Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

GreenWave Heat Pumps Limited (CRO 811710) is a heat pump performance consultancy based in Ireland. We provide free online heat pump health checks and engineer-led service visits. Our contact email is hello@greenwaveireland.ie and our Data Protection contact is dpo@greenwaveireland.ie.

2. What data we collect

When you complete a GreenWave assessment, we collect:

• Your name, email address, and phone number
• Your property eircode, county, and property type
• Information about your heat pump (brand, model, approximate age)
• Information about the issues you have reported (complaints, fault codes, comfort concerns)
• Your electricity supplier and approximate monthly bill
• Any photographs you choose to upload or email to us
• Your GDPR and monitoring consent choices

If you book an engineer visit, we additionally collect scheduling information (preferred dates and access details) and the engineer's on-site findings, before and after system readings, and any report generated during or after the visit.

3. How we use your data

We use your data to:

• Generate your heat pump health indicators and recommended service
• Send you your assessment results and reference number by email
• Review your case and issue a quote if appropriate
• Schedule and carry out engineer visits
• Generate your written service report and make it available in your personal portal
• Contact you about the status of your case, booking, or report
• If you have consented, send occasional tips and seasonal heat pump guidance

We do not use your data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Our system generates health indicators automatically but all case decisions are reviewed by a GreenWave engineer.

4. Legal basis for processing

We process your data on the following legal bases under GDPR:

• Contract performance — processing necessary to provide the assessment and engineer services you have requested
• Legitimate interests — processing necessary to operate and improve our service, provided your interests do not override ours
• Consent — for marketing communications and performance monitoring, which you can withdraw at any time

5. Who we share your data with

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share data with:

• GreenWave engineers assigned to your case (name, contact, property address, system details)
• Our infrastructure providers (cloud hosting and database services) under data processing agreements
• Email delivery services used to send your results and confirmation emails

6. How long we keep your data

We retain your assessment and case data for 7 years from the date of your last interaction with GreenWave. This allows us to maintain a service history for your property and comply with any warranty or legal requirements. You can request earlier deletion by emailing dpo@greenwaveireland.ie.

7. Your rights under GDPR

You have the right to: access a copy of your data, correct inaccurate data, request deletion of your data, restrict or object to processing, and data portability. To exercise any of these rights, email dpo@greenwaveireland.ie. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission Ireland at dataprotection.ie.
