An important note about guest lists and guests addresses for wedding stationery

It is an option for you to provide us with a list of your guest names for wedding products, which we use to print on your stationery. This can also sometimes include using the addresses of your guests to print on invitation envelopes.

By providing us with this information, we make the assumption that you have consent from your guests that you can share this information with us. We are unable to gain this consent from your guests ourselves, and so it is your responsibility to omit any information about any guests who do not wish it to be shared with us for use on your order.

How do we use this information?

  • We use this information in the manner in which it is required. This can include guests' names being printed on stationery such as invitations, save the dates, place cards, table plans or thank you cards. It can also include printing guests' addresses on envelopes for your stationery. 
  • Once this information has been provided to us, we will hold this information as securely as possible and use it exclusively to process your order. This information will not be used for any other purpose than to complete the part of your order for which it is required.

Your responses to surveys, competitions and promotions

How do we use this information?

  • We periodically run surveys, competitions or promotions, which will require us to use your information in order to accept your entry and process the prize if you were to win. Run the survey, competition or promotion

You don’t need to share personal information with us, but unfortunately if you don’t you likely will not be able to purchase successfully from us and the website will likely not function for you.

SHARING YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell any of your personal data to any third party – including your name, address, email address or credit card information. We believe that the data you share with us is a sign of trust between yourself and Loom Weddings, and we have no intention of breaking that trust 

However, we do need to share your data with the following categories of companies as an essential part of being able to provide our services to you:

  • Companies that do things to get your purchases to you, such as payment service providers, delivery companies or order packers. (Royal Mail for example will need your address).
  • Online service providers, such as customer service software and website hosts who help us run our business.

MARKETING MESSAGES 

If you have given us your permission, we’ll send you marketing messages by email to keep you aware of discounts and promotions or maybe new products we feel you may be interested in.

To stop receiving these messages, you can, at any time, use the following options:

  • By clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any email
  • By contacting our customer service team at hello@normadorothy.com
