Website cookies
This website may use cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files placed on your device to help websites work properly, remember preferences, understand visitor behaviour and improve the user experience.
Essential cookies may be used to make the website function correctly. Optional cookies, such as analytics cookies, will only be used where enabled and where appropriate consent has been given through the website cookie notice.
You can change or withdraw cookie consent using your browser settings or any cookie controls provided on this website.
Google Analytics and website statistics
This website may use Google Analytics or similar analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are visited and how people move around the website.
Analytics information is used to improve the website and client journey. I do not use this information to personally identify visitors, and I do not allow Google or any analytics provider to identify individuals through this website.
If optional analytics cookies are rejected, analytics tracking should not be used for that visit.
Enquiry forms, CRM and booking tools
When you complete an enquiry form, book a call or confirm a booking, your information may be processed through trusted service providers used to manage enquiries, bookings, client communication and event planning.
These may include enquiry form providers, CRM systems, online scheduling tools, email services, payment providers and website hosting services. These providers are only used where necessary to manage the enquiry, booking or business administration.
Payments
Payments may be made by bank transfer, Stripe, PayPal on request, or another agreed method. Payment providers process payment information according to their own privacy and security policies.
I do not store full card details on this website.
Marketing
I do not send regular newsletters or sell mailing lists.
I may occasionally contact previous or current clients about their enquiry, booking, event planning, follow-up, review request or a closely related service. I will only send wider promotional marketing where this is lawful and appropriate, and you can ask me to stop at any time.
Reviews, photographs and video
If you leave a review or testimonial, I may use your review, name and event type for promotional purposes, such as on this website, social media or online profiles.
Photographs and video from events are handled in line with my Terms and Conditions. You may opt out of promotional use of photographs or video before your event by confirming this in writing.
Close-up or clearly identifiable images of children will not be used for promotional purposes without appropriate consent.

How long information is kept
Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary.
Enquiry information may be kept for a reasonable period so I can respond properly and manage follow-up. Booking, contract, payment and invoice records may be kept for longer where needed for tax, accounting, insurance, legal or business record purposes.
Information that is no longer needed will be deleted, anonymised or securely archived where appropriate.
How information is protected
Reasonable steps are taken to keep personal information secure and to protect it against loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure.
No website, email system or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but I use trusted service providers and sensible security measures to help protect the information I hold.
