We are 4Tonic Data Ltd, trading as 4Tonic, providing expert VRM.
We obtain information about you when you use our website, for example, when you contact us about purchasing our services. The Company collects information from and about its users in three ways: personal information provided directly by the user and from our Web Server logs.
The personal information we collect might include your name, address, email address, telephone number and IP address. If you are purchasing a service, we will request financial information. Any financial information we collect is used only to bill you for the services you purchased. If you purchase by credit card, this information may be forwarded to your credit card provider (see Payment Processing below). For other types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. The information that you supply will be held on a relevant filing system which may be a computer database, or any other database/system.
We may use your personal information to: process a request by you to purchase a service; carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into by you and us; provide assistance and information to you for example to provide customer service or online technical support and troubleshooting in instances where critical information provided to you has changed; contact you to double-check information you have entered on the Site; seek your views or comments on the services we provide; notify you of changes to our services; send to you service messages from time to time; send you communications which you have requested and which may be of interest to you (see “Opt-in” for News, Offers and Competitions below); we may also use your personal information to assist with requests made to us from time to time by Law Enforcement Authorities (i.e. An Garda Síochána) who may require the information to assist them with matters of law enforcement where the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
Your personal information may be processed, recorded and retained by us in electronic form. You agree, pursuant to the Electronic Commerce Act 2000, that 4Tonic Data Ltd may communicate with you electronically in relation to the services you have purchased, and that it may rely on such electronic communications, in any dealing with you.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:
We retain your personal information on our systems for the longest of the following periods: (i) as long as is necessary for the relevant activity or services; (ii) any retention period that is required by law; or (iii) the end of the period in which litigation or investigations might arise in respect of the services.
If you “opt-in” to receive our emails about news, offers and competitions we may use MailChimp as our data processor for the collection (e.g., via sign-up forms) and storage of your personal information (your name and email address) and the transfer of your personal information (your name and email address) to certain of MailChimp’s sub-processors who perform some critical services, such as helping MailChimp prevent abuse and providing support to their customers.
You may “opt-out” at any time: simply send us an email to info@4tonic.com with the subject Unsubscribe.
We use third party software for payment, analytics, and other business services. This software collects identifying information about the devices that connect to its services. It also uses this information to operate and improve the services it provides to us, including for fraud detection.
The Company takes great measures to protect your personal data. The Company operates from a physically secure environment. Access to this environment is restricted to necessary personnel only. The Company never stores financial details such as your credit card number. All sensitive data transmitted to and from this environment is delivered over encrypted channels. This environment is subject to regular audit to ensure the technology employed is the most appropriate and secure. Firewalls protect the IT environment from unauthorised access; access to systems are permanently monitored.

The Company uses cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. Cookies on the Site are mainly functional in nature. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality.
The Company reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into the Site another site that relies on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on the Site. We use pixel tags to track and improve the effectiveness of our marketing emails. For example, we may use such technologies to identify if you read a marketing or update we sent to you.
The Site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies. For more information on how Google uses your data and how you can opt-out of Google Analytics please visit the following page from Google. Generally speaking we use Google to show us how visitors found and explored our site and how we can improve their experience, to provide us with information on visitor site behaviour, e.g. duration and average number of pages viewed, and how many visitors have visited the Site.
The Site also uses the Facebook Pixel. This is a tracking cookie which monitors your behaviour on the Site to allow for personalised advertising content on Facebook and Instagram platforms. To opt out of Facebook showing you targeted ads, open your Facebook page and click “settings,” and then “ads.” Then click on the “ads based on my use of websites and apps” setting and press the “choose setting” button and select “off.
The Site may contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow the Company to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services.
We may use Mailchimp for marketing emails when you opt-in to receive those emails (See “Opt-in” for News, Offers and Competitions). Mailchimp automatically place single pixel gifs in every email sent. These are tiny graphic files that contain unique identifiers that enable Mailchimp and us to recognize when subscribers have opened an email or clicked certain links. These technologies record each subscribers email address, IP address, date, and time associated with each open and click for a campaign. Mailchimp use this data to create reports for us about how an email campaign performed and what actions subscribers took. For more on cookies delivered through the Mailchimp service you can read here.
Some Web beacons on the Site may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. The Company prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.
