Privacy & Cookie Notice

Who we are

ThesisBinding.ie prints and binds theses and dissertations for university students in Ireland and the United Kingdom. This notice explains what personal information we hold, why we hold it, and what you can ask us to do with it.

You can reach us about anything in this notice by telephone on +353 87 338 3310, Monday to Friday, 9:00–17:30.

Information we collect

• Contact details you enter at checkout: your name, email address, telephone number and the postal address or collection details for your order.
• Your order details: binding style, colour, print type, quantities, delivery method, notes, voucher code and the gold-foil text for your cover and spine.
• Your document: the PDF you upload, its file name and the page count we detect from it.
• Payment information: a confirmation that a payment succeeded. Card payments are handled by Stripe, and we never see or store your full card number.
• Message details you send us through the contact form or by telephone.

How we use it

• To print, bind and deliver your order, and to reply to your questions.
• To send you an order confirmation with your reference number and the details of what you ordered.
• To keep accounting and tax records of orders placed with us.
• To prevent fraudulent or abusive orders and to keep our website secure.

The file you upload

Your PDF is used only to print and bind your thesis. It is stored privately and can only be opened by us with a time-limited link. We do not read, publish, share or reuse your work.

Who we share it with

We use a small number of service providers to run the business: Stripe for card payments, an email service to send order confirmations, and the hosting providers that store our website, database and files. They only receive what they need to do that job.

We never sell your personal information, and we do not share your document with anyone outside the printing process.

Cookies and measurement

The site uses the storage needed to work, for example to keep your order details together while you configure it. We also measure visits with a Google Ads tag so we can see which pages people find us through. You can block or clear cookies in your browser settings, and the site will continue to work.

How long we keep it

Order and invoice records are kept for six years, as Irish tax law requires. Your uploaded PDF is deleted once your order is complete and any query about it has been settled, and no later than twelve months after your order date.

Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation you can ask us to:

• Tell you what personal information we hold about you, and give you a copy of it.
• Correct anything that is wrong or incomplete.
• Delete information we no longer need, where the law allows it.
• Pause or limit how we use it, or object to how we use it.
• Send your information to you or to another provider in a portable format.

To make a request, telephone us on +353 87 338 3310 and we will respond within one month. If you are unhappy with how we handled your information you can complain to the Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.

Changes to this notice

If we change how we handle personal information we will update this page and the date shown above.
