3. Where I get your information from

I usually collect personal information directly from you, for example when you contact me, purchase a product or service, complete a form or communicate with me about your wedding.

In some circumstances, I may receive information from third parties, such as wedding suppliers, venues, booking or payment platforms, or publicly available sources. Where this happens, I will only use the information for legitimate and relevant business purposes and in accordance with applicable data protection law.

Send marketing communications where you have consented to receive them. You can unsubscribe at any time.

4. How I use your information

I may use your information to:

Provide wedding planning services and digital products
Communicate with you about your purchase or enquiry
Provide customer support
Source and communicate with wedding suppliers on your behalf where this forms part of your service
Arrange meetings and planning calls
Send relevant information about your wedding
Send marketing communications where you have consented to receive them
Improve my website, products and services
Keep appropriate business and financial records
Meet legal and regulatory obligations
Protect my business against fraud or misuse

5. Legal basis for processing

Where applicable under UK data protection law, I rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

Contract – where processing is necessary to provide a product or service you have purchased.
Consent – where you have actively agreed to receive marketing communications or where consent is otherwise required.
Legitimate interests – where processing is necessary for the reasonable operation of my business, such as managing enquiries, maintaining client relationships, improving my services, preventing fraud and maintaining the security of my systems, provided that this does not unfairly override your rights and interests.
Legal obligation – where I am required to retain or process information to comply with the law.
Special category information – You may choose to provide sensitive personal information, such as information relating to health, dietary requirements, accessibility or religious or cultural requirements. I will only use this information where necessary to provide my services and where permitted by applicable data protection law.

6. Providing information

Some personal information is necessary for me to provide my products and services. If you do not provide information that is necessary, I may not be able to provide the relevant product or service.

7. Payments

Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers.

I do not normally have access to your full payment card details. Payment information is processed by the relevant payment provider in accordance with its own privacy policy and terms.

8. Sharing your information

I will not sell your personal information.

I may share relevant information with trusted third parties where necessary to operate my business or provide the service you have purchased.

This may include:

Payment providers
Website and hosting providers
Email marketing providers
Accounting or bookkeeping software
Customer relationship management systems
Cloud storage providers
Wedding suppliers where you have asked me to source, contact or coordinate with them on your behalf
Professional advisers where necessary
Government authorities or other organisations where I am legally required to do so

I only ever share information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

9. International clients and transfers

Because The 6 Month Bride works with clients internationally, some service providers I use may process information outside the UK.

Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, I will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by applicable data protection law.

10. How long I keep your information

I keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

As a general guide:

Enquiry information may be retained for up to 12 months after our last contact if you do not become a client.
Client and wedding planning information will normally be retained for the duration of our relationship and for a reasonable period afterwards.
Financial and transaction records will be retained for as long as required to meet legal, tax and accounting obligations.
Marketing information will be retained until you unsubscribe or otherwise ask me to stop sending marketing communications, subject to any information I need to retain for other legitimate or legal purposes.
Object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing

11. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights under UK data protection law including the right to:

Request access to the personal information I hold about you
Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected
Ask for information to be deleted where applicable
Ask for processing to be restricted
Object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
Request a copy of certain information in a portable format

To exercise your rights, contact me using the email address above.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your personal information has not been handled correctly.

12. Automated decision-making

I do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

13. Security

I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

However, no online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

14. Changes to this policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to my business, services or legal requirements.

The latest version will always be published on this website.
