1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Amara Wedding Planning Platform ("Amara," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when vendors use our website and sign-up form.
This policy applies to vendor sign-up only.
2. Information We Collect
When you sign up as a vendor, we may collect:
- Business name, contact name, city, email address, and phone number
- Website, Instagram, and TikTok links you choose to provide
- Vendor category and custom category details
- Subscription plan preference and billing interval (monthly or yearly)
- Your consent choices, including authorization to use publicly available business content
- Basic technical information such as browser type and sign-up timestamp, collected automatically when you use the website
3. How We Use Your Information
We use vendor information to:
- Process and review vendor sign-ups
- Contact you about early access, launch updates, and your vendor listing
- Create and maintain vendor profiles using information you provide and publicly available content you authorize
- Feature vendor content on Amara's social channels to help promote vendor businesses, where consent has been given
- Understand interest in subscription plans and improve the Amara app and vendor experience
- Maintain the security and proper functioning of our website and services
4. We Do Not Sell Your Data
Amara does not sell vendor personal information or business data to third parties.
We use vendor data to operate, improve, and prepare the Amara platform. We do not share your information for third-party marketing purposes.
5. How We Share Information
We may share information only in limited circumstances:
- With service providers that help us host, store, or operate the website and database (for example, cloud infrastructure providers), under confidentiality and security obligations
- When required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Amara, vendors, or others
- With your direction or consent
When the app launches, basic vendor profile information you authorize may be displayed to users of the Amara platform so couples can discover and contact vendors.
6. Publicly Available Content
If you consent during sign-up, Amara may collect publicly available photos, descriptions, and business details from your website or social media profiles to build your vendor listing.
You can request updates or removal of your listing by contacting us.
7. Data Retention
We retain vendor sign-up information for as long as needed to manage your sign-up, create your listing, communicate with you, and improve the Service.
If you request deletion of your information or listing, we will remove it within a reasonable timeframe, except where we must retain certain records for legal, security, or operational reasons.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect vendor information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information.
You may also withdraw consent for use of publicly available content or social promotion by contacting us. Some features of the Service may depend on that consent.
To make a request, contact Amara through the Contact link on our website.
10. Cookies and Analytics
Our website may use basic cookies or similar technologies to keep the site working properly and to understand general usage patterns. We use this information only to improve the website and app experience, not to sell data.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date and post the updated policy on our website.
