Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 August 2026

At The Kelu Project, we respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use this website and how that information may be used.

The Kelu Project is an independent website providing creative resources, information, articles, community-focused content and support for small businesses, individuals and organisations.

1. Information We May Collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may receive limited personal information that you voluntarily provide to us.

This may include:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Information included in a message or enquiry
• Information submitted through a newsletter subscription form
• Any other information you choose to provide voluntarily

You do not normally need to provide personal information simply to browse the publicly available areas of this website.

2. How We Use Your Information

Where you provide personal information, we may use it to:

• Respond to enquiries or messages
• Provide information you have requested
• Send newsletters where you have chosen to subscribe
• Maintain and administer the website
• Improve the website, resources and visitor experience
• Meet legal or regulatory obligations where applicable

We will not use your personal information for unrelated purposes without an appropriate legal basis or, where required, your consent.

3. Newsletter Subscriptions

If you choose to subscribe to The Kelu Project newsletter, the information you provide will be used to send the newsletter and related communications for which you have subscribed.

You can unsubscribe from newsletter communications at any time. If you no longer wish to receive communications, you can contact us using the details provided on the website.

4. Contact Forms and Enquiries

If you contact The Kelu Project through a website form or by email, we may retain the information necessary to respond to your enquiry and maintain appropriate records.

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

5. Cookies and Technical Information

Like most websites, this website may use technical information necessary for the website to operate correctly.

Depending on the services and features active on the website, technical information may include information such as browser type, device information, approximate location, IP address and pages accessed.

Cookies may also be used where necessary for website functionality or where a third-party service incorporated into the website uses them.

We aim to minimise the collection of personal information and do not use cookies simply for unnecessary data collection.

6. Third-Party Services and Links

The website may contain links to external websites and services, including social-media platforms, charities, organisations, educational resources and other useful websites.

Once you leave The Kelu Project website, the privacy practices of the external website you visit will apply. We recommend checking the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information.

The Kelu Project is not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of external websites.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

8. How Long We Keep Information

Personal information will only be retained for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

When information is no longer required, reasonable steps will be taken to delete or securely dispose of it.

9. Your Data Protection Rights

Under applicable Irish and European data-protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you may have rights including:

• The right to access personal information held about you
• The right to request correction of inaccurate information
• The right to request deletion of personal information in appropriate circumstances
• The right to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances
• The right to object to certain processing
• The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• The right to data portability where applicable

These rights are subject to applicable legal conditions and exemptions.

10. Children's Privacy

The Kelu Project website is not specifically directed towards children and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, services or applicable legal requirements.

The date shown at the beginning of this policy indicates when it was most recently updated.
