Data Processing Summary Statement
(fair processing notice)
To enable me to create a funeral for your loved one (or other ceremony) and to communicate with you about the script I collect some of your personal details. Typically, this will be your:
Name and surname, Postal Address, Phone number(s), Email(s),
Relationship to the deceased
Why do I need this data?
The personal data I collect from you will be used for the following purposes:
-
To reply to enquiries about my services.
-
To visit you if you instruct me to come to your home address, or a mutually convenient place, in order to plan the funeral content.
-
To contact you by phone, email and paper communications to be able to make all the necessary arrangements, on your behalf, for the professional fulfilment of the funeral service, as instructed by you and the funeral director.
-
To request feedback on my services and performance.
-
To keep details of funerals on file, so I have a record for future reference; e.g. if you get in touch in the future and ask for a similar funeral.
Who might I share your information with?
I will not pass your personal data on to any third parties without first obtaining your written consent.
How long do I keep your information?
I will process personal data for up to six weeks after the funeral and will securely store the personal data on a password protected computer indefinitely so I have a record of the funeral for the purposes stated above.

At any point whilst I hold your data you have the following rights:
-
Right of access – you have the right to request a copy of the information I hold about you.
-
Right of correction – you have the right to correct data that I hold about you that is inaccurate or incomplete.
