Privacy Policy

Data Controller

We are registered in Ireland (CRO 802395) and subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018. Our registered address is our place of establishment for GDPR purposes.

What We Collect

We collect only what is necessary to respond to your enquiry or fulfil our contractual obligations.

Information You Provide

• Name and job title
• Email address and company name
• The contents of your enquiry or data sample request

Information Collected Automatically

This website does not use third-party analytics, advertising networks, or tracking pixels. Standard server logs may record your IP address and browser type for security and diagnostic purposes only.

How We Use It

We process your personal data only for the following purposes:

• To respond to your enquiry or data sample request
• To assess whether our data products are suitable for your needs
• To fulfil the terms of a data licence agreement
• To comply with legal obligations

Legal Basis for Processing

• Legitimate interest — responding to commercial enquiries
• Contract performance — fulfilment of data licence agreements
• Legal obligation — compliance with applicable law

We do not sell, share, or transfer your personal data to third parties except where required by law or where necessary to fulfil a contractual obligation (for example, cloud infrastructure providers operating under standard contractual clauses).

Data Retention

We retain contact enquiry data for no longer than 24 months from the date of your last communication with us, or until you request deletion — whichever comes first.

Data processed under a licence agreement is retained for the duration of that agreement plus any period required by law.

International Transfers

Where personal data is processed outside the EEA, Valan Technologies ensures appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with GDPR Chapter V. Our cloud infrastructure providers operate under standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

Your Rights

Under GDPR you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
• Erasure — request deletion of your data where there is no overriding legal basis for retention
• Restriction — request that we limit processing of your data
• Portability — request your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interest

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at john@valan.io. We will respond within 30 days.

Complaints

If you believe your data has been processed unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission of Ireland at dataprotection.ie.
