What we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Who is the data controller

The data controller for this site is Sunita Nawale (Galway, Ireland), operating as a sole trader under the iFeed brand. For any privacy question or to exercise the rights set out below, contact ifeed.eipfm@gmail.com.

2. What data is collected

2.1 Information you provide directly

If you fill in the registration form on /register, you submit:

• Your name (optional)
• Your email address (required)
• Your role / organisation (optional)
• Free-text description of what you are working on (optional)

If you contact us by email, we receive whatever you put in your message.

2.2 Information collected automatically

This site is hosted on Netlify. Netlify keeps standard server logs that may include IP address, browser user-agent, and request URL, used for security and platform-operations purposes. iFeed does not run third-party advertising trackers, behavioural analytics, or session-replay tools. There are no cookies set by iFeed itself; Netlify may set a small number of operational cookies for site delivery — see Netlify's privacy notice.

3. Why we use your data

The legal basis for processing personal data submitted via the registration form is your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) — you opted in by submitting the form. We use the data only to:

• Send you the iFeed weekly note and other infrequent direct correspondence you asked for.
• Reply to questions or messages you sent.
• Understand who is following the practice, in aggregate, to shape what gets published.

Data is not used for automated decision-making or profiling.

4. Sharing with third parties

iFeed does not sell, rent, or trade personal data. The processors who act on iFeed's behalf are:

• Netlify — site hosting and form-submission storage. Data flows to Netlify infrastructure.
• Google Workspace (Gmail) — when you email ifeed.eipfm@gmail.com, the email is processed and stored by Google.

Both Netlify and Google have their own GDPR-aligned data-processing terms; iFeed relies on those terms as part of its compliance posture.

5. Where data is stored

Form submissions are stored by Netlify. Email correspondence is stored by Google. Both providers may transfer data outside the European Economic Area; both rely on GDPR-recognised transfer mechanisms (Standard Contractual Clauses) for any such transfers.

6. How long we keep it

Email addresses on the registration list are retained for as long as you remain subscribed. You can request deletion at any time (see Section 8). Inbound email correspondence is retained as long as it is reasonably useful for the conversation in progress, then deleted on a rolling basis.

7. Your rights under GDPR

You have the right to:

• Access — ask for a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate data.
• Erasure ("right to be forgotten") — ask us to delete your data.
• Restriction — ask us to pause processing while a question is resolved.
• Portability — ask for your data in a machine-readable form.
• Objection — object to processing for any reason.
• Withdraw consent — at any time, with no consequence to anything that already happened lawfully.

To exercise any of these, email ifeed.eipfm@gmail.com. Responses will arrive within 30 days, in line with GDPR Art. 12(3).

8. Unsubscribing

Every email iFeed sends will carry an unsubscribe link. Alternatively, replying with the word "unsubscribe" or emailing the address above is sufficient.

9. Complaints to the supervisory authority

If you believe iFeed has handled your personal data unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission, the lead supervisory authority for iFeed. Contact details are at dataprotection.ie.

10. Changes to this notice

This notice will be updated as the practice evolves and as the legal landscape in Ireland and the EU continues to develop. The "last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the current version. Material changes will be highlighted in the iFeed weekly.
