What personal data do I collect, and why do I collect it?

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, this data is collected along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Contact

I may process the information you provide in any enquiry submitted to me regarding the provision of services. The enquiry data may be processed for the purposes of offering, marketing, and selling services to you. The legal basis for processing this data is to create a contract between you and me for the provision of services.

During our conversations, I will keep notes about you and your wishes for your ceremony. These notes are only available to me and kept only to provide services to you.

Transactions

I may process transaction information, including purchases of services, that you enter into with me. This data may include your contact details and the transaction details. The legal basis for this processing is to provide services under a contract that we enter into.

All Data

I may process personal data identified in this policy where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. The legal basis for this processing is to protect my legal rights, your legal rights, and the legal rights of others.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on my site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies will last for one year and are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment.

If you have an account and log in to this site, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

I use Google Analytics to monitor site use to enable me to create a better user experience.

How Long Do I Retain Your Data?

Your data will be retained for the maximum period necessary for me to provide my services, monitor my website activity and comply with tax and banking regulations.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
