FastInvites Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

FastInvites ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our web invitation service. We believe in keeping things simple and transparent, so you know exactly what happens to your data.

• Photos or images you upload for your invitations

We use the information we collect exclusively for internal purposes to provide and improve FastInvites:

• Service Delivery: To create, send, and manage your digital invitations

• Account Management: To process payments and manage subscriptions

4. We Do NOT Sell Your Data

We want to be absolutely clear: FastInvites does NOT sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. Your trust is more valuable to us than any revenue from data brokers.

The only exceptions are service providers who help us operate FastInvites (like email delivery services or hosting providers), and they are contractually obligated to keep your data confidential and use it only for the specific services they provide to us.

5. Cookies and Tracking

Unlike many websites, FastInvites does not use tracking cookies to monitor your behavior across the internet or serve you targeted advertisements. We believe in a cleaner, more respectful web experience.

Essential Cookies Only: We only use strictly necessary cookies that are required for the website to function properly, such as:

• Session cookies to keep you logged in
• Security cookies to protect against fraud
• Preference cookies to remember your settings (like language preferences)

These cookies do not track your behavior and are deleted when you close your browser or log out.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We only share your information in the following limited circumstances:

• With Your Guests: When you send an invitation, your event information and contact details are shared with the recipients you specify
• Service Providers: With trusted third parties who help operate our service (email delivery, hosting, payment processing), under strict confidentiality agreements
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or government request
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with notice to you)
• With Your Consent: Any other sharing requires your explicit permission

7. Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously and implement industry-standard measures to protect it:

• Encryption in transit (HTTPS/SSL) and at rest
• Secure password hashing using modern algorithms
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Access controls limiting who can view your data
• Automated backups to prevent data loss
• Monitoring for suspicious activity and unauthorized access

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but continuously work to improve our safeguards.

8. Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your personal information. You can:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Correction: Update or correct inaccurate information in your account settings
• Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Export: Download your invitation data in a portable format
• Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails (service emails may still be necessary)
• Object: Object to certain data processing activities

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@fastinvites.com. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. After you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 90 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal, tax, or regulatory purposes. Invitation content may be retained longer if requested by you for archival purposes.

10. Children's Privacy

FastInvites is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will delete it promptly.
