Privacy Policy

Who we are

South Coast Ceremonies is a local organisation that plans secular ceremonies and couple celebrations along the south coast. We coordinate vow renewals, symbolic unions, and personal reaffirmation rituals for anniversaries or meaningful moments. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit our site or contact us, and how we handle it.

Our registered address is 110 van Tonder Harbors, dumisaniton, NW 4233. For any privacy-related request, you can reach us at info@southcoastceremonies.com or call +27456049505.

Information we collect

We keep data collection to the minimum needed to respond to enquiries and arrange ceremonies. Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• Details you submit through our contact form: your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message.
• Information you share during consultations, such as your preferred date, location ideas, guest count, and any notes about your ceremony style or cultural context.
• Technical data from your browser or device when you visit the site, including IP address, browser type, and pages viewed. This helps us understand how the site is used and keep it working properly.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect for clear, limited purposes:

• To respond to your enquiries and answer questions about our services.
• To prepare and coordinate your ceremony, including drafting personalised texts and liaising with officiants and venues.
• To send practical updates about your booking or event details.
• To improve our website and understand general visitor behaviour through analytics.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising or marketing without your explicit consent.

Cookies and analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember basic preferences and to collect anonymised analytics about site traffic. These tools help us see which pages are most useful and whether visitors can find what they need.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Doing so will not stop the site from working, though some non-essential features may behave differently.

Data sharing and third parties

We do not rent or sell your data. In limited cases, we share information with service providers who help us run the business, such as:

• Website hosting providers who store site data securely.
• Email and form services that deliver messages you send us.
• Analytics tools that process anonymised usage data.

These providers are bound by confidentiality and may only process your data to perform their specific role. We do not authorise them to use your information for their own purposes.

How long we keep your data

Enquiry messages and consultation notes are kept only as long as needed to respond to you and, if you proceed, to prepare and deliver your ceremony. After that, we delete or anonymise the information unless we are legally required to retain it. If you would like us to remove your details sooner, just ask.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Ask us to delete your data where there is no legitimate reason to keep it.
• Object to or restrict certain processing activities.
• Receive a copy of your data in a portable format.
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@southcoastceremonies.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and may ask you to verify your identity first.

Our commitment to honesty

We are committed to being transparent in everything we publish and promise. We do not make misleading claims about our services, invent fake endorsements, or create false urgency. Any testimonials or examples we share reflect real experiences, and we do not guarantee specific outcomes without clear context.

If you believe something on our site is inaccurate or unclear, please tell us so we can correct it.
