We do not collect sensitive personal data (e.g., financial details beyond payments, health information) unless necessary and with your explicit consent.

We use collected information for the following purposes:

• 2.5 To communicate with you, including sending updates, notifications, promotional materials (with your consent), and responding to inquiries.
• 2.6 For security and fraud prevention, including monitoring for unauthorized access.
• 2.7 To comply with legal obligations, such as under the DPDP Act or other applicable laws in India.

We process data based on lawful grounds, including your consent, contractual necessity, legitimate interests (e.g., improving the Service), and legal requirements.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data in these limited ways:

• 3.1 With Service Providers: Third parties like payment processors, cloud storage providers, analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics), and IT infrastructure services that help operate the Service. These providers are bound by confidentiality and data protection agreements.
• 3.2 For Vendor Features: If you are an invitee, your contact details may be shared with Vendors for direct communication, as facilitated by the invite.
• 3.3 Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the new entity, with notice provided where required.
• 3.4 Legal Compliance: To comply with laws, respond to legal requests, or protect our rights, users, or the public (e.g., in cases of fraud or safety threats).
• 3.5 With Your Consent: For any other purpose you explicitly approve, such as sharing event photos in shared albums.

We may disclose anonymized or aggregated data that does not identify individuals.

We implement reasonable organizational and technical measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against breaches. We retain your data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Policy, or as required by law. For example:

• 4.1 Account data is kept while your account is active and for a reasonable period after closure.
• 4.2 Usage logs may be retained for analytics for up to 2 years.
• 4.3 We anonymize data where possible after the retention period.

If you request deletion, we will erase your data unless retention is legally required.

You can also manage preferences, such as unsubscribing from emails or adjusting cookie settings. We do not require full names for registration and minimize sharing of contact details (e.g., phone or email) with other users unless necessary for the Service.

The Service is not intended for children under 13 (or 18 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we learn of such collection, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians should contact us if they believe their child has provided information.
