Privacy Policy
Terms of Use.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) very significantly increases the obligation and
responsibilities for organisations and business in how we collect, use and protect personal data.
At the centre of this law is the requirement for organisations and businesses to be fully transparent
about how they are using and safeguarding personal data and to be able to demonstrate accountability
for their data processing activities.
Data protection rights apply whether the personal data is held in electronic format or in a manual paper
form.
Data Protection is all about the protection of personal data.
This privacy policy sets out how GC Integral Communications Ltd (trading as cheddar.ie) collects, uses
and protects any information that you provide to us in accordance with the European General Data
Protection Regulation.
At cheddar.ie we respect your privacy and commit to protecting your personal data. This “privacy notice”
explains what we do with your personal data, why we want to use it, how we protect it and what rights
you have to control or use of it.
Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that
person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous
data).
This privacy notice applies not just to users of our website and our energy supply customers, but also
personal data that we process through other interactions with individuals in the course of running our
business such as individuals working for commercial customers or suppliers. Our website and services
are not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.

If you contact our customer services operatives by telephone, we may collect:
Whether information has to be provided by you and if so why
Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and
you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are
trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with energy). In this case, we may have to
cancel the contract you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
Who we share your personal data with and why
There are reasons why we may need to share your data with third parties.
Data Processors
We use a number of different service providers (acting as ‘data processors’) who provide services to
enable us to operate our business and the services we provide to our customers. Your personal data is
transferred to (and stored by) these service providers (as our ‘data processors’), who generally fall under
the following categories:
These ‘data processors’ only process data on our behalf, they won’t use your personal data for their own
purposes and we only permit them to use it in accordance with our instructions and the law.
Your rights to lodge a complaint with the Regulator
At all times, you have the right to report a concern or lodge a complaint with the Commission for
Regulation of Utilities (CRU). Please refer to the CRU at https://www.cru.ie/home/complaint-form/ or by
calling them on 1890 404 404. Of course, we hope that we can resolve your issue quickly and fairly
ourselves.
Keeping your personal information secure
We have numerous safeguards in place to reasonably and adequately protect personally identifiable
information. • Our databases are protected by technical and procedural measures that restrict
information access to authorised persons. Only employees/agents who need the information to perform
a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees/agents are kept
up to date on our security and privacy practices. • Security software/firewall/encryption

time to time. Any changes we make in the future will be posted on our website.
If you believe that any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please contact us as
soon as possible. We will promptly correct any information found to be incorrect.
