What personal data we collect about you
We collect:
- personal data that you provide to us. There are several ways in which you may share your personal data with us, for example, you may contact us with an enquiry via our website, over the phone or through our social media platforms, in which case we will ask you to provide your name, the name of the organisation you work for (if relevant to your enquiry), your address, telephone number and email address. We will also receive any other personal data which you include as part of your message or enquiry. If you engage our services we may collect some further details from you, depending on the nature of the event you are asking us to organise.
- personal data that we receive from third parties. If we work with other businesses or use sub-contractors to provide you with the goods or services you request, these parties may collect personal data about you which they will share with us. For example, we may have your name and contact details passed to us by a caterer that refers you to us so that we can provide you with our services, or receive feedback from a sub-contractor we have instructed to help us provide you with goods or services that you have requested such as a florist or caterer. If we are planning and/or hosting an event for one of our clients, they may provide us with your full name, email address, phone number and postal address as part of the guest list.
- personal data about your use of our website. This is technical information and includes details such as your IP address, your login information, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, as well as details of how you navigated to our website and where you went when you left, what pages or products you viewed or searched for, page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages and page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs).
What we use your personal data for
We use your personal data in the following ways:
- personal data that you provide to us is used to:
- process and respond to any enquiry to you make;
- if you have engaged our services in relation to an event you are hosting, we will use your personal data to communicate with you regarding the planning and hosting of the event;
- if you have ordered goods from our online shop, then we will use the details provided to process your order, send you the goods, collect payment and contact you regarding any issues with the order.

Consent and other legal grounds for processing your personal data
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.

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