Frequently asked questions
What format are the templates in?
Editable Word (.docx) files. Fill in the bracketed sections, delete what doesn't apply, and you're done. No special software needed.
Are these specific to Ireland?
Yes — they reference the DPC, Irish legislation (Data Protection Act 2018, ePrivacy Regulations S.I. No. 336 of 2011), and include Irish-specific retention periods. They also work for any EU business under GDPR.
Is this legal advice?
No. These templates are practical guidance designed as a basic draft to cover the needs of most small businesses. If you handle high-risk data or have specific concerns, we recommend also consulting a data protection professional.
Who wrote these?
A practising Data Protection Officer with hands-on experience advising organisations on GDPR compliance.
