Last updated: 17 February 2025
10 Days in Dublin (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website 10daysindublin.ie. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We collect the minimum data needed to run this site:
- Email address — when you subscribe to our newsletter. We also record the date you subscribed and which page you signed up from.
- Usage data — we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site (pages visited, time on page, referral source, device type). Google Analytics uses cookies and may collect your IP address. Data is processed by Google under its privacy policy.
- Server logs — our hosting provider (Cloudflare) automatically logs request data such as IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited. These logs are used for security and performance monitoring and are retained according to Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
How We Use Your Data
- Newsletter — we use your email address to send you Dublin travel tips and guides. We send a welcome email when you subscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- Analytics — we use Google Analytics to understand which pages are popular, how visitors find us, and how we can improve the site.
