Privacy Policy
The Mustard Seed is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

The privacy and confidentiality of personal information is important, and we are committed to maintaining the privacy and security of your personal information. This policy sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you or you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it. As Data Controllers under the Data Protection Act 1988 we fully endorse and adhere to the principles of the Irish Data Protection legislation and will ensure that we:
- Obtain and process information fairly.
- Keep information only for one or more specified, explicit and lawful purpose.
- Use and disclose information only in ways compatible with these purposes.
- Keep information safe and secure.

- Ensure that information is adequate, relevant and not excessive.
- Retain information for no longer than is necessary for the specified purpose or purposes.
- Give a copy of personal data to the individual from whom it was taken on written request.
Our Privacy Statement is a legal requirement underpinned by two distinct pieces of legislation:

On returning to our site this stored information is fed back to us allowing us to offer you a more personal browsing experience. By using our website you consent to cookies being used in accordance with our Cookie Policy.

9. SECURITY

We (and any affiliate, subcontractor or other person processing your personal data on our behalf) may transfer, store and otherwise process your personal data anywhere in the world. Where we disclose your personal data to third parties, that disclosure may also involve a transfer of your personal data anywhere in the world, and those third parties may themselves transfer, store or otherwise process that information anywhere in the world. In each case, we will comply with any legal requirements concerning the transfer of your personal data by us to any third party outside the country where we are established, and where your personal data is still controlled by us or is being stored or otherwise processed on our behalf, our security measures will also apply.

We are committed to doing what we reasonably can to keep your personal data secure, and we are obliged by law to put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures against unauthorised or unlawful processing of your personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, your personal data. We have accordingly implemented security policies, rules and technical measures with a view to achieving this:
- We use Secured Socket Layer (“SSL”) software in order to encrypt the personal information that you provide to us whilst it is in transit over the internet. This will work if your browser is SSL enabled (which most are). You can verify that this is working by looking for the symbol of a closed lock or solid key on the bottom bar of your browser window, and checking that the prefix for the web address in the browser address bar has changed from “http” to “https”.
- The personal information we collect from you online is stored by us and/or our service providers on databases protected through a combination of physical and electronic access controls, firewall technology and other reasonable security measures.
- For your own privacy protection, we encourage you to maintain anti-virus and other malware protection software on your computers and other devices, and to maintain your own measures to protect your personal data. Please do not include sensitive personal data in any e-mails you may send to us, including payment card information. We also encourage you to be careful about who you give personal data to. We never contact you to ask you for sensitive personal data, such as payment card information, or sensitive personal data such as passport numbers or log-in details, and we will only ask you for such information in person or through our website, or by telephone in connection with a booking you are making or have made.

Our Privacy Statement prohibits us from accepting users who are under the age of 18 and all persons under the age of 18 are directed not to use, post information to or submit queries on this website. Should we inadvertently acquire personal information or other data from users under the age of 18, we will not knowingly provide this data to any third party for any purpose whatsoever, and any subsequent disclosure would be due to the fact the user under age 18 used the website and submitted personal information without solicitation by or permission from us.

Please note that we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes and/or to complete any transactions that you began prior to requesting a change or deletion. There may also be residual information that will remain within our databases and other records, which will not be removed. In addition, there may be certain information to which we are unable to enable you to review, for legal, security, or other reasons.

13. RETENTION

Health & Safety Info
Health and Safety Information - Covid-19

At The Mustard Seed, our guest's experience has always been the cornerstone and in light of the evolving COVID 19 pandemic, we are focused on the health and safety of both our guests and employees, without compromising the 'Mustard Seed' experience and always with your comfort, security and trust as priority.

We are fully committed to adhering to the advice and protocol from the WHO and national and international authorities and in line with the current HSE guidelines, we have implemented several new practises, overlapping our already strict hygiene procedures to ensure your time spent with us is safe, seamless and thoroughly enjoyable.

Among the measures we are implementing are
- Appropriate training has been arranged for all staff members in accordance with the Return to Work Safely guidelines from the HSA, HSE and the Department of Health.
- Temperature checks on all staff members arriving to work.
- We have enlisted the support of Saphai Medical and on their recommendation, we will be using 'Clinimist, an electrostatic misting device for the rapid dispensing of disinfectants. The 'Clinimist' can disinfect a 5mx5m room in less than 10 minutes so we are very confident that this will maintain the cleanliness of both the dining rooms and reception rooms downstairs along with each of the guest bedrooms through the house.
- Hand sanitizing stations will be positioned both at the main, front door and throughout the reception areas and we ask all guests to follow the recommend guidelines.
- In order to adhere to the social distancing recommendations, we have restricted the number of tables in the dining room and will be carefully allocating individual seating times. To ensure you receive the best possible service and enjoyment, we respectfully ask for your cooperation with seating times.
- All menus will be single use and recyclable and while the wine list will be in operation, we can also send you a copy by email.
- For residents, we have introduced a slightly later check in time of 3.00pm to allow our housekeepers the necessary time to deep clean and sanitize your room. If you require an earlier check in time, please call ahead and we will do our utmost to accommodate you.
- With your assistance, the check in process will be swift and prompt.
- Should you require the directory of services, we can email a copy to you prior to or during your stay.
As Fáilte Ireland continue to update us regularly on the latest guidelines, the situation remains fluid. One certainty is that while we may not be able to shake hands and greet you in the manner with which we are accustomed to, the warmest of welcomes awaits you.

Thank you for your co operation and continued support.

Thank you!
