What personal data we collect and why we collect it:
- to allow us to keep in contact with owners of Irish Draught horses and Irish Draught Sport Horses and provide a service to them
- to meet Defra, Minimum Operating Standards and Central Equine Database requirements
- for limited statistical purposes
- as part of our inspection and registration services, limited personal data is made available to Horse Sport Ireland, linked with ownership of horses. Horse Sport Ireland is based in Naas, in the Republic of Ireland.
- We share horse pedigree data with other harmonised countries (currently the USA, Australia and Canada), we do not share personal data such as ownership details.
- to provide a list of panel judges to affiliated shows
- to process entries for the Annual Breed Show and produce a show catalogue
- we may have to disclose personal information to third parties, such as the police, Defra and Trading Standards, when required by law. This would be to help to prevent or detect passport fraud or other criminal activity, to support the government’s response to disease control or to assist in locating lost or stolen animals.
- We have a third-party contract with Pedigree Livestock Services in Cumbria, Great Britain, to manage our passport services. PLS may also carry out some financial and administrative work, subject to contractual arrangements.
- We commission Weatherby’s Scientific in the Republic of Ireland to process horse DNA. This requires them to have access to limited personal data.
- We may commission external companies to carry out mailings, for example, the Yearbook and newsletters.
- When there is a postal vote, we may use external companies, for example our accountants and auditors in Bedfordshire, Great Britain, to process the voting papers.
- We also use Payment Solutions Ltd t/a SmartDebit, regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under the Payment Services Regulations 2017.
