1 - What is Personal Data?
Personal Data is any information that can identify you or information relating to you that allows us to identify you. This can be either directly or indirectly from that data alone or in combination with other identifiers we possess or can reasonably access.
2 - How do we use your Personal Data?
In general, you can come to our website to browse our products, without ever telling us who you are. If you want to make a purchase from The Dublin Mint Office however, we will need certain personal information such as your name, telephone number, email address, payment address and wherever you want your purchase delivered to. In addition we may, from time to time, collect information about our customers via order forms, media advertisements, coupons, emails, questionnaires, competitions, telephone conversations and surveys.
All of this information is kept on secure servers, complying with all applicable data protection and consumer legislation, and we treat all personal information as fully confidential. We will use what you provide us to:
To send your order to you and collect payment.
To produce and personalise (if required) your order
To keep you up to date with the progress of your order
To ensure we contact you through your preferred means
We keep a record of what you have bought, to enable us:
To ensure the guarantee periods are met
To keep a record of your payments and instalment plans
To send you information on other products we think may be of interest, based on previous purchases
We keep a record of previous offers we may have sent you to avoid sending the same offer again, which also helps reduce our environmental impact.
We keep a brief record of any correspondence or telephone calls we may have had with you so that we may always strive to help you with any question.
If you have said we can, we will send you letters, emails, SMS text messages or get in touch with a telephone call with you from time to time so that we can let you know about our new products, services and anything exciting we have got going on. You will only receive these marketing messages if you gave us permission to by opting in to specific communication means; you can stop receiving them at any time with the right to opt-out - all you have to do is:
Click the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any of our promotional emails and update your contact preferences
Text “STOP” to the SMS number to opt-out of text messages

The Dublin Mint Office follows best practice guidance across all marketing communications. However, if you inform us that you no longer wish to receive marketing emails and/or telephone calls you will stop receiving them within 7 Days of your request being received. We will still hold your email address (unless you ask us to remove it) to contact you about customer service related issues - dispatch updates for example.
If you inform us you no longer wish to receive postal marketing you may still receive some letters up to 6 weeks after you change your preferences as mailings are printed in advance. You will still receive customer service or order related letters.
We want to let you know what we’re up to, and help you to see and find our products. Like many companies, we engage in online advertising to do this - with targeted banners and adverts on other websites and apps. This common practice is done using a variety of digital marketing networks and ad exchanges, and we use a range of advertising technologies like pixels, ad tags, cookies and mobile identifiers, as well as specific services offered thought social media platforms.
We make sure we always act in accordance with the terms and conditions of these platforms to show you products and news you may be interested in. All of these platforms offer you ways to manage your privacy and advertising preferences from within their own settings.
3 - Do we share your Personal Data?
We do not sell, rent or otherwise trade your Personal Data with others. While most of our work is done by our employees who access your Personal Data directly from our systems which are under our direct control, we do use third-party service providers to perform certain functions on our behalf.
To give you the best and most efficient service, we use reputable third-party banking and distribution companies. We use them for credit card transactions and order fulfilment, and we provide only the minimum information needed for them to verify and authorize your payment card, and process your order. They are under strict obligations to keep your personal information private.
We may, with your permission, perform a credit check before allowing you to purchase on our interest free instalments. However as we do not have access to your personal financial situation, it is up to you to consider the affordability of any purchase you make.
We also work with postal mail companies under the same conditions and our email communications are also sent through a third party client. We only work with these partners with your explicit consent, and you can ask us to stop at any time.
Such companies and individuals will only have access to the personal data needed to perform these functions, they may not use it for any other purposes and are required to process the data in accordance with data protection laws and regulations applicable in Ireland.
We seek to maintain accurate contact details, including checking your contact details through commercially available records. For further information on which service providers may have access to your personal data, please contact us.
Please note that if we are requested by the police, government, regulatory, or other body investigating suspected illegal activities to provide your personal data and/or user details, we are entitled to do so.
4 - How long do we keep your Personal Data?
We make sure to only keep data for as long as it is required to service your account, retain your transactional history and remember your preferences. We also hold certain types of data in accordance with legal requirements for tax and accounting rules for the standard statutory period required by EU Law, which is currently set at 6 years. Once the Personal Data is no longer required, it is either deleted or anonymised.
5 - Is your Personal Data secure?
Protecting your personal privacy is our main concern. We take reasonable steps to ensure that all information we collect, use or disclose is accurate. It is either stored or eventually destroyed in a secured environment accessed only by authorised personnel.
We use comprehensive modern technology and processes to ensure the security of all data held, including but not limited to: firewalls; encryption, anonymization, password management and regular software updates. We perform a regular review to make sure our security measures match the level of sensitivity of the data held. We only retain data for the length of time it is required as detailed in the section above.
We fully recognise the importance of secure shopping and the protection of your credit card details when purchasing from us. Our web server uses proven technology to encrypt your personal information, including debit or credit card numbers, names and addresses. When you place an order, the encryption process converts the characters you enter into code that is then securely transmitted over the Internet. This eradicates the potential accessibility of your personal financial data by outside individuals or agencies and all related fraud.
6 - Do we transfer information between countries?
Our customer service team and fulfilment operations are both located within Europe. We do not have any operations outside of Europe.
