Every year, the Data Protection Commission opens investigations into Irish businesses that mishandle personal data. Co-Working Spaces in Clare are not immune — especially when it comes to monitoring member wifi usage, printing, and internet activity beyond what is necessary for network security.
Clare benefits from a diverse economy with Shannon Airport and the Shannon Free Zone forming a major employment hub for aviation, technology, and pharmaceutical companies. Tourism is a cornerstone, with the Cliffs of Moher attracting over 1.5 million visitors annually. Traditional music and cultural tourism in towns like Doolin and Ennis add further economic vitality. With around 7,100 SMEs across Clare, many co-working spaces near Ennis and throughout the county process member names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses and company and business information linked to individual members on a daily basis. Under the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, all of this data must be collected, stored, and managed lawfully.
This guide gives you a clear, actionable path to full GDPR compliance — built specifically for co-working spaces in Clare.
Yes — it's a legal requirement. Any co-working space in Clare processing personal data must meet GDPR standards. This covers everything from customer names and emails to CCTV footage and HR files.

STEP BY STEP
Provide a comprehensive privacy notice to every new member covering all data you collect — membership details, access logs, WiFi monitoring, CCTV, and event participation.
Position CCTV cameras so they do not capture members' screens or confidential documents, and display signage in all recorded areas.
Implement network security that protects member data without unnecessary surveillance of internet activity — only log what is needed for security.
Set access control data retention to a maximum of 6 months and limit who can view entry and exit logs.
Obtain explicit consent before including member names in any shared directory, Slack channel, or community mailing list.
Put data processing agreements in place with your access control provider, WiFi and network management service, CCTV provider, and booking/membership platform.
Create a separate visitor sign-in process with its own privacy notice, and delete visitor records within 30 days of the visit.
COMMON PITFALLS
Publishing a member directory or community list that includes all members' names and contact details without asking each member for consent.
Positioning CCTV cameras in shared working areas in a way that could capture members' laptop screens or confidential documents.
Logging detailed member WiFi browsing activity beyond what is necessary for network security and troubleshooting.
Not providing visitors and event attendees with a privacy notice when they sign in to the building.
