Privacy Policy

All Bright Ceremonies is committed to ensuring the security and protection of the personal information that it processes. I am also committed to developing a data protection regime that is effective, fit for purpose and demonstrates an understanding of the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) 2018. You can find out more about the new GDPR on the website of the Information Commissioner Office: www.ico.org.uk

​

If after reading this statement you have any questions, please contact me. I can be emailed at shoshanna@allbrightceremonies.co.uk.

 

Always use a secure internet server.

I ask you to read this statement carefully because it contains important information about:
• The personal information I collect about you as a customer/potential customer.
• What I do with your information and who your information might be shared with.

 

What information do I collect?

All Bright Ceremonies will treat your data with respect, and it will not be actively shared with third parties unless consent is given by the couple.

​

I may collect the following personal information that you provide:
• Your name(s).
• Address(es).
• Telephone number(s).
• Email address(es).
• Your age.
• Your sexuality.
• Your race/culture.
• Identifiable photographs.
• Details of your ceremony and chosen venue.

You can withdraw your consent to use your personal data at any time.

 

Consent (“Opt In”)

All Bright Ceremonies operates an “opt in” approach for data usage and storage. By submitting your details, using the website, or filling in forms, you are opting into data collection and usage (“implied consent”). On appointment of my services, you will also be asked to sign an opt-in data collection form.

You may opt out at any time by emailing me. Please ensure you receive written confirmation that your opt-out request has been acknowledged. Information already publicly shared (e.g., social media posts with agreed photos) cannot be recalled.

 

How I store and destroy your data

All personal and sensitive information will remain confidential.

• Paper files are stored securely at my home and destroyed after use by shredding.
• Contact forms, questionnaires and wedding scripts are stored electronically for one month after the event, unless the couple requests earlier deletion.
• Emails are kept only while relevant to the current enquiry.
• Electronic files are password-protected and firewall-secured.

Email correspondence does not include extra encryption beyond what the email providers offer. All Bright Ceremonies cannot be held liable for breaches that occur through third-party email systems.

​

Locations your data may be held:
• Password protected laptop, within encrypted folder system.

Although I take reasonable steps to secure your data, the internet cannot be guaranteed as fully secure.

​

Sharing your data with third parties

With your permission, I may contact suppliers or your venue on your behalf. Consent will always be obtained first.

Examples:
• Contacting your photographer, musician or venue to confirm ceremony logistics.
• Sharing anonymised script excerpts for professional training or advice.
• Using feedback (with your permission) for evaluation or marketing.
• Sharing financial records with my accountant for tax purposes (retained for 5 years).
• Sharing information with law enforcement or HMRC if legally required.
