• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and usage data for analytics and security purposes.

• To communicate with you regarding inquiries, orders, and support
• To improve our services, templates, and user experience
• To ensure system security and prevent fraud or misuse
• To comply with legal obligations and regulatory requirements

3. Data Processing and Role

In providing our services, ThriftyWedsites acts as a data processor for client-submitted content, and as a data controller for our own business operations (e.g., inquiries, billing, and communication).

By availing our services, you acknowledge and authorize us to process personal data on your behalf, strictly for the purpose of delivering your wedding website and related services.

4. Data Processing Agreement (DPA)

By using our services, you agree to the following data processing terms:

• You confirm that you have obtained necessary consent from all individuals whose personal data you provide to us (e.g., guests, partners, or vendors).
• We will process such data only based on your instructions and for the agreed service scope.
• We implement reasonable security measures to protect such data.
• We will not use client data for purposes outside the agreed service without consent.

5. Facebook Messenger and Webhook Integration

We may use Facebook Messenger and related webhook technologies to receive and manage customer inquiries.

• When you message our Facebook page, your data (such as name, profile information, and message content) may be processed through automated systems or integrations.
• This may include forwarding messages to our internal systems (such as our website or CRM tools) via secure webhooks.
• Such processing is solely for customer support, response management, and service improvement.

By contacting us via Facebook Messenger, you consent to this form of data processing. Facebook’s own privacy policy also applies to your use of their platform.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent personal data. We may share information only when necessary:

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data. However, no system can guarantee absolute security.
