Privacy notice
Draft, last updated 4 November 2026
This is a working draft for our private preview. It explains in plain English what we do with your details. It is not legal advice and is not a legal assurance; it will be reviewed before any public launch.
01
Who we are
Square Metre is an independent service that helps small teams find office space in Dublin, Ireland. The operator and data controller is Decentral Limited, 17 Stephen's Green, Dublin 2, a private company registered in Ireland, CRO 625523.
For privacy questions, use the site's existing enquiry form. Open a listing and select Enquire.
02
What we collect
When you submit a brief, we collect:
- your name, email address and phone number
- your short office brief: headcount, area, monthly budget, move date and lease length
When you send an enquiry about a listing, we collect:
- your name, email address and phone number
- the listing you enquired about
- the submission channel and browser or agent User-Agent string, recorded only when you submit
Before you submit, your search and filters live only in the page memory of your browser. Nothing is saved until you press submit. If you type a one-line description of your office, it is turned into answers in your browser and is never sent or saved; only the structured answers are sent, and only when you submit.
03
Why we use it
Square Metre currently runs as a simulation. We store your brief or enquiry in our own database so the service can be tested. It is not passed to Ping Offices or any other broker or operator.
Every listing shown is listed by Ping Offices. Listings, prices and details come from Ping Offices and are shown as they list them.
04
Our lawful basis
Consent for storing your brief or enquiry in our database for this simulation. You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us, and we will delete what you sent.
05
Who we share it with
No one. In this simulation your details stay in our database only. We do not send emails or messages, forward enquiries, or book viewings.
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with advertisers.
06
Current simulation
Nothing you submit leaves Square Metre. If we ever start passing enquiries to a broker or operator, we will update this notice and ask for your consent first.
07
How long we keep it
We keep your brief, enquiries and contact details for 12 months, then delete them.
08
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct or delete your data, to object to processing, to withdraw consent, and to data portability where applicable.
To use any of these rights, use the site's existing enquiry form. Open a listing and select Enquire.
09
Complaints
You can complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.

Cookies and photos
If you select WhatsApp us, we store the listing id, page and click time in our database only, without cookies or visitor identifiers. The button opens WhatsApp with the listing details prefilled. No message is sent automatically. If you choose to send it, WhatsApp processes that message under its own privacy terms. We do not send notifications or forward your stored enquiry.
Listing photos load directly from Ping Offices servers, so your browser connects to Ping Offices when you view them. We ask your browser not to send the page address with those requests.
We use strictly necessary cookies only. There are no advertising or tracking cookies and no analytics.
