We are based in Ireland and process personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018.
1. Who We Are (Data Controller)
Vital Care Paediatrics is the data controller responsible for your personal data.

If you have concerns we can't resolve, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission (DPC), Ireland's supervisory authority, at www.dataprotection.ie.
2. What Personal Data We Collect
As an informational site, we collect very limited personal data:
Contact details: name and email address, only if you choose to email us directly (e.g., using the email address listed on the Site).
Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited, collected automatically via cookies and analytics (see our Cookie Policy).
We do not sell products or process payments through this Site, so we do not collect payment or order information.

Respond to enquiries you send us by email.
Send you updates, where you have opted in (you can unsubscribe at any time).

Legal or regulatory authorities, where required by law.
Some of these providers may process data outside the EU/EEA (e.g., in the United States). Where this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, as required under GDPR.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above:
