Bonjour! At Kiss Me in Paris, your privacy is paramount. We only collect the information truly needed to craft your unforgettable Parisian experience and make our services shine. Here’s the scoop:

💡 What Personal Data We Collect

To help us plan your dream event or photoshoot, respond to your requests, and run our website smoothly, we may collect:

  • Contact Details: Your name, email address, and phone number.
  • Event Details: Information about your desired event (type, date, guest count), preferences, and any specific needs you share with us during planning (like dietary needs for catering coordination).
  • Booking & Payment Info: Billing address and payment details (processed securely via our payment partners).
  • Communications: Records of our emails and potentially notes from calls related to your event.
  • Technical Info (with your consent): IP address, general location data, browser/device type via cookies for analytics and website functionality (see our Cookie Policy!).
  • Photos & Videos: The beautiful images and videos captured during your event or photoshoot (usage detailed in our contract & requires your consent for marketing).

We collect this info directly from you via our website forms, emails, calls, and planning questionnaires.

🔧 How & Why We Use Your Info (Our Legal Basis)

We use your data based on specific legal grounds under GDPR:

  • To Fulfill Our Contract with You: Planning and executing your proposal, wedding, elopement, or photoshoot; communicating with you and vendors; processing payments. (Legal Basis: Contract Performance)
  • With Your Explicit Consent: Sending marketing communications (if you opt-in – we currently don’t!), placing analytics and marketing cookies on your device (see Cookie Policy). You can withdraw consent anytime. (Legal Basis: Consent)
  • For Our Legitimate Business Interests: Responding to your inquiries before a contract is formed; improving our website and services; internal record keeping; and preventing fraud. We always balance our interests with your rights. (Legal Basis: Legitimate Interests)
  • To Comply with Legal Obligations: Maintaining records required by French tax and accounting law. (Legal Basis: Legal Obligation)

We promise no spammy newsletters unless you specifically ask for them!

🤝 Who We Share Your Data With

To make your event happen, we sometimes need to share necessary details with trusted partners, always with care:

  • Event Vendors: Photographers, videographers, venues, caterers, florists, stylists, musicians, etc., but only the info they need to perform their service for your event.
  • Payment Processors: To securely handle payments (e.g., Stripe, PayPal).
  • Technology Providers: Website hosting, cloud storage (like Google Drive), email providers, analytics tools (Google Analytics), marketing platforms (Meta/Facebook, LinkedIn), optimization tools (VWO) – subject to your cookie consent where applicable.
  • Legal/Professional Advisors: If legally required or necessary.

🌍 International Data Transfers

Some of our technology providers (like Google, Meta/Facebook, VWO, and potentially cloud storage) are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA), primarily in the US. When data is transferred, we rely on approved mechanisms like the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses, along with supplementary measures, to ensure your data receives adequate protection.

⏳ How Long Do We Keep Your Info

We keep your personal data only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, to provide our services, and to comply with legal requirements (like French accounting rules, which may require holding transaction data for several years). After that, it’s securely deleted.

🔒 Keeping Your Data Safe

We take your data’s security seriously and use reasonable technical and organizational measures (like secure servers, access controls, encryption where appropriate) to protect it against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

✨ Your Privacy Rights (You’re in Control!)

Under GDPR, you have rights regarding your data:

  • Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Rectification: Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Erasure (‘Right to be Forgotten’): Request deletion of your data, under certain conditions.
  • Restriction: Ask us to limit how we use your data, under certain conditions.
  • Portability: Request your data be transferred to you or another service in a usable format, under certain conditions.
  • Object: Object to our processing of your data based on legitimate interests.
  • Withdraw Consent: Withdraw your consent at any time for processing based on consent (like marketing cookies or portfolio image use).
