## Recording of telephone calls

Telephone calls to and from Digital Bridge Ireland may be recorded. We tell you at the start of the call that recording is taking place, and you can ask us to stop recording or to continue the conversation by email instead. Why we record. Recordings are used only for: Lawful basis. Recording is carried out under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests): our interest in maintaining service quality, keeping an accurate record of commercial instructions, defending legal claims, and protecting the health, safety and dignity of our employees. We have assessed these interests against your rights, we do not record more than is necessary, and we do not use recordings for any purpose beyond those listed. Where a call is recorded for a purpose that requires it, we will instead rely on Article 6(1)(a) consent, obtained at the start of the call. Sensitive content. We do not intentionally record special-category data or full card details. If payment details are given by phone, that portion is not retained. Access and storage. Recordings are stored securely with access restricted to the director and authorised staff who need them for the purposes above. They are not sold, used for marketing, or published. Retention. Call recordings are retained for 6 months and then deleted, except where a recording is relevant to an active complaint, billing dispute, insurance matter, employment matter or legal claim — in which case it is retained until that matter is finally resolved. Your rights. You may request a copy of a recording of your own call, ask for it to be corrected or erased, or object to the processing, under section 7 below. Email info@digitalbridge.ie with the date, approximate time and number used so we can locate it. Where the recording is needed to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim, we may retain it despite an erasure request, as GDPR permits. If you would prefer not to be recorded, tell us at the start of the call or contact us by email — we will always offer a written alternative.

## FAQ

### How much does an AI integration project cost in Ireland?

Digital Bridge prices AI work in bands: an AI feasibility assessment from €5,000 (grant-eligible), a baseline production build from €15,000, multi-system agent workflows at €25,000–€60,000, and enterprise programmes from €40,000 to €100,000+. Small-business website builds start at €1,200. Every engagement is fixed-price against a signed scope.

### How long does a production AI build take?

A feasibility assessment runs three to five weeks. A baseline production build typically runs eight to twelve weeks from signed scope to go-live, including a seven-day shadow-mode pilot before the system takes live traffic. Multi-system programmes are sequenced into phases so value lands before the full programme completes.

### Can Irish grant funding cover this work?

Often, yes. Enterprise Ireland's Digital Discovery Grant funds up to 80% of an eligible feasibility assessment, and Digital Process Innovation funds up to 50% of eligible implementation costs. Local Enterprise Office schemes cover smaller digital projects. Eligibility is decided by the funder, never by us.

### Who owns the code and the prompts?

You do. Every engagement transfers full source-code and prompt ownership on final payment. Systems run on EU-hosted infrastructure with provider training disabled and a signed data processing agreement. There is no vendor lock-in and no proprietary runtime you have to keep paying us for.
