Lawful bases
​
Our lawful bases for collecting or using personal information are:
​
-
Consent
-
Legitimate interest:
-
We want to make sure everyone using our website has an efficient and enjoyable experience, so we collect user journey and behaviour information through Google Analytics or other tracking /pixel tools in order to optimise our site and content.
-
We store and process information such as name and contact details when directly collected from the visitor, for example when they fill out our contact form. This is so that we can respond to questions and enquiries.
-
​
Where we get personal information from
​
-
People directly (for example, when you fill out our contact form on the website).
-
CCTV footage, or other recorded images
-
We may use third party digital services such as Wix Bookings or social media pixel tracking services like Facebook to collect data. We may collect images and videos from photographers and other suppliers who attend events and use these for marketing purposes.
​
How long we keep information
​
In general, unless still required in connection with the purpose(s) for which it was collected and/or is processed, we remove your personal information from our records five years after the date it was collected. However, if before that date (i) your personal information is no longer required in connection with such purpose(s), or (ii) you ask us to delete it we will remove it from our records at the relevant time.
​
Who we share information with
​
Google Analytics is connected to our website and helps us monitor user demographics (like gender and location data) and user journey behaviour, as well as general site performance matrics. This is so we can review any issues with the site and optimise pages to make content as relevant as possible.
​
Our website is hosted on Wix. Wix stores digital assets like photographs and all data inputted via the website, allowing us to contact you or submit data access requests on your behalf.
​
External communications (where appropriate)
​
We may share information like photographs, videos or testimonials publicly on our social media channels as well as our website. By participating in or attending an event at Little Dower House that is being filmed, you give implied consent for your images to be captured. We will only share images in our external communications with the consent of image owners (such as the photographer and wedding couple). Of course, it is your right to refuse the processing or use of your image, and you can withdraw consent at any time.
It is the event organizer and photographers’ responsibility to avoid your image being captured during an event or deleted afterwards. Please let the event organisers and/or photographers know beforehand if you do not wish to be photographed.
You may contact hamish@littledowerhouse.com to ask us to remove any image featuring you from our website or social media channels.
​
Suppliers (where appropriate)
​
We may share your name and contact details with suppliers for your event where you have requested or given us permission to do so.
​
Sharing information outside the UK
​
Where necessary, our data processors may share personal information outside of the UK. When doing so, they comply with the UK GDPR, making sure appropriate safeguards are in place. Please see Wix’s policy linked above for more information.
