WHAT DATA ICE COLLECTS AND WHY

When we work with you we gather personal information. We may also ask you to share sensitive data about yourself which could include whether you have a disability, ethnicity and cultural background.  You do not have to agree to share it. We ask for this data to ensure you are eligible for our services, and to work towards your goals. We also use the information in a statistical way to review and plan improvements to our services.  

WHO ICE SHARES YOUR DATA WITH

Sometimes we share your information with other services that would be of benefit to you but we will always ask you about this first.  From time to time they may ask some individuals to give feedback on our service to you. We also share data with the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (DEASP).

ICE holds data on paper files and on databases in our computer system.  Our paper files are in locked cabinets when not in use. This ensures that no one sees your file unless they are working with you. Our databases are secured by passwords and the latest firewall technology which is reviewed regularly by our software contractor. We keep your data for no longer than is necessary and a maximum of seven years after you stop using our services as this is a requirement of our funding.
