Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026 • Last Updated: October 2026
Summary: Privacy by Architectural Design
Tip Wedding Vendors is built as a client-side utility tool. When you enter vendor contracts, adjust headcount, or compute cash envelope denominations, that data never leaves your device. Calculations run in your browser's JavaScript engine and are saved strictly to your local device memory (localStorage). We do not operate a financial database, require registration, or harvest your wedding finances.
1. Information We Do NOT Collect
Unlike traditional budgeting portals or wedding registry systems, Tip Wedding Vendors does NOT collect or store:
- Vendor contract sums, invoices, or headcount figures you input into the calculator.
- Bank account numbers, credit card details, or banking institution identities.
- Wedding guest names, venue addresses, or personal ceremony dates.
- User account registrations, passwords, or personal identity profiles.
2. Information We Automatically Process (Technical Logs)
When you access our website, standard web server hosting infrastructure may automatically record non-identifying technical metadata, including:
- Device type, browser configuration, and operating system.
- Referring URLs and timestamps of page requests.
- Aggregated, anonymized traffic volume metrics to optimize server performance and uptime.
3. Local Browser Storage (localStorage)
To ensure you do not lose your vendor customization when refreshing the page or switching tabs, our tool uses standard browser localStorage keys:
wedding_tips_config_v2: Stores active vendor toggles, rates, and timing.wedding_tips_checklist_v2: Stores your envelope stuffing checkmark progress.wedding_tips_custom_v2: Stores any custom vendor envelopes you add manually.
You can erase this information at any time by clicking "Reset Defaults" on the calculator or by clearing your browser cache and cookies.
4. Third-Party Links & Affiliate Disclosure
Our website contains curated affiliate links to physical wedding supplies, such as gold foil tip envelopes and stationary accessories on Amazon.com. If you click through and make a qualifying purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
These third-party websites maintain independent privacy policies. We encourage you to review their respective privacy practices when navigating outside our domain.
5. Data Security & Transmission
All communications between your web browser and Tip Wedding Vendors are encrypted via modern Transport Layer Security (HTTPS / SSL). We adhere to industry best practices to prevent unauthorized interception.
6. Rights Under GDPR & CCPA / CPRA
Under global privacy regulations including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), users possess rights regarding personal data disclosure and deletion. Because we do not store, profile, or sell personal identifiers or financial records, your privacy rights are safeguarded by default.
