Privacy Policy

I am committed to safeguarding the privacy of my website users and clients. This policy applies to anyone browsing my website or engaging with me for the services I provide.

I use cookies on my website, your consent is requested when you first visit and your continued use of the site.

Who am I

I am Lisa Ball and my website address is: https://sakuraceremonies.co.uk.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site I collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Contact

I may process information you provide in any enquiry submitted to me regarding the provision of services. The enquiry data may be processed for the purposes of offering, marketing and selling services to you. The legal basis for this processing this data is to create a contract between you and me for the provision of services.

During our conversations I will keep notes about you and your wishes for your ceremony. These notes are only available to myself and kept only for the provision of services to you.

Transactions

I may process transaction information, including purchases of services, that you enter into with me. This data may include your contact details and the transaction details. The legal basis for this processing is to provide services under a contract that we enter into.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

I use Google Analytics to monitor site use to enable me to create a better user experience.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

I may process data about your use of the website and services. The usage data may include your IP address, location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, time spent on site, page views and website navigation behaviours. The source of the usage data is Google Analytics. This usage data may be processed for the purposes of analysing the effectiveness of the website. The legal basis for this processing is solely to monitor and improve the website.

Who I share your data with

I may disclose your personal data to professional advisers if it is necessary in order to obtain or maintain insurance coverage, manage risks, receive professional advice, or the establishment or defence of legal claims.

Personal data held in my website database or email will be stored on the servers of our hosting services providers.

I may disclose your personal data where necessary for compliance with a legal obligation or in order to protect your interests or the interests of another person.

Google Analytics data is available to Google, myself and website administrators.

How long I retain your data

Your data will be retained for the maximum period necessary for me to provide my services, monitor my website activity and comply with tax and banking regulations.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data I hold about you, including any data you have provided to me. You can also request that I erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
