What we collect and how we use it

SmokyVows is operated by Pope Ventures. In this policy, “we” and “us” mean Pope Ventures.

Your data is not sold, rented, or licensed to anyone. We do not show ads on SmokyVows.

When a vendor pays their SmokyVows subscription, payment information (card number, billing address, and so on) is collected by Stripe, not by SmokyVows. We never see or store card details. Stripe’s privacy policy applies to that payment processing.

We use Resend to send transactional email (sign in verification codes, password resets, new inquiry notifications, booking confirmations, review requests). You can unsubscribe from any non-essential email at any time.

Our AI features are powered by Anthropic. See Anthropic’s privacy policy for details.

Vendor and real-wedding photos are uploaded to Cloudinary. They are accessible by direct URL once uploaded. Don’t upload photos you don’t want public.

We use an httpOnly session cookie to keep you signed in. Cookies are also used to track website analytics and traffic, including advertising traffic, through third-party analytics and advertising providers. We do not respond to Do Not Track signals.

You can review and update the information on your account at any time by signing in and opening your profile. To delete your account and all associated data, email support@smokeyvows.com from the address on your account. We delete account data within 30 days. Reviews you’ve left may be anonymized rather than removed to preserve vendor history.

SmokyVows is not directed to people under 18. We don’t knowingly collect data from minors.

We may update this policy as the service evolves. The date at the top says when it last changed.
