Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we are required to have a lawful basis for processing your personal data. We rely on the following legal grounds:

- Consent – where you have given us clear, specific consent to process your data for a particular purpose (e.g., receiving marketing communications). You may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us.
05
Data Sharing
We respect your privacy and do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

- Wedding planners and photographers – only where you have explicitly requested coordination with your other wedding vendors, and only the information necessary for scheduling and logistics
- Payment processors – payment transactions are processed by secure third-party providers (such as bank transfer or PayPal). We do not store your full card or payment details
- IT and communication services – we use industry-standard tools including WhatsApp (Meta), email (inbox.lv), and Instagram (Meta) for communication. These platforms have their own privacy policies
