Everlasting Vows ("we", "us", or "our") is a wedding planning platform that helps couples organise their special day. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our app at everlastingvows.uk.

Information We Collect

Account details: name, email address, and password (securely hashed) when you register.
Wedding details: information you add such as your wedding date, venue, guest list, budget, seating plan, and music preferences.
Photos & media: images and videos you or your guests upload to your gallery or guestbook.
Payments: billing information is processed securely via Stripe and PayPal; we do not store your full card details.
Usage data: anonymous analytics to help us improve the app.

How We Use Your Information

To provide and manage your wedding planning tools and dashboard.
To send you messages related to your account, reminders, and wedding-day notifications.
To process subscription payments and unlock premium features.
To allow your invited partners and guests to view the information you choose to share with them.
To improve, secure, and troubleshoot the platform.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your data. We only share information as necessary to operate the service — for example with our payment processors (Stripe, PayPal), email delivery providers, and cloud hosting partners, each of whom process data under their own privacy and security standards. You may choose to share parts of your wedding hub with your invited partners, bridal party, or guests; only they will have access to what you share.

Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. Subscription periods determine access to premium features; your core data remains available during your plan. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact our team and we will respond within one month.

Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections, secure password hashing, and row-level access controls so that each couple only sees their own information. No method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, but we work hard to safeguard your data.

For Weddings Businesses (Partners)

If you list your business as a Partner, we collect your business and contact details to display your listing and handle your subscription. Your information is visible to couples searching the directory according to the details you choose to publish.

Cookies

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and the app functioning. We do not use cookies for cross-site advertising tracking.

Children's Privacy

Everlasting Vows is intended for couples planning their wedding and their guests. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will reflect the "last updated" date at the top of this page when we do.
