Privacy notice
Last updated: May 2026
This is the short version, in plain English. It tells you what we do with the information you give us when you buy a wedding speech.
What we collect
- Your email address (to send you the drafts)
- Your name, the couple’s names, the wedding date
- The stories and notes you write into the questionnaire
- Anything you tell us to avoid
- Standard server-side request logs (IP, request time, route, status) for security and debugging
What we don’t collect
- Card details. These go directly to Stripe and never touch our servers.
- Anything you don’t choose to give us. Analytics is opt-in and off until you say yes.
- Anything you don’t put in the form
How we count visitors
We use Google Analytics to see how many people visit and which pages are useful. It stores a cookie on your device, so we ask before it loads.Nothing runs until you press Allow. If you decline, or ignore the banner, no analytics script is loaded and nothing is sent to Google at all.
On the order form we also record which question somebody stopped at, if they leave without finishing. That tells us which questions are too hard or too long. It records the name of the field only, never anything you typed into it, and like everything else it only happens if you allowed analytics.
How long we keep it
- Your questionnaire and the generated drafts: 90 days, then deleted automatically
- Order metadata (order ID, tier, payment status, your email): kept for accounting and refund-window purposes
- Server access logs: 1 month for the API, 90 days for the website
Where it lives
Everything runs on Amazon Web Services in the London region (eu-west-1). Data at rest is encrypted with AWS-managed keys; data in transit is TLS 1.2+ end-to-end. Payments are processed by Stripe (UK).
Who else sees it
We never sell your data, and we never share what you write. The only third parties involved are these, each doing one specific job:
- Stripe: handles your payment.
- AWS Bedrock (Anthropic Claude): generates the drafts from your input. Anthropic does not retain prompts sent via Bedrock for training.
- AWS SES: delivers the email with your drafts.
- Google Analytics: counts page visits, only if you allow it. It never receives your questionnaire, your email address, or anything else you type into the site.
Refunds delete your drafts
When we issue a refund, the generated draft files in our S3 bucket are deleted as part of the refund flow. Existing presigned download links stop working at that point.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You can ask us to:
- Show you what we hold about you (subject access)
- Correct anything wrong
- Delete everything we hold about you (right to erasure)
- Hand over your data in a portable format
Email hello@raiseaspeech.com with the order ID or email you used. We’ll act within 30 days, usually within a few working days.
If you’re not happy with how we’ve handled your data, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
