Who we are
Monahan & Company Solicitors, 44 John Street, Lagavooren, Drogheda, Co. Louth, A92 FH51, is the controller of personal data collected through this website. Email info@monahansolicitors.ie or call 041 984 8916 for privacy requests.
Information we collect
When you send an enquiry we collect:
- Your name, email address and phone number
- The practice area you select and any summary you choose to write
- Whether you agreed to the enquiry, and whether you opted in to service updates
Please do not include sensitive details about a legal matter that you would not want held on an email record. A solicitor can take those details in a consultation.
How we use your information
We use enquiry details to:
- Reply to you and arrange a consultation where appropriate
- Keep a record of what you asked us and what you agreed to
- Send occasional service updates, only if you tick that optional box
- Meet our professional duties as solicitors regulated by the Law Society of Ireland
The lawful basis for handling an enquiry is your consent, together with steps taken at your request before a possible contract for legal services. Optional updates rely on the separate marketing consent. We do not sell personal data.
Enquiry forms
The contact form cannot be sent unless you tick the required consent box. That box is never pre-ticked. The marketing box is separate and optional. You can withdraw either consent later by emailing us. Withdrawal does not affect handling that was already lawful.
Cookies and similar storage
This site does not use advertising cookies. On your first visit a banner asks you to accept, reject, or manage optional storage. Your choice is saved in local storage on your device so we do not ask on every page. That record is strictly necessary.
- Strictly necessary. Remembers your cookie decision. Always on.
- Embedded media. Off until you allow it. If you allow it, introduction and practice videos load from HeyGen and YouTube. Those providers may set their own cookies and process data outside the EEA.
- Analytics. No analytics product is loaded today. The toggle is saved so a future analytics tool will stay off unless you allow it.
You can change your mind at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer. Rejecting media cookies means videos stay as links or placeholders.
How long we keep data
Enquiry records are kept for as long as we need them to respond and to meet legal and professional retention duties. Marketing contact details are removed if you withdraw that consent and we have no other reason to keep them.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask for access, correction, erasure, restriction, or a copy of your data, and you can object to certain processing. To use these rights, email info@monahansolicitors.ie. You can also complain to the Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.
