Information we collect

We may collect information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, business name, project details and any message you send through our contact form or by email.

We may also receive basic technical information needed to operate and secure the website, such as browser type, device type and pages requested. We do not use this information to identify you personally.

Our contact form uses Netlify Forms, a hidden honeypot field and Netlify-provided reCAPTCHA to help prevent spam. Netlify processes and stores form submissions on our behalf.

How we use information

• To respond to enquiries and discuss potential projects.
• To provide quotes, proposals and production services.
• To maintain, secure and improve this website.
• To meet legal, accounting and administrative obligations.

Legal bases for processing

We process personal information where it is necessary to respond to your enquiry or perform a contract with you (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)), where we must comply with legal obligations such as accounting and tax records (Article 6(1)(c)), and for our legitimate interests in operating, securing and improving our business (Article 6(1)(f)). Where we rely on consent, such as for non-essential cookies, you can withdraw it at any time.

Sharing information

We do not sell personal information. We may share relevant information with trusted service providers who help us operate the website, manage enquiries or deliver agreed services. They may only use information for the services they provide to us.

Retention and security

We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected, including project administration and legal record keeping. We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect it, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your rights

Depending on your circumstances, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal information, to receive it in a portable format, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To make a request, email info@bluecherrymedia.ie and we will respond within one month as required by law. You can also contact the Data Protection Commission in Ireland if you have a concern about how your information is handled.

Cookies and analytics

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies and similar technologies as follows:

• Strictly necessary: small amounts of browser storage needed for core features such as navigation, the mobile menu and form security. These are essential for the website to work and do not require consent.
• Preferences: remembering choices such as your cookie consent settings.
• Analytics and performance: measuring how visitors use the website (for example pages visited, referring sites and approximate location) so we can improve it. Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them through our cookie banner, and we use privacy-friendly settings such as IP anonymisation where available. We do not use analytics information to identify you personally.

Third-party services: embedded videos on our portfolio pages use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode. When you play an embedded video, YouTube may set its own cookies and process data under its own terms, which you can review in Google's Privacy Policy. Where any of our service providers transfer data outside the European Economic Area, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.

Managing cookies: you can accept or reject non-essential cookies using the cookie banner shown when you first visit. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser cookies, and your browser settings let you block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the website works.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy when our website, services or legal obligations change. The latest version will always be published on this page.
