Privacy Policy.

Who we are.

Matt the Thresher operates restaurant venues in Dublin, Birdhill and Julianstown, Ireland. Personal information associated with a particular restaurant is handled by the relevant restaurant operator. You can contact the venue concerned using the details on our Dublin, Birdhill or Julianstown contact pages.

Information we collect.

Depending on how you use our services, we may receive your name, phone number, email address, reservation details, enquiry messages and any information you voluntarily share with us. When you browse the website, our hosting and security systems may also process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details, page requests and access logs.

If you share information about allergies, dietary requirements or accessibility needs, we use it only as appropriate to handle your enquiry or requested service and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

How we use your information.

We use relevant information to respond to enquiries, arrange reservations, provide hospitality services, assist with events or private dining requests, support purchases, maintain our website and meet applicable legal obligations. Depending on the activity, our lawful basis may be taking steps towards or performing a contract, complying with a legal obligation, our legitimate interests in running and securing our business, or your consent where required.

We may send promotional communications where permitted by applicable law. You can object to direct marketing or unsubscribe using the instructions provided.

Reservations, vouchers and events.

Our booking pages use ResDiary to facilitate restaurant reservations. The booking service may process information required for your reservation in accordance with its own privacy information and its arrangements with the restaurant. Gift vouchers and event tickets may be offered through external platforms, including VoucherMe and Eventbrite. When using those services, please also review the provider’s privacy notice.

Website analytics and external content.

We use website technologies to keep our pages functional, safe and reliable. Where analytics technologies are enabled, information about website usage may also be processed, subject to any legally required consent. Pages may link to Google Maps, Google-hosted 360° tours and social networks. When you follow external links or interact with embedded services, those providers may process information under their own policies. For more detail, see our Cookie Policy.

Who receives your information.

Information may be accessible to the relevant restaurant team and to providers assisting us with reservations, hosting, email, website administration, security, analytics, vouchers or event services, where relevant. Providers may act on our instructions or as separate controllers for their own services. We do not sell customer personal information.

Some providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where international transfers take place, appropriate safeguards must apply as required by data protection law.

How long we keep information.

We keep personal information for no longer than necessary for its purpose. This depends on the type of record, the length of the customer relationship, relevant legal or financial requirements, security needs and the time needed to handle enquiries or disputes. Information that is no longer required is deleted or anonymised as appropriate.

Keeping information secure.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information and restrict access to those who need it for legitimate purposes. No method of transmitting information online is entirely risk-free.

Your rights.

Under the GDPR, subject to applicable conditions, you may request access to your personal information, correction, erasure, restriction of processing or data portability, and you may object to certain processing. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. You also have the right to complain to the Data Protection Commission in Ireland.

Contact us.

For privacy requests, please contact the restaurant concerned: mattsdublin@gmail.com (Dublin), mattsbirdhill@gmail.com (Birdhill) or mattsjulianstown@gmail.com (Julianstown). Please include enough detail to identify the request, but do not email sensitive documents unless requested through a secure channel.

Changes to this policy.

We may revise this Privacy Policy when our services or data practices change. The updated version will be displayed on this page with its latest revision date.
