Privacy & Cookie Policy

Last updated: 13 July 2026

1. Who we are

Yours Forever is a symbolic wedding ceremony celebrant service based in Porto, Portugal, operated by Sofia ("we", "us"). We are the data controller responsible for the personal data collected through this website.

This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how it is used and what rights you have under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Portuguese data protection law.

2. What data we collect

Contact form

When you use the contact form on this website, we ask for details such as your name, your partner's name, your wedding date, location and a message. This information is not stored on our servers — it is used to compose a message that opens in WhatsApp, and it reaches us only if you choose to send it.

Direct contact

If you contact us by email, WhatsApp or Instagram, we receive the information you choose to share, such as your name, contact details and anything you tell us about your wedding plans.

Technical data

Our hosting provider (dominios.pt — DMNS, S.A.) may process technical information such as your IP address in server logs for security and operational purposes. If you consent to analytics cookies, we may also collect anonymised usage data about how you browse the site.

3. Why we use your data

4. Legal basis

We rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR: your consent (analytics cookies, marketing communications), pre-contractual and contractual necessity (responding to enquiries, delivering our services) and legal obligation (accounting and tax records).

5. Who we share your data with

We never sell your personal data. It may be processed by the following third parties, strictly to operate this website and communicate with you:

Some of these providers may transfer data outside the European Economic Area. Where that happens, transfers are protected by safeguards such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses.

6. How long we keep your data

Enquiry messages are kept for as long as needed to handle your request and for up to two years afterwards, in case you come back to us. If you book our services, contractual and invoicing records are kept for the periods required by Portuguese law. Analytics data, where collected, is retained in anonymised or aggregated form.

7. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use them — together with similar technologies such as local storage — as follows:

Category Purpose Consent
Essential Required for the website to function — including remembering your cookie choice (stored in your browser's local storage as yf_cookie_consent). Not required — always active
Analytics Help us understand how visitors use the site (pages visited, time spent), e.g. Google Analytics. Data is aggregated and does not identify you directly. Only with your consent
Marketing Measure the effectiveness of our advertising, e.g. Meta Pixel. Only with your consent

Analytics and marketing cookies are only set if you allow them on the cookie banner — either by clicking "Accept all" or by enabling individual categories under "Manage preferences". If you decline, only essential functionality is used. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.

You can change your cookie choice whenever you like. Clicking the button below clears your saved preference and shows the cookie banner again.

8. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, email us at yoursforever.celebrante@gmail.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Portuguese supervisory authority, the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD).

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time — for example, when we add new tools to the website. The date at the top of this page always shows the latest version.
