Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10/07/2026
1. Introduction
Wendy Dunsmore (“I”, “me”, or “my”) is committed to protecting your personal information. This privacy policy explains how I collect, use, and store the information you provide when using my services or visiting my website [wendydunsmore-celebrant.co.uk].
2. What Data I Collect
As a celebrant, I may collect the following personal information:
Contact Information: Name, email address, phone number, and address provided via contact forms or email.
Ceremony Details: Information necessary to create your bespoke ceremony, such as names of family members, personal stories, anecdotes, and preferences for readings, music, or themes.
Communications: Records of emails or messages exchanged during the planning of your ceremony.
3. How I Use Your Data
I use your information solely for the purpose of:
Providing the services you have requested (e.g., writing and officiating a ceremony).
Communicating with you regarding bookings, drafts, and planning.
Internal record-keeping.
4. Data Sharing and Security
Confidentiality: I treat all personal stories and information shared with me with the utmost sensitivity and confidentiality.
Third Parties: I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. I will only share your data if required by law or with your explicit consent (e.g., if you ask me to coordinate with a venue or funeral director).
Security: I take reasonable steps to ensure that your data is stored securely (e.g., password-protected devices, secure cloud storage).
5. Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
Access the personal data I hold about you.
Request correction of any inaccurate information.
Request the deletion of your data (where applicable).
Withdraw consent for me to hold your data at any time.
6. Cookies
This website may use “cookies” to improve your browsing experience. You can choose to disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.
7. Contact Me
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how I handle your data, please contact me at on the contact page.
Next Steps for You:
Review your existing page: I noticed that your website already has a dedicated “Privacy Policy” page. It is highly recommended that you check that specific page first to see if it already contains the information you need, or to update that existing draft rather than creating a new one.
Verify Plugins: Since your site appears to be built on WordPress, you may have plugins (like contact forms or analytics tools) that collect data automatically. Ensure your policy mentions any third-party services you use (e.g., Google Analytics, Mailchimp, or contact form providers).
Legal Consultation: If you are unsure about your obligations, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) website provides excellent free guidance for small businesses in the UK.
