Plain-English summary
We only aim to collect information that helps us provide resources, answer enquiries, improve our products, understand website use, and communicate with people who choose to contact us. We do not sell personal information.
Information you provide
This may include your name, email address, school or organisation, message details, feedback, survey answers, resource requests, competition or giveaway entries, and any information you choose to send to us.
Usage information
We may collect limited technical or usage information such as pages visited, QR-resource access, approximate location, device/browser information, referral source, date/time of visit and download activity. This helps us understand which resources are useful.
Purchase-related information
If you buy through Amazon, Simplebooklet, a payment provider or another third-party platform, that platform may collect and process order/payment information under its own policies. HCP may receive limited information needed to support your order or access request.
How we use information
We may use personal information to respond to enquiries, provide downloads or digital access, manage feedback and community voice forms, improve books and resources, understand which QR pages and learning supports are being used, send updates where consent has been given, maintain website security, and comply with legal or accounting obligations.
Our lawful bases may include consent, performance of a contract, legitimate interests, and legal obligations, depending on the context. For example, consent may apply to newsletter sign-ups; contract may apply where a paid resource has been purchased; legitimate interests may apply to basic website analytics and service improvement; legal obligations may apply to business records.
Children and students
HCP resources may be used by Junior Cycle and Leaving Certificate students. Students should not send personal information, complete forms, enter giveaways, or submit feedback through HCP online forms without appropriate permission from a parent/guardian or teacher where required. In Ireland, the digital age of consent is 16 in the context of certain online services. HCP aims to keep student-facing privacy information clear, limited and proportionate.
Teachers, parents and schools
Teachers, parents and schools should supervise student use of online forms, QR pages, downloads, flipbooks and external links where appropriate. Where a school or teacher submits information on behalf of a school, they should ensure they have authority to do so.
Cookies, analytics and third-party tools
We may use privacy-conscious analytics or third-party services to understand website traffic and resource use. This may include services such as Simplebooklet, Amazon, Canva, payment processors, email tools, embedded forms, audio/file hosting, or analytics platforms. These services may process limited data according to their own privacy notices.
How long we keep information
We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, including responding to enquiries, providing access, maintaining business records, improving resources, resolving disputes, or meeting legal/accounting obligations. We may delete or anonymise information when it is no longer required.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access your personal information, ask for correction, ask for deletion, object to certain processing, restrict processing, request portability, or withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis. You may also contact the Irish Data Protection Commission if you have a data-protection concern.
