Please read the following privacy statement to understand how we use and protect the information that you choose to provide to us.

Collection of Personal Data

We do not collect any personal information unless you voluntarily provide it by sending us an e-mail, participating in a survey, or completing an online form. Personal information submitted will not be transferred to any non-affiliated third parties unless otherwise stated at the time of collection. When a user submits personally identifiable information it is used only for the purpose stated at the time of collection. Your personal data may also be anonymised and used for statistical purposes. Unless required to do so by law, we will not sell or distribute any of the information you provide to us without your consent.

Log Files

When you visit our website, certain non-personal data is available to us through our internet service provider. This non-personal data is collected on a statistical, aggregate, non-individual basis. This information may include the IP address from which you access our website, the type of browser used to access our website, the type of operating system used to access our website, the “top-level” domain name used (ie, .com, .org, etc.), the date and time of your visit to our website and the number of pages you visited on our website.

We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.

Use of your information

Any information which you provide using the various forms on our website is not made available to any third parties other than as required by law and is only used by Alexandra College in line with the purposes for which you provided it or for any reasonably incidental purpose.  

Transfer to third countries

Personal data may also be transferred to organisations outside Ireland and outside the European Union. This may for example occur for the purposes of student application for college or university. Various teaching and learning applications of providers that are based outside the European Union are also used.

For such transfers of personal data outside the European Union, Alexandra College has implemented suitable safeguards in the form of standard contractual clauses where required under applicable data protection legislation. Where this is not the case the data is anonymised before transmission. More information on these transfers and suitable safeguards can be requested from the College at the contact details below.
