- Right to Rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to Erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal obligations.

How We Comply
Run Apparel Ireland complies with GDPR by:
- Only collecting data necessary for website functionality and analytics
- Using secure, encrypted connections (HTTPS)
- Not storing personal data in identifiable databases
- Retaining logs and cookie data only for as long as necessary
- Providing clear information about data processing via our Privacy Policy
Data We Process
Under GDPR, the personal data we may process includes:
- IP addresses (anonymized where possible)
- Browser type and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Cookies used for analytics and session management
We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or payment details on this website — these are handled securely by our third-party e-commerce platform during checkout.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal data is based on legitimate interest — specifically, to ensure website functionality, improve user experience, and analyze traffic patterns. We do not rely on consent for this processing, as it is necessary for the operation of our informational site. You may object at any time.

Response Timeframes
We are legally required to respond to your request within one month of receipt. In complex cases, we may extend this period by two additional months and will inform you accordingly.
No Discrimination Policy
We will not deny you goods or services, charge different prices, or provide a lower quality of service because you exercised your GDPR rights.
