Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 October 2026

This policy explains what personal data pharmacytimes.ie ("Pharmacy Times Ireland", "we") collects, why, who we share it with, and your rights. You can use the site without creating an account or telling us who you are.

Who we are

The data controller is Pharmacy Times Ireland. Contact us about anything in this policy at info@pharmacytimes.ie.

No ads, no tracking cookies

pharmacytimes.ie shows no advertising and sets no advertising or tracking cookies, so there is no consent banner. See the cookie policy for the little that is stored on your device.

Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics and GoatCounter to count page views and clicks (for example, taps on a pharmacy's phone number or directions). These don't use cookies or identify you: they record the page, referrer, browser and device type and approximate location. We use this, in aggregate, to improve the site, and may share click totals with the pharmacy concerned.

Your location

If you choose "Find nearest to me", your browser asks for permission to share your location. Your location is used in your browser to sort pharmacies by distance and is not sent to or stored by us. Your browser may keep driving distances for 24 hours, labelled with your location rounded to about 1 km (see the cookie policy). To refine the order of nearby pharmacies by driving distance, your approximate coordinates may be sent to openrouteservice. If you search by town or postcode instead, your search text is sent to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service. Maps are provided by Mapbox, which receives your IP address and map usage when loading map tiles.

When you contact us

If you use the claim your listing form or email us, we receive the details you give us (such as your name, email, phone number, pharmacy and message). Form submissions are delivered to us by email through Resend. We use them only to respond to your request and keep them only as long as needed for that.

Legal bases

• Legitimate interests — running and securing the site, and cookieless analytics to understand how the site is used.
• Taking steps at your request — responding to messages and listing claims.

International transfers

Some of these providers process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where they do, they rely on safeguards such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. To exercise these rights, email info@pharmacytimes.ie. You have the right to complain to the Data Protection Commission, Ireland's data protection authority.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

Changes to this policy

We'll update this page when our practices change, and revise the date at the top.
