Payment information, processed securely by Wix Payments, Stripe or PayPal depending on how you order. We do not store full card details ourselves

-
Process payments and deposits

With your consent, send occasional updates about our work by email. You can unsubscribe at any time
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with third parties beyond those needed to run the business, listed below.
Who we share information with
-
Wix.com — hosts the website and processes contact form submissions

Some of these providers are based outside the UK. Where that's the case, they operate under standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards recognised under UK GDPR.
How long we keep your information
Client portal and correspondence data, held in Dubsado, is deleted 12 months after your wedding. A smaller set of records needed for accounting purposes (name, date, and order value) is retained for 6 years in line with HMRC requirements, after which it's securely deleted.
