Sue Olver
Intimate Communities Wedding Officiant
A wedding can be cancelled at anytime. In the case of a cancellation we will need, in writing, from the bride and or groom that the wedding is actually cancelled. We cannot accept the word of any other family member or friend.
It is our policy that the officiant you meet and book with is the officiant who will perform your ceremony. However, there are times when they may not be able to make the ceremony. Reasons may include, but are not limited to: traffic, sickness, a death in the family, or the officiant leaves our team. In the case where the officiant you booked is not available, another member of our team will perform the ceremony. A new officiant will be assigned based on who is available and arrangements will be made to connect the new officiant with the couple if time allows.

Our Code is a formal statement of the principles and guidelines concerning the requirements for the protection of personal information provided to us by its customers and employees. We strivee to provide our customers with the best service possible. This means handling your personal information fairly and honestly.
The purpose of this code is to provide transparent practices in our management of personal information in keeping with applicable Canadian legislation. It tells you how we protect your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information.
What is Personal Information?
Personal Information is any piece of information, either factual or subjective, about an identifiable individual. Personal Information does not include the name, title, business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization.
The Nine Principles of Privacy
The following principles, developed by the Canadian Standards Association, form the basis of our fair information practices and outline our commitment to protecting your privacy.
1. Accountability
Every associate is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all information to which they have access. Our associates are informed about the importance of privacy and receive ongoing updates on privacy related policies.
In addition to establishing the Privacy Code, we have appointed a Chief Privacy Officer who is responsible for overseeing the personal information handling our practices and ensuring we are in compliance with our Privacy Code and related policies.
2. Identifying Purposes: Why we collect information
When we need to collect personal information from you, we will identify the purpose for the collection at or before the time we collect it. We will only collect the information needed to fulfill the service we have identified and for no other purpose. If we wish to use your information for any other purpose we will obtain your consent.
We ask for your personal information in order to meet your service and product needs, as well as to establish a lasting relationship with you.
The information we ask for depends on which services you require from us. For example, we may request your personal information to:
provide you with a specified service
better understand your needs
provide you with information and offers on our products and services
comply with law
3. Consent
We seek your consent to collect, use or disclose your personal information at the time of collection or in advance. We have taken steps to ensure that our language is clear and understandable so that you know why we are collecting your information and how we will use it.
Consent may be expressed in writing or it may be implied in the circumstances. In addition to writing, your consent may also be expressed verbally or electronically.
In general, you can choose not to provide us with some or all of your personal information at any time. However, should you make this choice we may not be able to provide you with the product, service or information that you requested or that could be offered to you. Upon request we will explain your options of refusing or withdrawing consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information.
4. Limiting Collection
We do not collect personal information indiscriminately. Rather, we limit our collection of personal information to only what is necessary for the purpose we have identified. We employ fair and lawful means in the collection of personal information.
5. Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention
We will use or disclose your personal information for the purpose for which it was collected, except with the consent of the individual or as required by law.
We will retain personal information only for as long as required to fulfill the identified purpose. Once your personal information is no longer required, it will be destroyed or made anonymous.
6. Accuracy
We endeavor to keep your personal information complete, up-to-date and accurate. While we do our best to ensure our information is accurate, we do rely on individuals to inform us of any relevant changes in their personal information.
Should you discover, upon review of your personal information, that amendments are required, please advise us. If the requested change is accepted, the personal information will be modified in accordance with your request as soon as possible and you will receive a copy of the amended portion of the record.
When a correction or amendment has been made to a personal record, we will, where appropriate, send a copy of the correction to any persons or organizations that have access to the information in question.
7. Safeguards: Protecting your information
We employ appropriate safeguards to make certain that your personal information is protected from loss or theft as well as from unauthorized access or disclosure.
The information we collect is retained on our premises, other than where you have consented to its release or such release is required by law.
8. Openness: Keeping you informed
We have prepared this Privacy Code to keep you informed of our commitment to protecting your personal information.
If you have any privacy related questions or concerns not addressed in the Privacy Code, please contact our Chief Privacy Officer by mail at support@celebratinglife.ca . We will respond to all inquiries to the best of our ability.
9. Providing Access
We will provide you with access to the information it retains about you upon receipt of a written request and satisfactory identification.
Upon written request and satisfactory identification, we will also correct or amend any personal information if its accuracy and completeness is found to be deficient.
There are some instances where we will not be able to provide an individual with the requested information. Some of these instances include where the information:
consists of references to other persons that cannot be otherwise severed
is subject to solicitor–client privilege
contains confidential proprietary information
has already been destroyed due to legal requirements or because it was no longer needed for the identified purpose
If we are unable to provide you with the information you have requested, the reason for the refusal will be explained in writing.
