Data Protection & Privacy Overview
How DGS handles personal data, what we never do, and how to contact us.
1Our Status & Lawful Basis
Domhan Green Society operates in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018. The controller is Domhan Green Society, an unincorporated volunteer-led non-profit in Blackpool, Cork, Republic of Ireland (info@domhangreen.com). We use personal data on lawful grounds: consent for public stories, and legitimate interests or a request you make for running programmes.
2What We Record & What We Do NOT Do
- Volunteering Records (when the service launches): We will record voluntary hours and project contributions across Ireland. A record will count only once the host organisation confirms it.
- No Employment / Identity Verification: DGS does not perform identity verification, right-to-work checks, or immigration screening; a Contribution ID will only show voluntary community time confirmed by a host organisation.
- No Selling of Data: Personal data and volunteer profiles are never sold, rented, or traded with partner employers, advertisers, or commercial third parties.
3Consented Stories & Absolute Anonymity
- Written Consent: Every journey on Path to Success is published only with the person’s explicit written consent, and consent may be withdrawn at any time.
- Strict Anonymity Rule: DGS enforces a non-negotiable strict anonymity rule: journeys touching upon gender-based violence (GBV) or mental health are published anonymously or not at all, with no exceptions.
4Withdrawal & Contact
You have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction or portability of your data, to object to processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. Email us and we reply within one month.
The controller is Domhan Green Society, an unincorporated volunteer-led non-profit in Blackpool, Cork, T23, Republic of Ireland. The full details are in our Privacy Policy.
