Any Terms not described in this Privacy Policy shall have the meanings in terms of use. Our Privacy Policy applies to all Site users, including Wedding Members and Vendor Members. “Personal Information” is information about you that is personally identifiable to you, like your name, address, email address, or phone number, as well as other non-public information associated with the preceding.

Users of the sites and applications that are part of the Site may be able to adjust the manner or amount of information publicly disclosed or shared with third parties by changing privacy settings (the “Privacy Settings”) within those sites or applications.

Update Of The Privacy Policy:

As our Site and Services change and expand, we may update our Privacy Policy. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we may email announcements, introduce pop-up notifications, or otherwise notify you through other means. Once we post our revised terms, they will take effect.
