Also the approximate guest count, how you heard about Jamie and the event details you write. Studio Ninja runs the form.

• Business contacts: for wedding planners, venues and other event businesses, a name, job title, business email address, business phone number and company name.
• Website use: Vercel Analytics counts page views without cookies. If you accept analytics cookies, PostHog also records how you use the pages, under a random id. PostHog hides form fields in these recordings and cannot see the enquiry form. The cookie policy lists each cookie and how long it lasts.

• To reply to your enquiry, check his availability and send a quote. Basis: steps you ask for before a contract (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)).

• To keep accounts and tax records. Basis: a legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)).

• To count visits with PostHog and improve the site. Basis: your consent (Article 6(1)(a)), which you give in the cookie banner.
• To count page views with Vercel Analytics, which uses no cookies. Basis: legitimate interests, because Jamie needs to know which pages people use.

Jamie does not sell your data. He does not use it for automated decisions or profiling.

Jamie uses these services to run his business. Each one uses your data only to give Jamie its service.

• Studio Ninja(Studio Ninja Pty Ltd, Australia) runs the enquiry form and Jamie's client records. Its policy says most of its data processors are in Australia, so your enquiry data can leave the European Economic Area (EEA). Its policy also explains the safeguards it uses for these transfers.

Jamie shares data with Revenue or another public body only when the law requires it.

When a service stores data outside the EEA, Jamie relies on a legal safeguard for the transfer. Examples are an EU adequacy decision, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. Email Jamie for details.

• Enquiries that do not become bookings: deleted within 24 months of the last contact.
• Booking records, invoices and payment records: kept for 6 years, because Revenue requires business records to be kept for six years.
• Emails and WhatsApp messages: kept as long as the enquiry or booking they belong to.
• Business contacts: kept while you work with Jamie. Deleted within 24 months of the last contact if you do not reply. If you object, Jamie keeps only your email address on a do-not-contact list, so he does not contact you again.
• Analytics data: kept for no more than 24 months.

You have the right to:

• get a copy of the data Jamie holds about you (access);
• have wrong data corrected;
• have your data deleted, when Jamie has no legal reason to keep it (erasure);
• limit how Jamie uses your data (restriction);
• object when Jamie uses your data on the basis of legitimate interests;
• object to direct marketing at any time, and Jamie then stops;
• get the data you gave Jamie in a common digital format, or have it sent to another business (portability);
• withdraw your consent at any time. For analytics cookies, use Cookie settings. This does not change what happened before you withdrew.

To use a right, email jamieskelton@dublinmagician.ie or call 086 359 6976. Jamie replies within one month and does not charge. He can ask you to prove who you are before he sends any data.

This part is for wedding planners, venues and other event businesses that Jamie contacted first. He took your business contact details from your public business website. He uses them only to tell you about his services for the events you plan or host.

You can object at any time (GDPR Article 21). Reply to his email with “no thanks”, or email jamieskelton@dublinmagician.ie. Jamie then stops all contact.

If you are not happy with how Jamie uses your data, tell him first, so he can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Data Protection Commission, the Irish data protection authority: dataprotection.ie.

Jamie updates this notice when his services or the law change. The date at the top shows the last change.
