Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 2026
Welcome to Wedding Page ("we," "our," or "us"). We operate the website weddingpage.co.za, an online platform that allows couples to create digital wedding invitation pages, share them with guests, and collect RSVP responses. We respect the privacy of both our registered customers and their invited guests, and we are committed to protecting all personal information shared on our platform in accordance with South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
1. Information We Collect
We collect information from two types of users:
A. Registered Customers (The Couple)
When you create an account and build a wedding page, we collect:
- Account & Contact Details: Your names, email address, and login credentials.
- Event Content: Wedding date, venue details, map links, dress code, photos, personal stories, and any optional page passcode you set.
- Payment Details: Information required to process your once-off R299 fee (handled securely through our third-party payment processor; we do not store your full card details on our servers).
B. Wedding Guests (Invitees)
When a guest opens a wedding link and submits an RSVP, we collect:
- RSVP & Contact Details: Full name, phone number or email address, and attendance status.
- Event Preferences: Number of guests in their party, meal choices, and dietary requirements.
C. Automatically Collected Information
When anyone visits weddingpage.co.za, we may automatically collect basic technical data such as IP addresses, browser types, device information, and essential cookies required to keep the website functioning smoothly on mobile and desktop devices.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information collected strictly to provide our service and help couples plan their weddings:
- For Customers: To create, host, and manage your custom wedding page (e.g., weddingpage.co.za/yourname), provide customer support, and generate your downloadable guest list spreadsheet.
- For Guests: To capture RSVP responses and display them exclusively to the wedding couple so they can plan catering, seating, and guest numbers.
- Platform Security: To maintain site performance, enforce optional page passcodes, prevent spam, and troubleshoot technical issues.
We never sell, rent, or use guest RSVP lists or customer details for third-party marketing.
3. Sharing of Information
- With the Wedding Couple: All RSVP details submitted by a guest are shared directly with the couple who created that specific wedding page. Couples can view these replies on their dashboard and download them as a spreadsheet for wedding planning.
- Third-Party Sharing (WhatsApp & Links): Customers share their invitation links directly with guests (such as via WhatsApp). While an optional passcode feature is available to keep pages private, anyone with access to an unprotected link can view the event details displayed on that page.
- Trusted Service Providers: We use secure third-party providers for website hosting, email delivery, and payment processing. These providers only access data needed to perform their services and are bound by strict confidentiality obligations.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by South African law or valid legal processes.
4. Data Retention and Automatic Deletion
We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for wedding planning:
- 3-Month Post-Wedding Limit: All wedding pages remain active for 3 months after the registered wedding date.
- Deactivation & Deletion: Once that period ends, the specific wedding page is automatically disabled, and all associated guest RSVP data (names, contact numbers, meal choices, and dietary notes) is permanently deleted from our active databases.
- Early Deletion: Registered customers may request to disable their page and delete their data earlier at any time by contacting us.
5. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures, including HTTPS encryption, secure database access controls, and optional page passcodes, to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
6. Your Rights Under POPIA
Under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), both registered customers and wedding guests have the right to:
- Request confirmation of whether we hold personal information about you and request access to it.
- Request the correction or updating of inaccurate personal information.
- Request the deletion of your personal information prior to our automatic deletion window.
- Lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa if you believe your personal data has been mishandled.
Note for Wedding Guests: If you need to change or remove your RSVP details before the wedding, you can reach out directly to the wedding couple or email us using the details below.
7. Children's Privacy
Our platform is intended for adults organizing events. While couples or parents may record meal or attendance details for children attending a wedding, we do not knowingly allow anyone under the age of 18 to register an account on weddingpage.co.za.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect updates to our website or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
