4. Vendor Account Data

When you create a vendor account, we store your registration information securely. Your email address is verified through a confirmation email. Account credentials are encrypted and never stored in plain text. You may request deletion of your vendor account by contacting us through the Contact Page.

4a. Wedding Website Builder (Couples)

When you build a wedding website at kosherwedding.com/build-wedding-website, we collect and store the information you submit to power your site, including: chassan and kallah names, your chosen URL slug, Hebrew and Gregorian wedding date, venue and ceremony details, love story and other narrative content, engagement and event photos, Shabbos hospitality information, registry links, and RSVP responses from your guests (name, meal choice, dietary needs, plus-ones, and Shabbos hosting needs).

We also store your couple-account email and authentication credentials. Passwords are encrypted and never stored in plain text. AI builder usage (prompts and credit consumption) is logged to enforce free-tier limits and improve the product; we do not sell prompts or generated content to third parties.

Your published wedding website is public by default at the URL you chose, so it can be shared with guests. The builder editor (/build-wedding-website/editor) and your couple dashboard are private to your account and are excluded from search-engine indexing. You may add an optional guest password to gate your published site. You may request deletion of your wedding website and couple account at any time through the Contact Page.

5. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We may share personal information with the vendor you choose to contact, service providers, advertising partners, and Google. We do not sell personal information. Vendor business listing information (business name, category, location, contact details) is publicly displayed on the Website as part of the directory.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy. Vendor account data is retained for the duration of the account and for a reasonable period after account deletion for legal and operational purposes.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information. Vendor account holders may update their information through the vendor dashboard or by contacting us via the Contact Page.

8. AI-Generated Content Disclosure

Some content on this Website may be generated or assisted by artificial intelligence, including draft copy created inside the wedding website builder. Such content is for general informational purposes only and should not be relied upon for professional or halachic advice. You are responsible for reviewing and approving any AI-generated content before publishing it on your wedding website.
