Crafting the After Last updated: 14 September 2026

Who we are

Crafting the After is operated by Fiona MacDermott, trading as Crafting the After ("we", "us", "our"), 33 The Drive, Barnhall Meadows, Leixlip, Co. Kildare, W23 RRY9, Ireland.

For any question about this policy or your data, contact: fiona@craftingtheafter.ie

What data we collect

When you use the contact form: name, email address, and the content of your message.

When you book an Initial Conversation or coaching session: name, email address, and any details you provide through the booking tool (Zoom Scheduler), including your chosen appointment time and any answers to attendee questions asked at booking.

When you browse the website: standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited, collected automatically through website analytics and cookies (see our Cookie Policy below).

We do not collect any special category data (such as health information) through the website itself. Any such information shared later, in the course of coaching work, is governed separately by our coaching agreement and confidentiality terms, not by this policy.

Who we share it with

We use a small number of third-party service providers to run the website and booking process. These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy and security terms:

  • Squarespace — website hosting and website analytics

  • Zoom Scheduler and Google Calendar — appointment booking and calendar management

  • Our email provider — for correspondence you send or receive from us

Some of these providers may process or store data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including in the United States. Where this happens, it is done under an approved data transfer mechanism such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses, as provided by each service.

We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with anyone for their own marketing purposes.

How long we keep it

We retain personal data collected through enquiries or bookings for the duration of any working relationship, and for 12 months after that relationship ends, after which it is deleted. Website analytics data is retained according to the relevant provider's standard retention settings.

Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you

  • Have inaccurate data corrected

  • Request deletion of your data

  • Restrict or object to certain processing

  • Receive your data in a portable format

  • Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, contact fiona@craftingtheafter.ie. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie), Ireland's supervisory authority.

Children's privacy

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision.

Cookie Policy

Crafting the After Last updated: 14 September 2026

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and give us a general sense of how the site is used.

Cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies — required for the website to function correctly (for example, security and session management provided by Squarespace). These cannot be switched off, as the site will not work properly without them.

Functional cookies — used by the Zoom Scheduler booking widget to let you book and manage appointments.

Analytics cookies — used to understand how visitors use the site (pages visited, time spent, general navigation patterns), so we can improve it. These are only set with your consent.

Exact cookie names and durations depend on which tools are active on the live site; Fiona should confirm the specific list shown in Squarespace's own cookie consent banner once analytics is switched on, and update this section to match if it differs from the categories above.

Managing cookies

When you first visit the site, you'll be asked to accept or decline non-essential cookies through a consent banner. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's cookies for this site or adjusting your browser's cookie settings directly. Declining non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to browse the site, contact us, or book an appointment.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties whose tools are embedded on the site (for example, Zoom Scheduler or Google Calendar integrations). These are governed by the relevant third party's own cookie and privacy policies.
