Data privacy and security
Security measures to protect your wedding data, guest information, and personal details with SSL encryption and industry standards.
WedSites takes your wedding data seriously, implementing security measures to protect guest information and your personal details.
What data WedSites collects
When you use WedSites, the platform collects:
- Account information: Your name, email, wedding date, payment details
- Guest data: Names, emails, addresses, RSVP responses you add to your guest list
- Website content: Text, photos, and information you add to your wedding website
- Usage data: How you use the platform (for improving features and troubleshooting)
This data is necessary to provide the wedding website and planning services.
SSL encryption
All WedSites websites use SSL/HTTPS encryption. This means:
- Data transmitted between guests and your website is encrypted
- Login credentials are protected
- Payment information is secured
- RSVP submissions are private
The padlock icon in browser address bars shows SSL is active and your connection is secure.
Data storage and security
WedSites stores your data on secure servers with:
- Regular security updates
- Firewall protection
- Access controls limiting who can view data
- Backup systems preventing data loss
While no system is 100% impenetrable, WedSites follows industry-standard security practices.
Payment security
Payment processing uses trusted third-party processors (likely Stripe) that are PCI DSS compliant, the security standard for payment handling.
WedSites doesn't store complete credit card numbers. Payment processors handle that separately, reducing security risk.
Who can access your data
You and users you authorize: Anyone you give access to your wedding account can see your wedding data.
WedSites staff: Support staff might access your account when helping resolve issues, but only when necessary for support purposes.
Third parties: WedSites doesn't sell your data to third parties. Any third-party services (like email delivery or payment processing) are carefully selected and contractually bound to protect your data.
Guest data privacy
Guest information you collect (emails, addresses, RSVP responses) is private to your wedding. Other couples using WedSites can't see your guest lists.
You're responsible for how you use guest data. WedSites provides the tools, and you're expected to use guest information responsibly and ethically.
Cookies and tracking
WedSites uses cookies for:
- Keeping you logged in
- Remembering preferences
- Understanding how people use the platform
- Improving features and user experience
You can learn more about specific cookie usage in the privacy policy.
Analytics and tracking
The platform likely uses analytics services to understand aggregate usage patterns:
- Which features are used most
- Where users encounter difficulties
- Overall system performance
- Wedding website visitor patterns
This aggregate data helps improve WedSites for everyone.
Your data rights
You typically have rights to:
- Access your data
- Export your data
- Delete your data (with some limitations)
- Correct inaccurate information
- Control certain privacy settings
Specific rights depend on your location and applicable privacy laws.
Data export
You can export guest lists, RSVP responses, and other data anytime. Your information isn't locked in, and you have access to download and backup your data.
Data deletion
If you delete your account, WedSites will typically remove your data according to their retention policies. Some data might be retained for legal or operational reasons (like billing records), but your wedding website and guest information would be deleted.
Check the full privacy policy for complete deletion information.
International data transfers
WedSites serves couples worldwide. Data might be stored on servers in different countries. The platform complies with international data protection regulations where applicable.
GDPR and privacy regulations
WedSites likely complies with relevant privacy regulations including GDPR (for European users) and other regional privacy laws.
Compliance means you have rights regarding your data and WedSites has responsibilities for protecting it.
Password security
Protect your WedSites account:
- Use a strong, unique password
- Don't share your login with untrusted people
- Log out on shared computers
- Enable any available security features
Your account security is partly your responsibility.
Shared access security
When you give others access to your wedding account (partner, planner, wedding party), understand they'll see the same data you see. Only share access with trusted people.
Email security
Invitation emails sent through WedSites are as secure as email generally is, which isn't perfectly secure. Don't put extremely sensitive information in email communications.
Guest-facing security
Guests visiting your website don't need accounts. They don't create passwords or store personal data with WedSites. They submit RSVP information which you see in your dashboard.
If you enable password protection on your website, choose a password you can safely share with guests (don't use your account password).
Third-party integrations
If you integrate third-party services (streaming platforms, Spotify, etc.), understand those services have their own privacy policies. WedSites doesn't control third-party data practices.
Security incidents
In the unlikely event of a security breach affecting your data, WedSites should notify affected users according to legal requirements and company policies.

Security and privacy are legitimate concerns when storing personal information online. WedSites implements reasonable protections, but understand no system is perfectly secure.
