Privacy policy

Mikey Montage is a wedding videography business run by Michael Johnson, based in North Wales. In this policy, "we" and "us" mean Mikey Montage. We are responsible for the personal information described here (the "data controller").

You can contact us about anything in this policy at enquiries@mikeymontage.com.

Where it comes from	What we collect
Check your date form	Your wedding date, venue, names, email address, phone number (optional) and anything else you tell us
Booking	Your names, contact details, wedding date and venue, and a record of payments made (we don't store card details)
Wedding details form	Places and times for the day, and the names and phone numbers of people you list, such as your main contact, photographer and venue coordinator
Client area	Your email address, to send you sign-in links, and a record of when you sign in and watch or download your films
Filming your wedding	Video and audio of you, your guests and anyone else at the parts of the day we film
Reviews	What you write, your first names, venue area and wedding month, and your choices about publishing
Using the website	Basic technical information our hosting provider records to keep the site secure, such as your IP address and browser type

If you give us details about other people, such as guests or suppliers in the wedding details form, please let them know you've shared them with us.

UK data protection law says we need a lawful basis for each use of your information. These are ours:

What we use it for	Lawful basis
Replying to your enquiry and checking whether your date is free	Taking steps at your request before a booking (contract)
Booking, taking payments, planning the day, filming and delivering your films	Carrying out our agreement with you (contract)
Sending sign-in links, delivery emails and reminders about your booking	Carrying out our agreement with you (contract)
Using the details you give about other people on the day, so Mikey can find them	Our legitimate interest in filming your wedding properly
Asking for a review after your film is delivered	Our legitimate interest in hearing from couples; you can ignore or opt out of these emails
Publishing your review, and your names with it	Your consent, given on the review form; you can withdraw it at any time
Showing your montage, with your first names, on our website	Your consent, given on the wedding details form or to Mikey directly; you can withdraw it at any time
Keeping business and tax records	Legal obligation
Keeping the website secure	Our legitimate interest in running a safe website

We don't sell your information, and we don't use it for advertising.

Your films belong to your wedding, and we treat them that way.

• Private by default. Your films are only available through your client area and any share link you choose to create. Share links can be switched off at any time.
• On our website and social media only with your agreement. We only show a film, a still or your names publicly if you've agreed to it. You can change your mind; we'll take it down from our website and our social media accounts, though we can't recall copies other people have already shared.
• Your guests. Guests and children appear in wedding footage. Before anything is used publicly, we check with you, and we'll remove or blur someone on request where we can.
• Raw footage. We keep unedited footage only as long as we need it to make and deliver your films (see "How long we keep it").

We only share your information with the companies that help us run the business, and only what they need to do their job:

Provider	What they do for us
Cloudflare	Hosts the website, client area and database, and stores your films
Resend	Sends sign-in links, delivery emails and reminders
PayPal	Processes deposit and balance payments

Some of these providers may store or handle information outside the UK, including in the United States. Where they do, they protect it with safeguards recognised under UK law, such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or the UK–US data bridge.

We'll share information with the police or other authorities only if the law requires it.

Information	How long
Enquiries that don't become bookings	12 months after your last message
Wedding details form, including other people's names and numbers	3 months after your films are delivered
Your films in the client area	12 months after delivery; we'll email you 30 days before they're removed
Raw footage	3 months after your films are delivered
Booking and payment records	6 years after the end of the tax year, as HMRC requires
Reviews	Until you ask us to remove them
Films or stills you've agreed we can show publicly	Until you withdraw your agreement

We only use cookies the site needs to work:

• A sign-in cookie that keeps you signed in to the client area.
• Security cookies our hosting provider uses to block spam and attacks, including on the forms.

Because these are strictly necessary, we don't ask for consent. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.

You have the right to:

• ask for a copy of the information we hold about you
• ask us to correct it if it's wrong
• ask us to delete it
• ask us to limit how we use it, or object to how we use it
• withdraw consent you've given, such as for publishing a review or showing your film
• ask for your information in a format you can take elsewhere

To use any of these, email enquiries@mikeymontage.com. We'll reply within one month. Some rights have limits; for example, we have to keep payment records for tax.

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

If we change how we use your information, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects a booking you've already made, we'll email you about it.
