Data Protection

The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) requires all businesses who collect and use personal information, to do so in a manner that protects your privacy and rights.  The GDPR covers the processing of all personal data.  I will treat your data with the utmost care and will only use or share it for the purposes agreed with you in advance.

Any personal or family details discussed are purely for the purposes of writing your ceremony, which you will see and approve once full payment has been received.  I will not disclose any of these details to anyone who is not involved or connected to your ceremony or has not been invited as your guest unless I have your written consent.  All notes that are taken are shredded after use.  Scripts are retained on secure computer files.  I will not disclose any of these details to any other party unless I have written consent from you both.

All personally identifiable data will be destroyed after six years of your ceremony taking place.

I will not give your details to any third party, except at your request, or where required to do so by law under duress of any legal proceeding or investigation.

All personal and sensitive information collected will be treated as “Confidential” and no unauthorised person will be permitted to have access to it.

Equality & Diversity Policy

Equality and diversity is about ensuring everybody has an equal opportunity, and people are not treated differently or discriminated against because of their individual and unique characteristics. It is about taking account of the differences between people and groups of people, and placing a positive value on those differences. It is something that applies to everyone, and should be part of everything we do. It is an important part of my work as  celebrant and not just a side issue. It is important to recognise that none of us fit neatly into separate ‘packages’ which can be neatly labelled or discriminated against. The Equality Act 2010 legally protects people from discrimination.

Under the Equality Act (2010) people are protected from discrimination on these grounds:

  • Ethnicity

  • Sex

  • Gender reassignment

  • Disability

  • Religion and belief

  • Age

  • Sexual orientation

  • Pregnancy and maternity

  • Marriage and civil partnerships

Everyone has something about them that is different. It makes no sense to discriminate or stereotype people because they are different from us. As a celebrant I am dedicated to encouraging a supportive and inclusive culture throughout my wedding service as outlined in the Equality Act 2010. I positively welcome and aim to support the growing diversity of the community that I serve as a celebrants. I celebrate diversity and honour each person’s right to live life as the unique human being they are.
