PRIVACY POLICY
There are rules and regulations that govern how companies use and retain your information. I am required to outline the rules on my website. If you are would like to know more detail about the data protection rules you can visit the Information Commissioner’s Office.
What information is being collected?
If you are just browsing my site for details of my services and prices, no information is collected. If, as I hope you will, you have used my contact us webform to ask me for more information about my services or enquire about booking a discovery call, I will be taking your name/email/telephone number and the relevant information about your ceremony.
How do I use your data?
When someone visits my website I use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information. This gives me information about the number of visitors to the site which enables me to make improvements. I am not able to identify those visiting my website. Once I have received your initial enquiry I will contact you as requested. Should you decide to use my services, I have outlined how I store your data below. If for any reason you decide not to use my services I will delete your details from my inbox within 3 months of your enquiry; so please DO let me know if you have found a Celebrant that meets your requirements elsewhere and I will delete your enquiry. Your information will not be shared with anyone without your permission – and there isn’t anything that I do that would require me to do this anyway.
Who is collecting your data?
Only me, and I do this either via webform submission, phone call, or email. If you book me for your ceremony I will retain your information on spreadsheets on my computer which can only be accessed by me. This information is also stored in the cloud, just in case everything crashes (damn those tech gremlins). But it’s all password protected, and only I know the password!
I take your privacy super seriously so I will also ask you to read and sign some information regarding GDPR in your contract.
Why is it being collected?
To be able to do my job I need to retain some of your data! I need to be able to contact you in the lead up to your big day as we work together to create your ceremony, and you may choose to share other personal information with me so that I can work it into your story.
Is the intended use likely to cause individuals to object or complain?
I cant think of a reason for objection or complaint if we are working together, it is best practice to maintain some form of system to record details for the duration of our working relationship.
