Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Knot Your Average Wedding (“we,” “us”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit knotyouraverage.ca or contact us through it. We keep one privacy policy for everyone who uses this site, and we honour the rights the law gives you wherever you live.
Who Is Responsible for Your Information
Knot Your Average Wedding is responsible for personal information collected through this website. Knot Your Average is a wedding officiant service based in Ontario, Canada. For any privacy question or request, use the contact form on our home page, or use the request forms in our Privacy Center.
Information We Collect
Information you give us
When you use our contact form, we receive what you enter: your first and last name, email address, your event date, your planned venue, your message and your confirmation that you understand the marriage licence requirement. Please do not send sensitive personal information (such as government ID or financial account numbers) through the website.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting and service providers receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, the page that referred you and the approximate country of your connection. We use Google Analytics (Google tag) and Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how the site is used. See our Cookie Policy for details.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above to:
- answer your inquiry and plan your ceremony with you;
- arrange meetings, rehearsals, fees and deposits;
- keep the records an officiant must keep;
- protect this website and our form from spam and abuse; and
- understand how the site is used so we can improve it.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to make automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We disclose information only to trusted service providers who host, secure and support this website and our communications (such as Cloudflare (hosting, security and Turnstile), Google (analytics), our form-handling and email services, and UserWay (the accessibility tool on this site)), who may use it only to perform services for us; when required by law, subpoena, court order or a government request; and to protect our rights, property or safety, or those of others.
Cloudflare Turnstile (Spam and Bot Protection)
Forms on this website are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, a security service from Cloudflare, Inc. Turnstile may run in invisible mode: it checks in the background, with nothing shown on screen, that a form is being sent by a person and not by an automated program. To do this it processes limited technical information from your browser and device, such as your IP address and browser characteristics, and uses it only to protect this website from spam and abuse.
Cloudflare’s processing of this information is described in the Cloudflare Turnstile Privacy Addendum, which applies together with the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
Your Privacy Rights
Under PIPEDA and other applicable laws you have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to receive a copy of it, to have it corrected, and to withdraw your consent to its use (subject to legal or contractual limits). You may also ask us to delete it. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
To exercise any of these rights, use the request forms in our Privacy Center or use the contact form on our home page. We will verify your request, answer within the time the law requires, and will not charge you for a reasonable request. We will never treat you differently for exercising your rights.
How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected, to answer and document your requests, and to meet our legal, tax and record-keeping obligations. When it is no longer needed, we delete it or make it anonymous.
How We Protect Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the information collected through this site. No website or method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so please do not send confidential information through the site’s forms.
Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for adults planning a wedding, elopement, vow renewal or similar ceremony. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
International Visitors
This website is operated under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other applicable privacy laws. Our service providers may process information in other countries, including the United States. Where the law requires, we take steps so that your information is protected to the standard described in this policy.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date above, and material changes will be reflected here.
