TheWeddingInvitations.com ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. We operate from the United States and serve couples worldwide. This Privacy Policy applies to our website at theweddinginvitations.com and all associated services.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, submit a review, contact us, or use our planning tools. This may include:
• Name and email address — when you register or sign up for newsletters.
• Location data — if you grant us browser geolocation permission, to show you local vendors and venues. You may deny this at any time.
• Device and browser data — IP address, browser type, operating system, and pages visited, collected automatically via cookies and analytics tools.
• User-generated content — vendor reviews, ratings, and comments you submit.
• Communication data — messages you send through our Contact & Support form.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
• Personalise your wedding planning experience (show local vendors, relevant invitations, bridal styles).
• Process and display your vendor reviews.
• Send transactional emails such as review confirmation messages.
• Improve our website, services, and content based on usage patterns.
• Respond to your support requests.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
4. Location Data
Location data is collected only if you explicitly grant browser geolocation permission. We use your location to:
• Display wedding vendors, venues, and photographers nearest to you.
• Personalise city-specific content and recommendations.
Your exact GPS coordinates are used only to identify your city and country via the OpenStreetMap Nominatim API. We store only your city name and country code — not your precise coordinates — in your browser's local storage. This data is never transmitted to our servers or shared with third parties.
You may revoke location access at any time in your browser settings.
5. Data Sharing & Third Parties
We may share your information with trusted third-party services strictly necessary for operating our platform:
• Google Analytics — for anonymous website traffic analysis.
• Google AdSense / Display Network — for serving ads.
• OpenStreetMap Nominatim — for reverse-geocoding location data.
• Email service providers — to send transactional emails (e.g., review confirmations).
All third-party providers are bound by their own privacy policies and applicable data protection laws. We do not share your personal data for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Specifically:
• Account data — retained while your account is active and for 90 days after deletion.
• Review data — retained indefinitely as part of our public vendor database unless you request removal.
• Analytics data — anonymised and retained for up to 26 months.
• Support communications — retained for 12 months after resolution.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification — request correction of inaccurate data.
• Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten") — request deletion of your data.
• Restriction — request we limit processing of your data.
• Portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format.
• Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@theweddinginvitations.com. We will respond within 30 days.
8. Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will delete it promptly.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We will notify users of significant changes by posting a prominent notice on our website or, where appropriate, by email. Your continued use of our services after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
