Privacy & Cookies Policy

01Who We Are — Data Controller

Strong 8K IPTV Ireland (8kiptvireland.irish) is the data controller responsible for the personal data described in this policy. All data protection enquiries should be sent through the contact channels on this website or by email to [email protected].

02Personal Data We Collect

We collect only what is necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

03How We Use Your Personal Data

Each processing purpose rests on a lawful basis under Article 6 GDPR:

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have balanced those interests against your rights and freedoms and concluded they do not override the reasonable expectations of our customers. We carry out no automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

04Sharing Your Personal Data

Service providers. We work with a small number of third-party processors on our behalf — hosting and infrastructure providers, content-delivery and security services (such as Cloudflare), and messaging platforms (such as WhatsApp, through which orders and support run). Processors are bound by data processing terms and may process personal data only on our documented instructions, in line with GDPR requirements.

Legal and regulatory disclosure. We may disclose personal data to competent authorities — including data protection regulators, law enforcement agencies, courts and other public bodies — where required to do so by applicable law, court order or binding regulatory direction. We notify you of such disclosures where we are legally permitted to.

Business transfers. In the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of our business assets, customer personal data may be transferred to the acquiring party. We will notify you of any such transfer and of any resulting change to this policy.

International transfers. We aim to store and process personal data within the European Economic Area (EEA). Where a transfer outside the EEA is necessary — for example where a service provider's infrastructure sits outside the EEA — we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

05Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, plus any applicable legal and regulatory retention obligations:

When data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymise it. Anonymised data — from which you can no longer be identified — may be retained for longer for statistical and analytical purposes.

06Cookies & Tracking Technologies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Cookies allow a site to recognise your device, remember preferences and analyse how the site is used.

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They store no personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings, as the site depends on them.

Analytics cookies (where enabled) help us understand how visitors interact with the website — which pages are visited, how long visits last and how visitors navigate — so we can improve it. The information collected is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

Managing cookies. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you refuse cookies, accept all, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored — look under Settings → Privacy in Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working.

07Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject whose personal data we process, you hold the following rights under the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. You can exercise any of them through the contact methods on this website:

08Data Security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, including:

• Access controls limiting who can view personal data
• Encryption of data in transit (HTTPS/TLS across the site and delivery systems)
• Secure, access-controlled storage for records
• Regular review of our security practices

Payments. We never collect or store full card details through this website. Ordering runs through WhatsApp and payments are completed via the payment channels agreed there — your full payment details are handled by the relevant payment provider, not stored by us.

While every reasonable measure is taken, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. If you believe your data or Credentials may have been compromised, contact us immediately through the support channels on this website.

09Third-Party Links & Services

This website links to third-party websites, app stores and services — for example app-store listings on our Downloads page. This policy applies only to our website and services; it does not cover third-party sites or services.

When you follow a link to a third-party website, that website's own privacy policy applies to any personal data you provide there. We are not responsible for their privacy practices and recommend reviewing their policies before providing personal information. Third-party IPTV player applications are developed, operated and controlled by their developers — their handling of any data is governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

10Children's Privacy

The Service is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a person under 18 has provided personal data to us, please contact us and we will promptly delete the information and close any associated access. By subscribing, you confirm you are at least 18 years of age.

11Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy & Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, the services we provide, or our security and operational requirements.

When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify active subscribers through our usual communication channels. Continued use of the website or Service after a revised policy is published means the updated version applies. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
