Hello and welcome. I am Nick Underwood, operating as an independent celebrant and life-story writer. I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains how I collect, use, and look after your information when you visit my website and use my services.

​

1. Who I Am
For the purposes of data protection laws, I am the "Data Controller" of the personal information you share with me.
Business Name: Nick Underwood
Contact Email: nick@nickunderwood.co.uk
Phone Number: 07769573907

​

2. The Information I Collect About You
I may collect and use different kinds of personal information, including:
Identity Data: Your name, your partner's name, or names of family members.
Contact Data: Your email address, phone number, and home address.
Ceremony Data: The date, time, and location of your ceremony.
Marketing Data: Testimonials, reviews, and photos from your ceremony that you choose to share with me.
Technical Data: Your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, and how you use my website.

​

3. How Your Data Is Collected
I collect data from you in two main ways:
Information you give me: When you email me or call me to enquire about my services.
Information collected automatically: When you visit my website, Google Analytics and tracking cookies automatically collect data about your device and how you browse my pages.

​

4. How I Use Your Information
I will only use your personal data when the law allows me to. Most commonly, I use it to:
Answer your initial enquiry and check my availability.
Deliver my celebrant and life-story writing services, write your script (or book) and conduct your ceremony.
Improve my website using Google Analytics and tracking cookies.
Showcase my work on my website and social media, but only if you have given me explicit permission to use your testimonials and photos.

​

5. How Long I Keep Your Data
I only keep your information for as long as necessary for the intended purpose of our engagement.
Enquiries: If you do not book my services, I delete your details immediately. 
Ceremony Notes: I delete all rough notes, questionnaires, and background drafts after your ceremony takes place.
Finished Scripts: I keep a digital copy of your finished ceremony script securely on file. This allows me to provide a replacement copy if you ever lose yours.
Marketing Materials: I will keep and display your testimonials and photos until you ask me to remove them.

 

6. Who I Share Your Data With
I treat your information as strictly confidential. I do not sell your data. I will only share your ceremony details with trusted third parties when essential, such as a venue coordinator or your funeral director.

 

7. Your Legal Rights
Under data protection laws, you have the right to look at the personal data I hold about you. You can also ask me to correct any mistakes, or ask me to delete your information entirely at any time. If you wish to do this, please contact me at the email address listed above.
