Please read this Cookie and Tracking Notice carefully as it contains important information on who we are and how we use cookies on our app and website. This notice should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which sets out how and why we collect, store, use and share personal information generally, as well as your rights in relation to your personal information and details of how to contact us and supervisory authorities if you have a complaint.
In short: we use only the small number of cookies that are strictly necessary to run the app. We do not use any analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
The Beacon Co-Parenting app and website are operated by Beacon ("Beacon," "we," "us," "our"). We are a digital platform designed to support co-parenting arrangements.
This Cookie and Tracking Notice relates to your use of our app and website, Beacon Co-Parenting App and www.beaconparenting.ie respectively. Throughout our app and website, we may link to other websites owned and operated by certain trusted third parties (for example, Barnardos) to make additional products and services available to you. These other third party websites may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own separate policies. For privacy information relating to these other third party websites, please consult their policies as appropriate.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (e.g. your mobile phone or tablet) when you use our App. They allow the App to recognise your device and remember certain information, such as keeping you securely signed in as you move between screens. We use cookies and similar technologies in line with Irish legislation, including the Data Protection Act 2018 and the ePrivacy Regulations (S.I. No. 336 of 2011).
We use only the cookies that are strictly necessary to provide the service you have asked for. Specifically:
We do not use analytics cookies, marketing or advertising cookies, or any technology that builds a profile of your interests or tracks you across other apps and websites.
Because the cookies above are strictly necessary to deliver a service you have requested — signing in and making payments — we do not need your consent to use them, and there is no cookie consent banner to manage. If this ever changes and we introduce any non-essential cookies, we will ask for your consent first and update this notice.
You can block or delete cookies at any time using your browser or device settings. Please note that if you block our essential cookies, parts of the app — including signing in and making payments — may stop working.
Please contact our Data Protection Office at support@beaconparenting.ie if you have any questions about this notice or the information we hold about you. If you would like this notice in another format (for example: audio, large print, braille), please contact us at the same email.
