Privacy Policy for Crane Team Ireland

Last Updated: June 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Crane Team Ireland. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website (craneteam.net) or use our digital matching infrastructure (the “Platform”).

This policy complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018.

2. Data Controller Information

For the purposes of the EU GDPR and Irish data protection legislation, the Data Controller responsible for your personal information is:

3. What Information Do We Collect?

To provide our specialized job board, radius routing, and placement tools for the Irish crane and lifting industry, we collect the following types of information:

Information You Provide to Us (Required)

  • Personal Details: Name, email address, physical municipal region/city, and phone number.
  • Account Data: User IDs and account credentials securely configured during registration.

Information Handled with Strict Privacy Protocols

  • Photos and Licenses: Profile pictures or digital image uploads of lifting qualifications, safety tokens, or competence certificates uploaded to verify your professional profile.
  • Anonymized Location Data: To safely connect you with nearby crane positions or commercial plant inquiries, our platform utilizes location-matching technology. To protect your personal home privacy, our system automatically strips precise street lines, house numbers, or Eircodes from worker entries and overwrites them with a generic municipal town center or city region (e.g., mapping safely to a town hub rather than your actual residential doorstep).

Information Collected Automatically

  • Device Meta-Data & Tokens: Secured push notification tokens used exclusively to alert you the split-second a verified local lifting position is dispatched within your specified travel distance.
  • Platform Analytics and Performance: Automated crash logs, system diagnostic data, and performance analytics to ensure app stability, eliminate performance bugs, and secure operations.

Note: Crane Team does not process or retain financial transaction payments directly through our servers, nor do we sell data or integrate advertising tracking tags for third-party marketing companies.

4. How Do We Use Your Data? (Our Legal Basis)

Under the EU GDPR, we must have a valid lawful basis for processing your data. We utilize your information to:

  • Provide App Functionality and Account Management (Performance of a Contract): To maintain your specialized profile dashboard, execute secure applications, allow recruitment teams to list operational vacancies, and match fleets with commercial plant leads.
  • Send Targeted Workspace Notifications (Consent / Legitimate Interest): To issue instantaneous geo-radius alerts regarding highly relevant local lifting opportunities or profile actions.
  • Maintain and Improve System Integrity (Legitimate Interest): To run system diagnostics, prevent fraudulent account activities, and optimize server speeds for all active platform users.

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal data to third-party advertising brokers or external marketing lists. Your data is only visible or shared under the following mandatory conditions:

  • Authorized Platform Connections: When an available operator explicitly applies for a listed position or when a fleet responds to a lead, relevant professional profile details (such as first name, verified qualifications, and regional proximity) are securely made available to the hiring manager or agency to facilitate direct contact.
  • Trusted Technical Infrastructure Providers: We cooperate with secure, specialized third-party cloud data hosters and automated email infrastructure networks. These processors maintain your information under strict cryptographic protection and operate exclusively on our direct instructions.
  • Legal and Safety Mandates: If required by statutory law, regulatory enforcement bodies within the Republic of Ireland, or to protect the safety and operational security of Crane Team and our network users.

6. Data Security and Retention

We implement strict technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized exposure, local data interception, loss, or manipulation. We retain your personal data records exclusively for as long as your private account profile remains active. If you choose to delete your account, your data is securely purged or permanently anonymized across our active databases, unless statutory European or Irish accounting or legal regulations require an extended holding window.

7. Your GDPR Data Protection Rights

As a resident of Ireland and the European Economic Area (EEA), you possess full legal protections regarding your data under the GDPR:

  • The right to be informed: To receive clear, transparent summaries of what metrics are logged and how they function.
  • The right to access: You have a legal right to request digital copies of all personal data tied to your user ID.
  • The right to rectification: You can request that any outdated, incomplete, or flawed database records be instantly corrected.
  • The right to erasure (“Right to be forgotten”): You can request the wholesale deletion of your operational account profile from our systems.
  • The right to restrict processing: You can demand that we isolate or suspend active processing of your data records under distinct legal parameters.
  • The right to object to processing: You retain the absolute right to object to our handling of data executed via legitimate interest frameworks.
  • The right to data portability: You can request that we export your data structures cleanly to yourself or directly to another provider.

If you submit a formal request to exercise your rights, our administration has a maximum statutory window of one month to respond. Please address all requests directly to our data desk at appsupport@craneteam.net.

You also maintain the legal right to escalate concerns or file a formal data grievance directly with the **Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC)** by visiting their official portal at dataprotection.ie.

8. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We keep our privacy parameters under consistent administrative review. Any structural updates will be deployed directly on this dedicated webpage and inside our app feed interfaces. Significant changes to our data logic will be communicated directly via your primary account email address or a mandatory system notice.
