Data Protection & Privacy Policy

As a Humanists UK celebrant, I receive personal information such as names, phone numbers and email addresses that you submit to me for the purpose of writing a ceremony script. Inevitably, a ceremony that best reflects your wishes and celebrates a life or a birth or a marriage is, by its nature, personal. Ceremonies are vehicles for stories which are valuable and meaningful. All information received by me is stored securely and is only used for the specific purpose of producing a personalised ceremony. It will not be passed on to or sold to any third parties.

Live ceremony scripts are shared with my immediate Humanists UK colleagues in the event that I am unable to undertake a ceremony owing to illness, accident or death. These scripts are erased from our shared Dropbox upon delivery. All hard copy is shredded.

The personal information that you provide for the purpose of building a funeral, naming, wedding or any other ceremony will be retained for a period of seven years in the event you require my services again and where such continuity is desirable. If you wish to have all your information erased immediately following a ceremony, or at any time thereafter, please get in touch by phone or email to confirm this and I will act accordingly.
