Booking and Contact Form Information

Booking inquiries may be processed through our WordPress website and Forminator form system. Submissions may be stored in the website’s administrative system and delivered to authorized representatives by email.

Access to submitted information is limited to people and service providers who need it to respond to the inquiry, operate the website or provide the requested services.

We retain inquiry information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, administer a potential or completed engagement, maintain business records, resolve disputes and satisfy legal, accounting or security obligations. Information that is no longer reasonably needed will be deleted or anonymized when practicable.

  • Session management

  • Website performance

  • Basic traffic measurement

  • Embedded third-party content

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. Other cookies or third-party technologies may collect information about how visitors use the website.

You may be able to limit or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect how some parts of the website function.

Where required by applicable law, we will request consent before activating nonessential cookies or tracking technologies.

Social-sharing services

The website may offer buttons or links for services such as Facebook, LinkedIn, X or Threads. If you select one of these buttons, you will interact with the selected third-party service. That service’s privacy policy governs the information it receives.

External Links and Embedded Content

The website may contain links to, or content provided by, other websites. Third-party websites operate independently from Before Love Hurts and have their own privacy practices.

We are not responsible for the content, security or privacy practices of third-party websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

How We Protect Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

However, no website, email system or method of electronic transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through the website.

  • Confirm whether we hold personal information about you

  • Provide access to certain personal information

  • Correct inaccurate information
