Privacy Policy

This is a plain-language starting draft. Have it reviewed by a solicitor before launch to ensure it fully meets GDPR and Irish Data Protection requirements.

Who we are

qrrip.ie provides online memorial pages for deceased individuals. This policy explains what personal data we collect and how we use it. For any privacy question or request, contact us at privacy@qrrip.ie.

Information we collect

Account holders: your name, email address and an encrypted (hashed) password.

Memorial content: information you provide about a deceased person — their name, dates, life story, photographs and place of rest. Data protection law applies to living individuals; however, we treat memorial content responsibly and will act on requests from families (see below).

Contributions: if you submit a memorial, photo, message or correction as a guest, we store the name and any email you provide, together with your contribution.

Technical: to prevent abuse we keep a temporary, one-way hashed record derived from your IP address. We do not store raw IP addresses for this purpose, and these records are deleted automatically within 24 hours.

How we use it

To publish memorial pages, let account holders manage them, allow families and the public to contribute, moderate submissions before they appear, and protect the service from spam and abuse.

Public visibility

Approved memorial pages are public and may be indexed by search engines. Do not include information you do not wish to be public. Contributor names appear publicly alongside approved messages; contributor email addresses are never shown publicly.

Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and you may object to its processing. Family members of a deceased person may request correction or removal of a memorial page — use the “Report a problem” link on any page, or email us. We will respond within one month.

Retention

Memorial pages are intended to be permanent. You can delete your own pages at any time, and we will remove pages on a valid family request. Anti-abuse records are deleted automatically as described above.

Complaints

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie).
