Celebrant Belle  is based in Essex.  I can be contacted via the website. I may process “personal data”  or “special category data”as defined in UK data protection legislation, including UK GDPR. This processing is part of the contracted services and/or my administration.  I realise the importance of confidentiality.

Data may be processed on paper and/or in electronic formats.  When processed electronically, data may be held on a cloud based system and/or on a local server.  Regardless of how data are processed, all feasible security measures are in place.  Data are held as long as they are relevant to the purpose for collection and/or if there is a statutory retention period.  All data are destroyed by secure means when no longer required.

Data may be shared with third parties as part of the contracted services and/or if I am required by law to do so.  I cannot accept any liability for any processing conducted by a third party outside my remit.

As part of compliance, I have conducted a cookie audit on the website.  Cookies are internet files used by the system to view websites and their content.  The website does not utilise any cookies itself (1st party cookies) but I utilise Google services through the security feature “reCaptcha”.  Google may place cookies on your system, but I have no control over the use of the data collected by these cookies. You are at liberty to disallow these cookies through your browser, but it may affect your user experience of the site.  

None of the above affects your rights under the legislation, in particular your right to access the data I hold on you.  If you wish to request a copy of your data, please submit it in writing/email to me.  Please include enough information to enable me to identify you and search for appropriate data.

If you are dissatisfied with this policy, have queries about our data protection procedures or wish to lodge a complaint, please contact me in the first instance.  Thereafter you have the right to submit a complaint to the Supervisory Authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO):
