This page gives important information about how we collect and use the personal information of our clients. We also want to let you know your rights in respect of your personal information.
If you are a customer of a broker or financial institution using our solutions, this statement does not relate to you. Please refer to the privacy statement they make available to you on their website, in their terms and conditions, or in any engagement letter.
This statement relates to personal information we collect and process as the data controller:
- before being appointed as a solutions provider;
- when clients engage us as their solutions provider; and
- when we provide our solutions and services to clients.
If you represent or work for a client or prospective client of OnlineApplication.ie, your personal information (such as contact details, role, responsibility, and engagement with us), will be processed in accordance with this statement, but only in the context of the client’s engagement with us.
If you are a sole trader or a partnership, any information relating to your business will be treated by us as being your personal information.
What do we use your personal information for?
Promoting our solutions
We may obtain your personal business contact details (such as email, telephone number, address, position) from you, or from publicly available sources (like LinkedIn).
When we promote our solutions, or respond to your request to receive information about them, we will process your personal information in our legitimate interest for the purposes of contacting you in respect of, and providing you with information on, our solutions.
If you no longer wish us to contact you, please let us know. You can also opt-out of receiving our direct marketing emails at any time.

If you enquire about our services (including through our contact page) we use information you provide as part of that enquiry, or in subsequent related communications, only for the purposes of:
- contacting you in connection with our solutions;
- providing you with information about our solutions; and
- responding to, progressing, and managing your enquiries and requests.
Your personal information is processed in this way, either:
- to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract with you; and/or
- in our legitimate interests for the conduct and management of our business including, most importantly, giving the business you represent the best service and products we can and meeting your expectations.
You can object at any time to our processing of your personal information for these purposes, including by emailing us at privacy@OnlineApplication.ie. However, we may not then be able to respond to your enquiry or provide you with further assistance.
