Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 27, 2026
1. What we collect
- Anonymous reports: gift amounts, venue costs and couple reports you choose to submit. These are not tied to your name, email or account.
- Purchase info: if you buy the H.M.Y.G Pass, we store your email and a payment confirmation so you can restore it on other devices. Card details are handled by Stripe or Apple β we never see or store them.
- Invites & polls: names, phone numbers or emails you enter for guests, RSVP answers, and anonymous poll votes.
- Device storage: saved weddings, your Payback Ledger, pass status and invite host keys are kept in your browser's local storage on your device.
- Basic technical data: like browser type and pages visited, used to keep the site working and secure.
2. How we use it
- To calculate gift suggestions and show community benchmarks. Benchmarks only appear once at least 3 anonymous reports exist, so no single report can be identified.
- To unlock and restore your pass, send sign-in links you request, and deliver invites and RSVPs.
- We do not sell your personal information, and we don't use it for third-party advertising.
3. Who we share it with
- Service providers that help run the app: hosting and database, Stripe (web payments), Apple and RevenueCat (in-app purchases), and our AI provider for venue matching (which only receives the venue text you type).
- Authorities, if required by law.
4. Your choices
- Clear your browser storage to delete on-device data like your ledger and saved weddings.
- Hosts can remove guests from an invite at any time.
- Email us to access or delete your purchase record or any data linked to your email.
5. Kids
- The app isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their personal information.
6. Changes
- If we update this policy, we'll change the date below. Continuing to use the app means you accept the update.
7. Contact
