Who is responsible
ourhouse.ie is responsible for the personal information described in this notice. Privacy enquiries and rights requests can be sent to hello@ourhouse.ie.
Garden Home Checker information
When you choose to reveal a detailed checker result, we collect:
- Your email address.
- Your selected questionnaire answers and numerical site measurements.
- The calculated result category and estimated size range.
- The submission date and time.
Please do not enter another person's information or sensitive personal information. The checker uses fixed choices and measurements; it does not ask for an Eircode, full address, health information or free-text personal circumstances.
Why we use it
We use the checker submission because you asked us to provide the gated result and agreed that we may respond about that specific project. We use it to:
- Display and understand the result produced from your answers.
- Respond to questions or help identify potentially size-compatible models and providers.
- Protect the form from abuse and troubleshoot failed submissions.
We do not treat the checker result as a legal planning decision, use it for automated decisions with legal effects, sell the submission, or use it for newsletter marketing.
Form delivery provider
The checker uses FormSubmit to transmit the form to partnerships@ourhouse.ie. This means the email and checker summary pass through FormSubmit's systems before arriving in our mailbox. Review FormSubmit's privacy information before submitting if you want more detail about that service.
Retention
Checker enquiries are retained for up to 12 months after the last interaction about the project, then deleted unless we need to keep a narrower record for a legal, security or dispute-related reason. Browser questionnaire state is held in session storage so answers survive a temporary submission failure; it is not intended as a long-term browser record.
Analytics
We use a self-hosted Matomo analytics service to understand aggregate site and checker usage. Checker analytics include events such as opening the tool, completing a stage, submission success or failure, result category and model-link clicks. We do not send your email, raw measurements, full answer set or free text to Matomo.
Sharing and international processing
We share information only with service providers needed to operate the site, form delivery and email, or where required by law. Those providers may process data outside Ireland. We do not publish checker submissions or disclose them to listed modular-home providers unless you separately ask us to make an introduction.
Your choices and rights
You may ask us to provide a copy of your information, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its use, or withdraw the project-follow-up consent. Withdrawing consent does not make earlier lawful use invalid. Contact hello@ourhouse.ie and identify the email used in the checker.
If you are dissatisfied with our response, you may contact Ireland's Data Protection Commission.
Other enquiries
If you email us directly or use a provider quote form, we receive the contact details and project information you choose to send. We use those details to answer the enquiry and manage the requested introduction or quote conversation.
Changes to this notice
We will update the effective date above when this notice changes materially. Current rules and service providers should be rechecked as the site evolves.
