Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle any personal data you provide to us while visiting this website.
By using this website, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy.

External links to other websites are clearly identifiable as such, and we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites.

Types of Information Collected

We collect two types of information:

Personal Data

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Telephone number

  • Payment details (processed securely by our ticketing or donation providers)

  • Any information you supply when subscribing to our mailing list or making a booking

Personal data is only collected when you voluntarily provide it — for example, when subscribing to our mailing list, purchasing tickets through Ticket Tailor, or contacting us directly by email.

Non-Personal Data

We collect statistical information on an aggregate basis to help us understand general website usage. This may include:

  • Browser type and device

  • Pages visited and referring websites

  • Approximate geographic region (country level only)

How We Use Your Information

Personal Data

We may use personal data you provide for the following purposes:

  • Managing ticket bookings through Ticket Tailor

  • Sending updates or newsletters through Mailchimp (only if you have opted in)

  • Responding to enquiries received directly by email

  • Processing donations where applicable

Non-Personal Data

We use non-personal data to:

  • Understand how visitors use the website

  • Improve layout, navigation and content

  • Ensure the website performs correctly across devices

Cookies and Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused, cookieless analytics service.

Plausible does not store personal data, does not use cookies and does not track visitors across websites. It provides only aggregated, anonymous statistics that help us understand site usage and improve our content.

No cookies are set when you browse joycetower.ie.

Some third-party services may set functional cookies only when you choose to interact with them (for example, when opening the Ticket Tailor booking popup). These are necessary for the service to operate and are not used for tracking or advertising.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device to help the site function properly and to collect limited analytical information. You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer not to share this information.

Third-Party Services

We use a small number of trusted third-party services to support the running of this website:

Plausible Analytics
Used for anonymous, cookieless website statistics.

Ticket Tailor
Used for ticket sales and event management. Ticket Tailor loads only when you click “Book Now” and may set functional cookies required to complete the purchase process.

Mailchimp
Used to manage mailing list subscriptions. We use a simple HTML signup form that does not set cookies or load Mailchimp tracking scripts on our pages.

Mapbox GL JS
Used to display an interactive map on our site. Mapbox GL JS 3.2.0 does not set cookies on your device.

Kirby CMS
Used for website content management. Kirby may set an essential session cookie only for administrators logging into the CMS. This is not used on public pages.

Each provider has its own GDPR-compliant privacy policy. They process only the data necessary to deliver their services and do not use your information for their own independent purposes.

Data Security

Your personal data is stored securely and accessed only by authorised personnel when necessary.
