Introduction

Welcome to Joe Seager's Privacy Notice.

I am committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This notice describes how I look after your personal information when you visit my website and tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Purpose of this Privacy Notice

Joe Seager is a "data controller". This means that I am responsible for deciding how I hold and use personal information about you. I am required under data protection law to notify you of the information contained in this notice so you are fully aware of how and why I am using your data.

The data I collect about you

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

I may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of information about you including:

• Identity data (including name, address, marital status, username or similar identifier, title, date of birth and gender).
• Contact data (including billing address, contact address, email address and telephone numbers)
• Financial data (including bank account and payment card details)
• Technical data (including internet IP address and details of technology devices you use to access this website)
• Usage data (including information about how you use this website)
• Marketing and Communications data (including you preferences in receiving marketing information from me)

How is your personal information collected?

I collect personal information about clients or prospective clients through direct interactions including website enquiries, enquiries at events or in person, enquiries through social media, telephone enquiries and other general contact methods. I collect information directly from clients/prospective clients but may sometimes collect information from third parties (e.g. wedding/event venues). I will collect further personal data throughout the course of a business relationship with a client, in order to carry out my services.

How I will use information about you

I will only use your personal information when the law allows me to. Most commonly, I will use your information in the following circumstances:

• Where I need to perform the contract I have entered into with you
• Where I need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation
• Where it is necessary for my legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests

Purposes for which I will use your personal information

I will use your personal information for the following purposes:

• To respond to enquiries about my services
• To provide information about my services
• To enter into a contact with you for my services
• To manage payment, fees and charges
• To collect money owing to me
• To manage my relationship with you
• To ask you to leave a review or take a survey
• To administer and protect my business and website
• To make suggestions and recommendations about goods or services that may be of interest to you

Marketing

Newsletters and other generic marketing material will only be sent to you with your express consent or there is a legitimate reason to send them to you (e.g. we have an ongoing relationship). You can update your preferences by contacting me using the contact details below.

If you fail to provide personal information

If you fail to provide certain information when requested I may not be able to perform the contract I have entered into with you, or I may be prevented from complying with my legal obligations.

Change of Purpose

I will only use your personal information for the purposes for which I collected it, unless I reasonably consider that I need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If I need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, I will notify you and will explain the legal basis which allows me to do so. Please note that I may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

Data Sharing

I may have to share your data with third parties, including third party service providers. I require third parties to respect the security of your data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

Data Security

I have put in place measures to protect the security of your information. Please contact me if you require further details.

Data Retention

I will only retain your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes I collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. Accounting information and contractual information will be held for at least 6 years.

Your rights in connection with personal information

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information
• Request correct of personal information I hold about you
• Request erasure of your personal information
• Object to processing of your personal information
• Request the restriction of processing of your personal information
• Request the transfer of personal information to a third party

Your right to withdraw consent
