secure data protection and water ripple aesthetic for Irish aquaponics website

1) Introduction and scope

Loxavira Aquaponics Limited (referred to as “Loxavira”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) operates an Irish aquaponics farm and provides information about our systems, products, sustainability practices, tours, and partnership enquiries through this website.

This Privacy Policy applies to personal data we collect from visitors and prospective customers when they browse the site, contact us, or interact with our cookie preferences. It covers data collected through server logs, web forms, cookies, and analytics technologies that help us understand how the site is used.

This policy does not cover third-party websites that you may reach via external links. Those websites have their own privacy practices. We recommend reading their privacy policies before providing any personal data.

2) Personal data we collect

We collect only the information that is reasonably necessary to operate the website, respond to enquiries, and improve the site experience. Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

Identity and contact details
  • Full name (as provided in forms)
  • Email address
  • Phone number (optional, if you provide it)
Technical and usage data
  • IP address and approximate location (derived)
  • Device and browser information (type, version, language)
  • Pages viewed, navigation paths, time on page, referrer
Enquiry content and preferences

If you use our contact form on /contact/, we collect the content of your message, the topic you choose (for example, tours, products, partnerships, or technical questions), and the consent checkbox status. This helps us route your request and respond accurately. Please do not include sensitive personal data in your message (for example, health information or financial account details). We do not request that kind of information.

We do not knowingly collect special category data (such as health, biometric, or political opinions). If you voluntarily include it in a message, we will use it only to address your request and may delete it or redact it where appropriate.

3) How we collect data

We collect personal data using the following methods:

  • Web forms: When you submit an enquiry through the contact form, you provide your name, email, and message. Phone is optional.
  • Cookies and local storage: Our cookie banner stores your cookie choice in your browser’s local storage so we can remember your preference.
  • Analytics tools: We may use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our pages and to improve navigation and content. Analytics is enabled only when you accept analytics cookies through our banner, where applicable.
  • Server logs: Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure logs technical details such as IP address, user agent, requested URL, and timestamps for security and troubleshooting.
  • Marketing pixels (if enabled): If we run Meta (Facebook/Instagram) advertising and you consent to marketing cookies, we may use the Meta Pixel to measure campaign performance and build remarketing audiences. We do not enable marketing pixels without consent where consent is required.

We do not use hidden forms, pre-ticked boxes, or deceptive design patterns to obtain consent. Cookie choices are stored as your explicit selection.

5) Why we use your data (purposes)

We use personal data for clear operational purposes connected to running our aquaponics farm site and responding to enquiries. These include:

  • Responding to enquiries: replying to messages, confirming tour arrangements, and addressing product or technical questions.
  • Customer support: providing follow-up information you request, such as handling notes, availability windows, or system explanations.
  • Website security: protecting the site from malicious activity, fraud attempts, and misuse.
  • Analytics (consent-based where required): understanding which pages are helpful, how visitors navigate, and where content can be improved.
  • Marketing measurement (consent-based where required): evaluating advertising performance, such as which campaigns lead to contact enquiries.

We do not sell personal data. We do not use personal data to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.

6) Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, then delete or anonymise it. Typical retention periods are:

Category
Typical retention
Reason
Contact form submissions
2 years
To handle follow-ups, recurring seasonal enquiries, and record context if you contact us again.
Email correspondence
2 years
To provide continuity for support and partnership discussions.
Analytics data (if enabled)
14 months
To measure trends and improve site content while limiting long-term tracking.
Server logs
30 days
Security monitoring, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention.
Marketing audience data (if enabled)
Up to 180 days (platform dependent)
Campaign measurement and remarketing, based on consent and platform settings.

If you request deletion, we will delete or anonymise your data unless we must keep it for legal reasons. If legal retention is required, we will restrict use and limit access.

7) Data sharing and processors

We share personal data only when needed to operate the website and respond to enquiries. We do not sell personal data. Where we use service providers (processors), we require them to handle data securely and only on our instructions.

Categories of processors we may use include:

  • Hosting and infrastructure providers: store and deliver the site content and maintain security and uptime.
  • Email providers: receive and send messages when you contact us by email or through site forms.
  • Analytics providers: for example, Google Analytics 4, used to understand aggregated usage (consent-based where required).
  • Advertising platforms: for example, Meta platforms, used only when marketing cookies are accepted and campaigns are active.

We may also disclose data if required by law, or to protect our rights, visitors, and the integrity of our services. In such cases, we disclose only what is necessary and document the request where appropriate.

8) International transfers

We are based in Ireland and aim to keep processing within the European Economic Area (EEA) where possible. Some service providers (such as analytics or advertising platforms) may process data outside the EEA, including in the United States.

When personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we use one or more safeguards recognised by the GDPR, such as:

  • EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): contractual commitments designed to protect data transferred internationally.
  • Adequacy decisions: where the European Commission has determined the destination provides an adequate level of protection, where applicable.

You can request information about the relevant safeguard for a specific provider by emailing [email protected].

9) Cookie policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use browser storage (local storage) to remember your cookie choice. Our site uses cookies and similar technologies in the following categories:

Strictly necessary

These support core site functions and security. Without them, key elements may not work as intended. Example: storing your cookie preference choice in local storage so the banner does not reappear on every page load.

Typical duration: up to 12 months for preference storage, or until you clear site data.

Analytics

These help us understand visitor behaviour in aggregated form, such as which pages are most useful and how people move through the site. We use this to improve navigation, content clarity, and performance. Analytics is enabled only with consent where required.

Typical duration: up to 14 months (based on our analytics settings).

Marketing

These may be used when we run advertising campaigns to measure conversions and, where allowed, build audiences for remarketing. Marketing cookies are enabled only with consent where required and are controlled by your cookie selection and platform settings.

Typical duration: varies by platform; commonly 30 to 180 days.

Managing cookies

You can manage cookies by using our banner controls when it appears, or by adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies. If you clear site data, our banner will reappear and you can choose again.

Our site also stores a cookie-choice value in local storage. This is used only to remember your preference and is not used to track you across unrelated websites.

If you want to withdraw analytics or marketing consent, clear the site’s stored data in your browser, then choose “Reject” when the banner is shown again.
Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no universal standard for how websites must respond. Where practical, we minimise tracking and rely on consent-based controls for non-essential cookies.

10) Your rights under the GDPR

If you are in the EEA, you have rights over your personal data. These rights are not absolute and may be limited in certain situations (for example, where we must keep data to comply with legal obligations). Your rights include:

Access

You can request confirmation of whether we process your data and receive a copy of the data we hold about you.

Rectification

You can ask us to correct inaccurate data or complete incomplete data.

Erasure

You can request deletion of your personal data in certain cases, including where data is no longer needed or where you withdraw consent.

Restriction

You can request that we restrict processing in certain cases, such as while a dispute over accuracy is being resolved.

Portability

You can request a portable copy of data you provided to us, where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means.

Objection

You can object to processing based on legitimate interests. We will stop unless we have compelling legitimate grounds or need data for legal claims.

Withdraw consent

Where we rely on consent (for example, analytics or marketing cookies), you can withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal.

To exercise any rights, email [email protected]. Please include enough information for us to identify your request (for example, the email address you used to contact us).

11) Children’s privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, please email [email protected] and we will take appropriate steps to delete the information.

Educational tours and group visits may involve schools or youth groups, but enquiries should be made by an adult organiser. Any names or contact details for organisers are handled as described in this policy.

12) Security measures

We use reasonable organisational and technical safeguards to protect personal data against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. These measures include access controls for business email accounts, least-privilege access to administrative systems, and security monitoring on hosting infrastructure.

No website can be guaranteed fully secure. If you suspect a security issue involving this website, contact us at [email protected] and we will investigate.

13) Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in legal requirements, our services, or our technology. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

If the changes are significant, we may provide additional notice on the website (for example, a banner) or by email if you have an active enquiry relationship with us and the update is relevant to that relationship.
