We are committed to protecting your personal data and being transparent about how we use it. This policy applies when you visit or browse our website at weddingbellesbridal.co.uk and when you purchase products from us in store.

Our commitment to your data

  • We will only use your personal data to enhance your experience
  • We will protect your personal data
  • We will always communicate clearly and in plain language
  • We will not spam — you will be able to decide how often you hear from us
  • We will only keep your data when necessary — if we no longer need it, we will delete it

 

What data we collect and why

Your name and contact details

We use your name and contact details to:

  • Send you messages via post, text, or email where necessary to manage your appointment or order
  • Send you information and updates about promotions or designer events, but only if you give us your explicit permission to do so
  • Manage and protect our website security, including detecting and preventing fraud

Your contact history with us

We keep a record of conversations we have had with you (for example by phone or email) so that we can provide you with the best possible customer service if you contact us in the future.

Information about your device and browsing

When you visit our website, we may collect your IP address, device type, and information about how you use our site, including pages visited, date and duration of your visit. This helps us protect our site, improve its functionality, and set appropriate defaults for you. This browsing data may be aggregated and used anonymously.

Social media accounts

If you choose to link your social media accounts to us, this allows us to provide relevant recommendations and makes it easier for you to interact with us.

Promotions, competitions and surveys

If you participate in any of our promotions, competitions or surveys, we will use your details to administer these activities.

Please note: you are not obliged to provide your personal data to us. However, if you choose not to, we may not be able to provide you with our full service or a fully tailored experience. You always have the right to change your mind and withdraw your consent at any point.

We also anonymise and aggregate personal data (so it cannot identify you individually) and use it for research, data analysis, and improving our website. We may share this anonymised information with third parties.

 

Appointment bookings

We use Bridal Live to manage appointment bookings. When you book an appointment, your name, contact details, and appointment preferences are stored within Bridal Live’s booking system.

Website chat

Our website uses Chatway to provide a live chat function. If you use the chat widget, any information you share (such as your name, email address, or enquiry details) will be processed by Chatway on our behalf. Chatway acts as a data processor. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in responding to visitor enquiries promptly.
