

Rythmend Izy operates from Mweelagarraun, Kilnamona, Co. Clare, V95 XY88, Ireland. We provide educational courses focused on introducing people to investing concepts.

For privacy questions or to exercise your rights, reach us at [email protected] or call +353429327235.

  • Your name and email address
  • Phone number if you provide it
  • Payment information when you enroll in courses
  • Messages you send through our contact forms
  • Course progress and quiz responses

Technical Information We Gather

Like most websites, we automatically collect some technical details:

  • IP address and general location data
  • Browser type and device information
  • Pages you visit and time spent on them
  • How you found our site

This helps us fix technical issues and understand which content works best.

How We Use Your Information

Purpose Legal Basis

Processing payments securely Contract performance
Sending course updates and materials Contract performance
Responding to your questions Legitimate interest
Improving our educational content Legitimate interest
Marketing communications (with consent) Consent

We never sell your personal information. Ever. That's not our business model and it never will be.

Who Sees Your Data

We share information only when necessary:

Service Providers

We work with third-party companies that help us operate. They process data on our behalf under strict agreements:

  • Payment processors for secure transactions
  • Email service providers for course communications
  • Hosting companies for our learning platform
  • Analytics tools to understand site performance

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by Irish or EU law, court orders, or to protect our legal rights. This rarely happens, but we're required to mention it.

Business Transfers

If Rythmend Izy merges with another company or gets acquired, your data would transfer to the new owner. We'd notify you beforehand.

Your Rights Under GDPR

Living in the EU gives you strong privacy rights. Here's what you can do:

Access Your Data

Request a copy of everything we hold about you. We'll provide it within 30 days in a readable format.

Correct Mistakes

If something's wrong in your profile or records, let us know and we'll fix it promptly.

Delete Your Information

Ask us to erase your data. We'll comply unless we have legal obligations to keep certain records (like financial transactions for tax purposes).

Restrict Processing

You can limit how we use your data while we resolve a dispute or verify accuracy.

Data Portability

Get your data in a machine-readable format to transfer elsewhere.

Object to Processing

Stop us from using your data for marketing or other purposes based on legitimate interests.

To exercise any right, email [email protected] with your request. We'll respond within one month. If we can't help, you can complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission.

How We Protect Your Data

Security matters, especially with financial education content. We implement:

  • SSL encryption for all data transmission
  • Secure servers with regular security audits
  • Access controls limiting who sees your information
  • Regular backups with encrypted storage
  • Employee training on data protection

No system is 100% secure. If we detect a breach affecting your data, we'll notify you within 72 hours as GDPR requires.

How Long We Keep Data

We don't hoard information forever. Here's our retention schedule:

  • Active students: We keep your data while you're enrolled and for 2 years after your last course access
  • Financial records: Held for 7 years to comply with Irish tax law
  • Marketing contacts: Deleted within 3 years of last engagement if you don't opt back in
  • Support tickets: Kept for 3 years then anonymized

After these periods, we either delete your data or anonymize it so it can't identify you.

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies to make the site work properly and understand how people use it.

Essential Cookies

These keep you logged in and remember your preferences. The site won't function without them.

Analytics Cookies

We track which pages get visited and where people struggle. This helps us improve course content.

Your Cookie Choices

Most browsers let you block cookies, but some features won't work. You can adjust settings in your browser preferences.

International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers operate outside Ireland. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure:

  • Adequate protection through EU-approved mechanisms
  • Standard contractual clauses with overseas processors
  • Compliance with GDPR transfer requirements

Your data receives the same protection regardless of where it's processed.

Children's Privacy

Our courses target adults interested in investing. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.

If we discover we've accidentally gathered information from a child, we'll delete it immediately. Parents who spot this issue should contact us right away.

Marketing Communications

We'll send course updates if you're enrolled. For promotional emails about new courses or content, we need your explicit consent.

Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. Click it and you're off the list within 48 hours. You'll still get essential course-related messages.

Changes to This Policy

We update this policy occasionally to reflect new practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll email active users and post a notice on our site.

The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when we last revised this document. Check back periodically if you're curious about changes.
