Privacy Policy
Last updated: 26 June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how seána (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use seana.ie and the seána app. We are committed to handling your data in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018. It should be read alongside our Cookie Policy.
Who we are
seána is a sauna discovery and booking platform based in Ireland. For any privacy-related queries, you can reach us at info@seana.ie.
What data we collect
- Information you give us — such as your name, email address, and any details you submit when you contact us, book a call, or list your sauna business.
- Booking and account data — where you use the app to make a booking, we process the details needed to fulfil it, including booking times and payment status. Card payments are handled securely by our payment provider (Stripe); we do not store your full card details.
- Usage and device data — basic technical information such as your device type, browser, and how you interact with the site, collected via cookies and similar technologies. See our Cookie Policy for detail.
How we use your data
- To provide and operate the seána platform, including discovery, bookings, and business listings.
- To respond to your enquiries and arrange calls you request.
- To process bookings and payments through our payment provider.
- To understand how the service is used and to improve it.
- To send you service-related communications, and — only where you have consented — marketing updates.
Legal bases for processing
We rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR: performance of a contract (to provide bookings and services you request), consent (for non-essential cookies and marketing), legitimate interests (to operate, secure, and improve our service), and legal obligation (where we must retain records by law).
Sharing your data
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us run the platform — for example payment processing (Stripe), hosting, and analytics — and only as needed for those purposes. We may also disclose data where required by law.
How long we keep it
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out above, or as required to meet legal and accounting obligations. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing, and to data portability. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@seana.ie.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie) if you believe your data has been handled improperly.
Data security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information at all times.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
