We collect information you provide directly to us when using MyIrishWages. For PRO users, this includes your email address for account creation. For all users, we process shift hours, wage rates, and custom settings necessary to provide our calculation services. For self-employed (Sole Trader) PRO users, we also process the business income, expenses, and VAT figures you enter so we can produce your tax and VAT estimates and accountant export.
How you found us — only if you accept. We would like to store one short label recording how you first reached MyIrishWages — for example "Google Ads", "Google search", "Direct", or the website that linked to us — and to let our Google Ads tag measure which ads bring workers to the app. Neither is necessary to run the app, so neither happens unless you accept on our cookie banner. Our lawful basis for storing the label on your device is your consent; once lawfully collected, we rely on our legitimate interest in understanding which channels actually help Irish workers find the app, so that a small independent company does not waste its budget guessing. If you reject, or simply never answer, nothing non-essential runs and your signup records as "Direct" — an honest undercount is a price we are happy to pay. We keep it deliberately minimal: it is a single channel label, not a profile, and we do not follow you around other websites. It is never sold, never shared, and never used to decide what you see or what you pay. If you never create an account, it never leaves your device. You can change your answer at any time on our Cookie Policy page, and you can ask us to erase the label — see "Your GDPR Rights" below.
If you use the free, offline version of the app, your shift and wage data is stored locally on your device (via Local Storage). We do not have access to this local data. If you upgrade to a PRO account, your data is securely synced to our cloud database to provide cross-device access and backup features.
We use trusted third-party services to operate our application safely. Authentication, database, and file hosting are provided by Supabase. Payment processing is handled securely by Stripe. General transactional emails (such as account and billing notifications) are sent through Make.com. AI support-chat messages and receipt-scan photos (PRO accounts only) are processed by Anthropic to generate replies and read receipt details. We do not store your credit card details on our servers. These providers are bound by strict data protection agreements.
Google Ads (only if you accept). We advertise to reach Irish workers, and Google's advertising tag lets us measure which ads lead to a signup. Unless you accept on our cookie banner, that tag is never loaded at all — no script is fetched, nothing is stored on your device, and your browser makes no request to Google, so Google is not told you were here. If you accept, the tag loads, may set advertising and analytics storage in your browser, and Google acts as an independent controller for that measurement — see Google's own privacy policy. If you reject or never answer, it simply never loads, and you can withdraw an earlier acceptance at any time on our Cookie Policy page.
Sending your export to your accountant (Sole Trader PRO). If you choose to send your accountant pack, the export file is saved to your own private storage area, and a secure download link that automatically expires after 7 days is emailed — from our own server, over an encrypted connection — to the accountant email address you enter in your settings. The file itself is never attached to the email, and only someone holding the link can open it during those 7 days. You control who receives it: we send the link only to the address you provide.
Logged-in PRO users can use our in-app AI assistant. When you send a message, your question — together with a summary of the figures already calculated on your device (for workers, your own pay breakdown; for company admins, your company's pay rules) — is sent to our AI processor, Anthropic, to generate a reply. We only ever send your own data — never anyone else's. These messages are processed only to answer your question and are not used to train AI models. The assistant provides estimates and general help with the app — not official tax, legal, or payroll advice.
Sole Trader (self-employed) PRO users can take a photo of a business receipt and have our AI read it to pre-fill the expense fields. When you use this, the receipt image is sent to our AI processor, Anthropic, only to extract the details (merchant, date, amount, VAT, category) — which you then review and confirm. Receipt images are processed only for this purpose and are not used to train AI models. Receipts you save are kept in your own private storage area, readable only by you. Scanning is optional — you can always enter expenses by hand.
To help colleagues set up the app faster, PRO users can generate a "Magic Invite". When you share this link, it creates a secure, anonymous bridge that allows the invited user to clone generic company payment rules — specifically, cutoff dates, overtime rate multipliers, how overtime is settled (paid or banked as time in lieu), night premium rates, and scheduled pay increases.
If you join through a company (employer) invite, these same generic payment rules are pre-loaded for you. Your employer may later update them (for example, applying a general pay increase); when they do, you will be prompted to sync the changes into your app. Only these generic pay rules are shared — any pay increase you add yourself stays private to your account.
Privacy Guarantee: This feature is built with "Privacy by Design". Personally Identifiable Information (PII), such as your email, exact salary, hours worked, scheduled shifts, and tax details, are strictly isolated by our database security rules and are never shared with the invited user.
Your data is used exclusively to operate, maintain, and improve the app. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Support: When you contact us for help, our support team may access the data in your own account solely to investigate and resolve your specific issue. We only ever look at your data at your request, and never for any other purpose.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. You can exercise these rights at any time by contacting us.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or wish to request data deletion, please contact us at: support@myirishwages.com
