Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This privacy policy explains how I, Peter Thompson, Professional Toastmaster, collect, use and protect your personal information when you contact me, use this website or engage me to provide toastmaster services.

I take the privacy of my clients and website visitors seriously and handle personal information in accordance with UK data protection law, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Information I collect

I may collect personal information that you provide to me when you make an enquiry, communicate with me or book my services. This may include:

  • your name;
  • email address;
  • telephone number;
  • your preferred method of contact;
  • information you include in an enquiry or other correspondence;
  • details relating to your wedding or event; and
  • information required to arrange and provide my services.

I do not use this website to collect personal information for advertising or marketing purposes.

Cookies

This website does not use cookies to track visitors or collect personal data.

How I use your information

I use personal information where necessary to:

  • respond to enquiries and provide quotations;
  • communicate with prospective and existing clients;
  • arrange, plan and provide my toastmaster services;
  • administer bookings and payments;
  • maintain appropriate business and financial records; and
  • comply with my legal obligations.

My lawful basis for processing your information will generally be that it is necessary in order to respond to your request before entering into a contract, to perform a contract with you, to comply with a legal obligation, or for my legitimate interests in operating and administering my business.

Sharing your information

I do not sell or trade your personal information.

Where necessary in connection with your wedding or event, I may share relevant information with people or organisations involved in its planning and delivery, such as venues, event organisers or other suppliers.

Personal information may also be processed by service providers that I use to operate my business, such as website hosting, email or IT providers. I only share information where there is a legitimate reason to do so and only to the extent necessary.

How long I keep your information

I keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet any legal, accounting or record-keeping requirements.

Information relating to enquiries that do not result in a booking will be deleted when it is no longer reasonably required. Information relating to clients and completed bookings may be retained for longer where necessary for business records or to comply with legal obligations.

Keeping your information secure

I take reasonable steps to protect the personal information I hold against loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure.

Your data protection rights

Under UK data protection law, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. Depending on the circumstances, these may include the right to:

  • ask for a copy of the personal information I hold about you;
  • ask me to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • ask me to delete your personal information;
  • ask me to restrict how your information is used;
  • object to certain uses of your information; and
  • ask for certain information to be transferred to you or another organisation.

You will not normally have to pay to exercise these rights.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, including making a Subject Access Request (DSAR), please contact me using the details below.
