Last updated: 10 October 2026
This policy explains how Help With Rob's Debt ("we", "us") uses your personal data. We comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Irish Data Protection Act 2018 and the ePrivacy Regulations (S.I. No. 336 of 2011). You can contact us at hola@helpwithrobsdebt.com.
Data We Collect
- Donations: amount, email address, full name, an optional public display name and message, acceptance of the terms, the payment references Stripe gives us, and the country of your billing address (shown on the donor wall).

- Updates sign-up: your email address, if you choose to receive updates.
- Contact form: your name, email address and message.
- Analytics and advertising data: only if you accept the relevant cookies (see below).
