EU Data Act Notice

Version 1.0 Effective: 18 August 2026
🇪🇺

This is the European version

It applies where your counterparty is OnFire Messenger Ltd. (Ireland, company number 796932). If you are in the United States, your counterparty is OnFire Messenger Inc. and the United States terms and United States Privacy Policy apply to you instead.

Who You Are Contracting With

OnFire is operated by two companies. Which one you contract with depends on where you are located.

If you are located inYour counterparty isRegistered office
The European Economic AreaOnFire Messenger Ltd., registered in Ireland, company number 79693277 Camden Street Lower, Dublin, D02 XE80, Ireland
The United StatesOnFire Messenger Inc., registered in Delaware254 Chapman Rd, Ste 209, Newark, DE 19702, United States

This document is the version that applies where your counterparty is OnFire Messenger Ltd. If your counterparty is OnFire Messenger Inc., the corresponding United States version applies to you instead, and is available in the OnFire Legal Center at https://onfire.so/legal.

If you are located outside both the European Economic Area and the United States, contact [email protected] and we will confirm which terms apply to you before you rely on this document.

Data protection. Where this document concerns personal data, the company named above as your counterparty is the data controller for your personal data. For users in the European Economic Area that is OnFire Messenger Ltd., and the supervisory authority is the Irish Data Protection Commission. For users in the United States that is OnFire Messenger Inc., and the rights set out in the United States Privacy Policy apply instead.

If you move, or deal across regions. The company you contract with is determined by where you are located when you use the Services. If you relocate permanently to the other region, the version applying to that region will govern your use of the Services from that point. Dealing with a user, merchant, courier, driver or host located in the other region — for example, buying from a seller in the United States while you are in the European Economic Area — does not change which company you contract with, and does not affect any mandatory consumer protection you have under the law of your country of residence.
