Privacy notice
Last updated 30 October 2026
This notice explains what personal data Frank O'Dea Carpentry collects, why, who it is shared with, how long it is kept, and the rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018.
1. Who we are
Frank O'Dea Carpentry Kitchens & Bedrooms Ltd, Doonbeg, Co. Clare, Ireland, is the data controller for the personal data described here. For anything about your data, email info@frankodeacarpentry.ie.
2. What we collect, why, and on what legal basis
Enquiries and consultation requests
When you contact us through the forms on this site, the WhatsApp button, by phone or email, or by messaging us or filling in a lead form on Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp, we collect your first and last name, phone number, email address, town or Eircode, the kind of project, your timeline, how you found us, and your message. We use these to reply to you, arrange your consultation, and prepare your design and quote. Legal basis: the steps you ask us to take before a contract, and our legitimate interest in running the business and answering the people who contact us.
Clients
If you go ahead with a project we also hold your site address, measurements, drawings, design choices, quotes, contracts, invoices and payment records. Legal basis: performing our contract with you, and our legal obligation to keep accounting and tax records.
Job applications
If you apply to work with us through this site we collect your name, phone number, email address, town or Eircode, your experience and your CV. We use these only to consider your application. Legal basis: the steps you ask us to take before an employment contract, and our legitimate interest in recruiting.
Website analytics
With your consent we use Google Analytics, provided by Google, to count visits and see which pages are read. It sets two cookies and that visit data goes to Google. Decline and nothing is set. Legal basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time (see section 5).
Messages from us
Messages you receive from us by email, text or WhatsApp are about your enquiry, consultation or project. We do not send marketing newsletters, and we never sell your details or share them for other companies' marketing.
3. Who we share your data with
We share your details only with the providers and people needed to answer you and deliver your project:
- GoHighLevel (also called LeadConnector), the customer-management system we use to store enquiries, reply to you and arrange your consultation. GoHighLevel is based in the United States, so your enquiry is held there.
- Our own business system, built and maintained for us by ClickRebels Ltd (Ireland) and hosted on Vercel and Supabase, which records enquiries, consultations and project stages.
- Google Workspace (email, calendar and Drive) for our correspondence, appointments, design files and documents.
- Meta Platforms (Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp) when you contact us or respond to our ads there. Meta's handling of your own account is covered by Meta's privacy policy.
- An e-signature service when you sign a contract with us.
- Suppliers and fitters who need details such as your site address and measurements to make, deliver and install your kitchen.
- Our accountants and professional advisers, and public authorities where the law requires it.
Each provider acts under a data-processing agreement and may use your data only to provide its service to us.
4. Transfers outside the European Economic Area
GoHighLevel, Google and Meta may process your data in the United States. These transfers are covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified under it, and otherwise by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses in the provider's data-processing terms.

9. How we protect your data
Your data is held in the systems listed in section 3, each protected by the provider's own security measures, and this site is served over HTTPS. Access is limited to Frank and the members of the team who need it to look after your enquiry or project.
