Here’s how we let visitors to our website know about our email mailing list:
As part of the registration process for our e-newsletter, we collect personal information.

We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses. We ask your consent, inform you how to unsubscribe, etc. when you subscribe.
We use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice. You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by sending an email to Unsubscribe@OneEight.ie
Third Parties
We don’t share any of collected personal data with third parties for marketing purposes, such as sharing email lists or phone numbers. We only share the data with our sister companies (water treatment companies). Sometimes we need to share the data with some of other sister companies – for example to make an installation of a new water system to service your water systems in your area where we might have vans of our sister company on the road.
But we won’t send you any promotional emails or messages or contact you via other channels regarding special offers on behalf of the sister companies unless you select this option on a contact form / data update page on our website or other place or request it form us or a sister company.
