Privacy notice

Your information deserves care.

This notice explains, in plain English, how information sent through enquiries and bookings is handled.

Last reviewed: 27 October 2026

Who is responsible

The Everyday McKenzie Friend is responsible for personal information collected through this website and direct enquiries. Privacy questions can be sent to everydaymckenziefriend@gmail.com.

What information may be collected

This static website does not use a contact form, advertising trackers or analytics. If you email or book a consultation, information may include your name, contact details, appointment information and the information you choose to share about your enquiry.

The booking service is provided by Google. Information entered there is handled under Google’s applicable privacy terms as well as being made available for managing the appointment.

Why information is used

Information is used to respond to enquiries, arrange consultations, assess whether requested support is within scope, provide agreed services, keep appropriate business records and meet legal obligations. Depending on the context, the lawful basis may be taking steps at your request before entering into an agreement, performing an agreement, legitimate interests in running and protecting the service, or legal obligations.

Sensitive information

Family proceedings can involve information about children, health, finances, allegations and court cases. Please do not send sensitive documents or detailed case information in an initial email. If support is agreed, only information reasonably necessary for that work should be shared, using an agreed method.

Sharing

Personal information is not sold. It may be processed by necessary service providers such as email, calendar or secure storage providers, or disclosed where required by law, safeguarding duties or a lawful court or regulatory requirement. Information will not be shared with the other party in your case merely because you make an enquiry.

Retention and security

Reasonable organisational and technical measures are used to protect information. Enquiries and working records are kept only for as long as reasonably needed for the stated purposes, legal obligations and the handling of any dispute, then securely deleted or anonymised. No internet or email system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights to ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or transfer of your personal information. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. Some rights are subject to legal exceptions.

External links

This site links to Google Calendar, GOV.UK and other external pages. Those services control their own privacy practices. Check their notices before providing information.

Changes

This notice may be updated when the service or legal requirements change. The review date above will be updated when that happens.

Important: This notice is a practical starting point for a small static website. Before trading, the business owner should confirm its actual data-handling practices, retention periods and registration obligations, and update this notice where necessary.
