Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2025 · Applies to laraweb.ie and LaraWeb-built client sites unless a separate policy is agreed in writing.

This privacy policy explains how John, trading as LaraWeb, collects and uses personal data when you use this website, submit an enquiry, or work with me on a website or web application project.

Who is responsible for your data

John (trading as LaraWeb) is the data controller for personal data collected through this website and for client projects I operate or maintain, unless another controller is named in a separate client agreement.

Website laraweb.ie and LaraWeb-built sites I host or maintain for clients.

What data I collect

Depending on how you use the site or project, I may process:

  • Identity and contact details — name, email address, phone number, business name
  • Enquiry content — project briefs, website URLs, messages you send through forms or email
  • Technical data — IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL and basic usage data
  • Project and billing data — where relevant to a build, care plan or partnership agreement
  • Cookie and analytics data — as described in the cookies section below

I do not ask for special category data unless a specific project requires it and you choose to provide it.

Why I use your data

  • To reply to enquiries and provide quotes or project updates
  • To deliver websites, applications, hosting and support you have requested
  • To improve site performance, security and enquiry routes
  • To meet legal, tax or accounting obligations where applicable
  • With consent, to send occasional service-related updates — not bought-in marketing lists

Lawful basis

Under GDPR I rely on one or more of the following, depending on the activity:

  • Contract — to respond to your request or deliver agreed work
  • Legitimate interests — to operate and secure the website, prevent abuse and improve services
  • Consent — for non-essential cookies and optional marketing where applicable
  • Legal obligation — where records must be kept for tax or compliance purposes

How long I keep data

Enquiry and project correspondence is typically kept for up to 12 months after the last meaningful contact, unless a longer period is needed for an active client relationship, legal claim or accounting requirement. Backup retention on hosting systems may extend slightly for disaster recovery.

Who data is shared with

I do not sell personal data. I use trusted processors only where needed to run the service, for example:

  • Hosting and infrastructure providers
  • Email delivery and form handling services
  • Analytics, security and performance tools
  • Payment processors when you pay an invoice online

Each processor is used under a data processing arrangement where required. Data may be processed inside or outside the EEA; where transfers occur, appropriate safeguards are applied.

Your rights

Under GDPR you may have the right to:

  • Access a copy of your personal data
  • Ask for correction of inaccurate data
  • Ask for erasure in certain circumstances
  • Restrict or object to processing in certain circumstances
  • Data portability where processing is automated and based on consent or contract
  • Withdraw consent where processing is consent-based

To exercise these rights, email [email protected]. I may need to verify your identity before responding.

Cookies

This site may use:

  • Strictly necessary cookies — required for security, forms and basic site operation
  • Analytics cookies — to understand traffic and improve pages, where enabled
  • Functional cookies — to remember preferences you choose

Non-essential cookies are used only with your consent where required by law. You can control cookies through your browser settings and any on-site consent tool shown on first visit.

Links to other sites

This website links to third-party sites such as portfolio examples, social profiles or client sites. I am not responsible for their privacy practices. Read their policies before submitting data on those sites.

Security

I use reasonable technical and organisational measures — access controls, HTTPS, backups and sensible retention — to protect personal data. No internet transmission is completely secure; you share data at your own risk when contacting me online.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy when services, tooling or legal requirements change. The current version will always be published on this page with an updated date.


How to complain

If you have concerns about how your data is handled, contact me first at [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.

Partner Terms

Commercial terms for staged website partnerships · Read alongside any written project schedule.

This Growth Partnership Agreement (“Agreement”) is between John, trading as LaraWeb (“Developer”) and you, the Partner, where you fund part of a website, web app, booking system, checkout or tracked lead-generation project through an agreed upfront payment and capped revenue share.

Parties and scope

  1. The Developer specialises in website development and practical digital systems for Irish service businesses.
  2. The Partner engages the Developer to deliver an agreed project scope, pays an agreed upfront amount before work starts, and may make capped monthly payments based on tracked attributable revenue after launch where this model is agreed in writing.
  3. The Developer delivers the agreed build. The Partner remains responsible for business operations, sales handling, fulfilment, customer service and offline activity needed to convert enquiries or orders.
  4. Attribution rules, reporting access, payment cap, review periods and exit conditions must be agreed before work starts.

Example scenario

For a project with a total cost of €2,500 where the Partner can pay €750 upfront:

  • The Partner pays €750 before work starts.
  • The remaining commercial risk may be recovered through a capped portion of tracked attributable monthly revenue.
  • Tier 1: the first €5,000 of tracked attributable monthly revenue may be charged at 10%.
  • Tier 2: revenue from €5,001 to €10,000 may be charged at 7.5% of that band.
  • Tier 3: revenue above €10,000 may be charged at 5% of that band.
  • Total payable is capped in writing before work starts — typically 1.5× to 3× project cost depending on deferred amount, risk, margin and expected upside.

Tracked revenue sharing

  1. Percentages, revenue bands, upfront amount, payment cap and review period must be agreed in a separate written schedule before work starts.
  2. Revenue sharing applies only to agreed tracked attributable revenue, not all business revenue unless expressly agreed in writing.
  3. Attribution may use analytics, CRM records, booking data, checkout data, lead source tracking, call tracking or other agreed reporting sources.
  4. Payments are calculated and invoiced monthly unless another cycle is agreed in writing.
  5. If revenue cannot be tracked reliably, the parties must agree a replacement reporting method, fixed repayment schedule, early buyout or termination route.

Payment cap, buyout and adjustment

  1. The payment cap prevents unbounded payments. Once the cap is reached and invoices are paid, the revenue-sharing obligation ends unless a new arrangement is agreed.
  2. The Partner may request an early buyout of the remaining capped balance. Any discount must be agreed in writing.
  3. The parties may review performance, attribution quality, conversion assumptions and payment structure at agreed intervals.
  4. This Agreement is a conditional commercial build agreement. It is not a loan, investment, equity offer, legal partnership or guarantee of revenue.

Termination

  1. Either party may terminate with 30 days’ notice, provided outstanding payments are settled.
  2. On underperformance or material breach, the Agreement may be adjusted or terminated by mutual agreement.
  3. If the Partner faces financial or operational difficulty that affects the project, they must inform the Developer promptly. The Developer may suspend work until issues are resolved or terms are renegotiated.
  4. The Partner remains liable for payment for work completed up to suspension or termination.
  5. The Developer retains ownership of completed work until full payment is received, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Confidentiality and intellectual property

  1. Proprietary information shared during the partnership remains confidential.
  2. The Developer retains ownership of the website or application until full payment is completed, after which ownership transfers as agreed in writing.
  3. If the partnership ends early, completed work remains the Developer’s property until all due payments are made.

General

These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts unless otherwise agreed in writing. If any provision is invalid, the remainder stays in force.
