1. Introduction
Christina McMillan Events ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of visitors to our website, christinamcmillanevents.com (the "Site"), and our clients and prospective clients. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
By using our Site or submitting information to us (for example, through our contact/inquiry form), you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
a. Information You Provide Directly
When you submit our contact/inquiry form, we may collect:
First and last name

Your service preference (Event Planning, Wedding Coordination, or Wedding Officiant)
Venue name, city, and state
Budget range and guest count
Any other information you choose to share about your event in the contact form

Device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the Site, collected automatically through Squarespace's built-in cookies
Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see our separate Cookie Policy for details)
c. Information From Third Parties
We use Aisle Planner, a client management and event-planning software platform, to help organize and manage client and event information after you inquire with us. We may also receive information about you from vendors and venues involved in planning your event.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
Respond to inquiries and provide requested information about our services
Plan, coordinate, and communicate about your event
Send updates, proposals, contracts, invoices, and event-related communications
Improve our Site, services, and client experience

We do not currently send marketing emails or newsletters. If this changes in the future, we will only do so with your consent and will provide an easy way to opt out.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information as follows:
With vendors, venues, and other event professionals, but only with your written permission — except that once a vendor has been booked as your event coordinator, that vendor will be kept informed of relevant event details as necessary to coordinate your event
With Aisle Planner, our client management and event-planning software provider, to help us manage your event details and communications
With service providers who support our business operations, such as our website host (Squarespace)
With legal or regulatory authorities, where required by law
We do not currently use email marketing platforms, website analytics tools (such as Google Analytics), or advertising/retargeting pixels (such as the Meta/Facebook Pixel). If we begin using such tools in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.
Payments: We do not process payments directly through the Site. Invoices and payments for our services are currently handled directly with clients (for example, via Zelle) outside of the Site.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our Site is built on Squarespace, which automatically places certain cookies to operate and support the Site. We do not currently use additional analytics or advertising cookies, but may add them in the future. For more detail, please see our Cookie Policy.
