To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, and the applicable legal requirements.

6. Cookies and PECR Compliance
In accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we use cookies to improve your experience on Household Thread. Cookies are small files saved on your device that track, save and store information about your interactions and usage of the website.
You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.
7. International Data Transfers
As our services involve planning for Canadian weddings, some of your data may be processed by partners located outside the UK (e.g., in Canada). Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- Transferring data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the UK Government.
- Using specific contracts approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.
8. Complaints
You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.
