GDPR (Data Protection) The information you share with us about your shed contact details is used by us to administer your shed’s application and it is also published on our website under our ‘Find a Shed’ directory http://menssheds.ie/shed-directory/. The Find a Shed directory lets people check if there is a shed in their local area and gives them the details of who to contact if they are thinking about joining. For this reason, it is important that you let us know if your shed contact details change during the year so we can make sure that the directory stays up to date. We will only use your information in connection with our administration of the Sustainability Grant and of your shed membership.
