To this end it fully endorses and adheres to the Principles of Data Protection, as set out in the Data Protection Act 1998 and the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The Data Protection Act 1998 regulates the processing of information relating to living and identifiable individuals (data subjects). To do this Civil Ceremonies Ltd follows the eight Data Protection Principles outlined in the Data Protection Act 1998, which are summarised below:

The principles apply to “personal data” which is information held on computer or in manual filing systems from which they are identifiable
Personal data will not be passed on to anyone outside the organisation without explicit consent from the data owner unless there is a legal duty of disclosure under other legislation, in which case the Trustees of the Charity would discuss and agree disclosure.
