Celebrant Company Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://celebrantcompany.co.uk.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymised 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 your comment is approved, your profile picture, if applicable, will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the site.

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 re-enter your details when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, several cookies will be set up to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

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 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 the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Google Analytics and Google Search Console

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about how visitors interact with our website. This helps us analyse website traffic and improve user experience. The information collected includes data such as your device type, browser type, pages visited, and the time spent on each page. This data does not personally identify you and is only used for statistical purposes.

We also use Google Search Console to monitor and maintain our website’s presence in Google search results. This helps us track website performance, identify technical issues, and optimise content for search engines.

For more information on how Google collects and processes data, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can also opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

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

For users that register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

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

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

For any questions or concerns about this policy, please contact us at jill@celebrantcompany.co.uk.
