GDPR Statement


GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATIONS (2018)

As an Independent Civil Celebrant I work alongside you and the other professionals involved in your celebration ceremony. I am only responsible for the ceremonial part of the day.

I am committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), from 25th May 2018, businesses, regardless of size, are required to obtain explicit consent to process, keep, protect and handle all personal information relating to their clients. You have the right to access the information you provide; update and correct mistakes and you have the right to ask me to delete your information. This is called ‘the right to be forgotten’.


As Julia Jones, Celebrant, I collect information about you and your family and friends. This information is used for the sole purpose of creating a ceremony that you have commissioned.


In the case of weddings, to ensure your ceremony is as you want it, I may be required to share some of your information with your other chosen wedding suppliers. This may be your wedding planner, venue manager, photographer, florist, musician, etc, and would only be for the sole purpose of facilitating the wedding ceremony that you have commissioned.


I keep electronic copies of actual ceremonies and email correspondence between us in a secure folder within Google Drive on a password-protected website, for future reference and for my own personal tax purposes.

Please may I ask you to give your consent, to the following, by ticking the boxes:

Collecting and processing your personal data, and that of your family for the sole purpose of creating a wedding ceremony that you have commissioned.

Keeping and storing your data, as described above.

Contacting you via, email, text message, telephone or post to create the ceremony  that you have commissioned

You have the right to vary this consent at any time

I will ask you to complete a form agreeing to this at our first meeting.
