Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Murphy Masonry and Monumental Works (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and looks after your personal information. It applies when you contact us, request a quotation, or ask us to carry out work.

We are the data controller responsible for your information. This policy is written to meet our obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Irish data protection law.

We only collect the information you give us, which may include:

• Your name.
• A phone number, so we can call you back directly.
• An email address, if you choose to give one.
• Your county, graveyard, or address, so we know where the work is.
• Details of the work you need — for example, a new headstone, a restoration, or a house front.
• Any inscription wording or photographs you share to help with the work.

We do not ask for, and do not wish to receive, sensitive personal data beyond what is needed to carry out the work.

We use your information to:

• Respond to your enquiry and provide a quotation.
• Carry out and arrange the work you have asked for.
• Keep a record of the work for our own reference and for any follow-up.
• Contact you about the work, including photographs of the stone where helpful.

We do not use your information to send you marketing unless you ask us to.

We rely on your consent when you contact us, and on the legitimate interest of carrying out the work you have requested. For memorial inscriptions, we hold the wording you provide in order to complete the commission.

We do not sell your information. We share it only where necessary to carry out the work — for example, with a stone supplier or, where required, with a cemetery authority. We share only what is needed for that purpose.

Memorial photographs and inscriptions are kept private. We do not publish names or photographs of memorials on this website or elsewhere without your written permission.

This website does not set marketing or tracking cookies. Any essential technical functions are used only to make the site work.

We keep your enquiry and work records for as long as is reasonable to carry out and stand over the work, and for a short period afterwards in case you need to come back to us. We do not keep personal information longer than necessary.

Your information is held by us and treated as private. Access is limited to what is needed to carry out the work.

Under GDPR you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct information that is wrong.
• Ask us to erase your information where we are not required to keep it.
• Object to or restrict how we use your information.
• Withdraw your consent at any time.

To use any of these rights, contact us using the details below. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Data Protection Commission in Ireland.

Our services are not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date shown above is the date of the last revision.

For any privacy question, or to make a request about your information, email us at MurphyStoneworkandmonumentals@gmail.com or return to the home page to call us directly.
