Privacy notice and data protection

Your privacy deserves careful planning.

Jenkins Weddings treats personal information with the same care we bring to a wedding day. This wedding planner privacy policy explains what we collect, why we use it, and the choices available to you under UK GDPR.

01 / About this notice

Privacy Policy – Jenkins Weddings

Jenkins Weddings is the data controller for personal information collected through wedding planning enquiries, client work, supplier coordination, and this website.

Our privacy notice for wedding services applies when you contact us, ask us to plan an event, share information through our client portal, or communicate with us during preparation. It also covers information we receive from a partner or supplier when it is needed to provide your service.

We keep our requests focused. That means we can understand your plans without asking for personal details that have no clear purpose.

02 / What comes to us

Information We Collect

The information depends on where you are in the planning process. We collect it directly whenever possible.

  • Contact information
  • Wedding date and location
  • Budget range and planning priorities

Client information

Once you instruct us, records may include your contract, invoices, payment details, supplier correspondence, seating plans, and guest information you choose to share.

  • Planning documents and decisions
  • Financial records for accounting
  • Guest details supplied for event delivery

Website usage

We may receive anonymised information about visits, such as pages viewed, approximate location, device type, and referral source, to understand how the site is used.

03 / Why we use it

How We Use Your Data

Every use has a practical reason. We use information to plan your wedding, keep our records accurate, and meet our legal duties.

Marketing is optional. You can change your mind at any time.

Deliver the service

We use your details to prepare timelines, manage budgets, coordinate suppliers, answer planning questions, and carry out on-the-day execution.

Work with your suppliers

We share relevant information with venues, caterers, florists, transport providers, and other suppliers when it is needed to arrange the agreed service.

Send selected updates

With your consent, we may send planning guidance, service news, or newsletters. Each message gives you a clear way to stop receiving marketing.

Meet legal duties

We retain appropriate contracts, invoices, and accounting records, respond to lawful requests, and protect our systems from misuse.

04 / Control and retention

Data Retention & Your Rights

We keep information only for as long as its purpose, a contract, or the law requires. Our retention periods are reviewed when a matter closes.

Client records are held in encrypted storage and our secure client portal is restricted to people who need access for planning work. Paper records, where used, are kept securely.

You have rights under UK GDPR. Some requests have legal limits, and we will explain those limits plainly.

Your available rights

  • Ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Ask us to erase information when there is no lawful reason to keep it.
  • Object to direct marketing or ask us to restrict certain processing.
Record type Typical period
Enquiry information 2 years after our last contact
Client and accounting records 7 years after the relevant engagement

If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, contact us first. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
