For detailed information on the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them see our Cookie policy

Whilst we always want you to be aware of how we are using your personal data, this does not necessarily mean that we are required to ask for your consent before we can use it.  In the day to day running of our business we may use your personal data without asking for your consent because:

• we are entering into and carrying out our obligations under a contract with you;
• we need to use your personal data for our own legitimate purposes (such as the administration and management of our business and the improvement of our services) and our doing so will not interfere with your privacy rights;
• we are subject to legal obligations that require us to use your personal data in certain ways (such as disclosing information to HM Revenue & Customs).

In exceptional circumstances we may wish to use your personal data for a different purpose which does require your consent.  In these circumstances we will contact you to explain how we wish to use your data and to ask for your consent. You are not required to give consent just because we ask for it.  If you do give consent you can change your mind and withdraw it at a later date.

The most common situation in which we will process your personal data on the grounds of consent is where we wish to send marketing communications to you. Please refer to the section on How we use your personal data for marketing to read about our marketing practices.

To help you understand the legal grounds we rely on for different types of processing, we have set out an overview of the main processing activities we undertake and the relevant legal grounds below:

You are not under a legal obligation to provide us with any of your personal data but please note that if you elect not to provide us with your personal data we may be unable to provide our goods or services to you.

You have a legal right to know what personal data we hold about you – this is called the right of subject access.  You can exercise this right (or any of the other rights described below) by sending us a written request at any time. Please mark your letter “Data Subject Request” and send it to us by post or email using the details in the Who we are and how you can contact us section.

You also have rights to:

• prevent your personal data being used for marketing purposes (see How we use your personal data for marketing for further details)
• have inaccurate personal data corrected, blocked or erased
• object to decisions being made about you by automated means or to your personal data being used for profiling purposes
• restrict our use of your personal data
• require that we delete your personal data (the “right to be forgotten”)

We do not make use of automated decision making or profiling.

We share your data with the following people in the day to day running our business:

• other companies that are part of the Marble LDN group. This includes Carousel Parties Ltd, Bassline Productions Ltd and Kasimira Ltd.

Depending on the work you have engaged us to do, this could include furniture supply companies, catering supply companies, florists, lighting, sound and AV suppliers, photographers and videographers, couriers, venues, stationery suppliers, entertainment agencies, external crew companies/individuals, structure hire companies.

• credit reference agencies for the purpose of assessing your credit score where this is a condition of us entering into a contract with you

We may also share your personal information with third parties on a one-off basis, for example, if:

• we sell or buy any business or assets (including our own), in which case we will disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets
• we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our website terms of use and conditions of supply and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our customers, ourselves or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction

We take every care to ensure that your personal data is kept secure. The security measures we take include:

• only storing your personal data on our secure servers;
• encrypting any payment transactions made through our website using SSL technology;
• ensuring that our staff receive regular data security awareness training;
• keeping paper records to a minimum and ensuring that those we do have are stored in locked filing cabinets on our office premises;
• maintaining up to date firewalls and anti-virus software to minimise the risk of unauthorised access to our systems;
• enforcing a strict policy on the use of mobile devices and out of office working.

Unfortunately, sending information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of personal data sent to our website; you send us personal data at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features (some of which are described above) to try to prevent unauthorised access.

We may ask you to indicate your marketing preferences when you first register an account on our website. You can check and update your current marketing preferences at any time by calling or emailing us using the details set out in the Who we are and how you can contact us section above.

be stored on the servers of these non-UK companies outside the EEA. We will take all steps
reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with
