The short version
We don't collect your personal data ourselves. There are no accounts and no sign-up forms, and whatever you type into the calculators stays in your browser.
The site shows ads from Google AdSense. Google and its partners can use cookies and data such as your IP address to show and measure those ads. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland they ask for your consent first, and you can change your choice any time with Privacy and cookie settings at the bottom of every page.
We also use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read, never who you are. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland it sets no cookies unless you consent in the same message; the cookie policy has the details.
Who we are
Redundancy Ireland (redundancytaxireland.ie) is an independent information website about redundancy and public sector pay in Ireland. We are not part of the Irish Government or any state body. You can contact us at info@redundancytaxireland.ie.
What we don't collect
- No names, email addresses or personal details: the site has no accounts or forms.
- No calculator data: your pay, years of service and other figures are processed only on your device and never leave your browser.
Advertising
Ads are served by Google AdSense, provided in Europe by Google Ireland Limited. When a page loads, your browser contacts Google's servers, and Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers, your IP address and information about the page you are reading to show ads, measure them, prevent fraud and, if you agree, personalise them.
For visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google shows a consent message before using data for purposes that need consent, and personalised ads rely on that consent. Google's message explains that some partners may process limited data on the basis of legitimate interest, which you can object to under Manage options.
Google handles this data under its own privacy policy. How it uses data from sites like this one is explained in How Google uses information from sites that use its services, and you can manage ad personalisation in My Ad Center. We do not receive your personal data from Google, only totals such as how many ads were shown.
What's stored on your device
- Your checklist ticks on the "What you're owed" page, kept in your browser's local storage so they're still there when you come back. We never see them.
- Your consent choice, stored by Google's consent message so it doesn't ask again on every page.
- Advertising cookies set by Google and its partners, as described above.
The full list and how to clear it are in the cookie policy.
Things outside our control
- Hosting logs. Like almost every website, the server that hosts this site may keep standard technical logs (such as IP addresses) for security. These are managed by our hosting provider and deleted on their normal schedule.
- Fonts. The font is served from this domain, not from Google Fonts.
- Links to other sites. We link to official sources like Revenue and Citizens Information. Once you leave our site, their privacy policies apply.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have rights over your personal data, including access, correction, deletion and withdrawing consent. We don't hold personal data ourselves, but if you believe we have any data about you, email us and we'll help. For the data used for advertising, change or withdraw your consent with Privacy and cookie settings at the bottom of any page, or contact Google through its privacy policy. You can also complain to the Data Protection Commission, Ireland's supervisory authority.
Changes to this policy
If the site changes what it uses or shares, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
