    1. Information We Collect

    When you book a ceremony, submit a contact form, or interact with our website, we may collect the following information:

    • Personal information: Name, email address, phone number, and mailing address.
    • Ceremony details: Preferred date, package selection, guest count, and special requests.
    • Payment information: Processed securely through our third-party payment providers. We do not store credit card numbers on our servers.
    • Website usage data: Pages visited, browser type, device information, IP address, and referring URLs — collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools.

    2. How We Use Your Information

    • To process and confirm your ceremony booking.
    • To communicate with you regarding your appointment, including reminders and follow-ups.
    • To file your marriage license with the appropriate Texas county after your ceremony.
    • To improve our website and services based on usage patterns.
    • To send promotional communications (only with your consent; you may opt out at any time).

    3. Third-Party Services

    We use trusted third-party services to operate our business. These may include:

    • Acuity Scheduling — for appointment booking and calendar management.
    • Stripe — for secure payment processing.
    • Google Analytics — for anonymous website traffic analysis.
    • Email service providers — for transactional and promotional email delivery.

    Each provider operates under its own privacy policy. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to any third party.

    4. Cookies & Tracking

    Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to:

    • Remember your language and session preferences.
    • Analyze site traffic and user behavior (aggregated, anonymous data).
    • Deliver a better, more personalized experience.

    You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not function as intended.

    5. Data Security

    We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including encrypted data transmission (SSL/TLS), secure database storage, and restricted access controls. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

    6. Data Retention

    We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected — including legal obligations, dispute resolution, and enforcement of our agreements. Ceremony records are retained in accordance with Texas state law.

    • You may request access to the personal data we hold about you.
    • You may request correction of inaccurate information.
    • You may request deletion of your data, subject to legal retention requirements.

    To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through our website.

    8. Children's Privacy

    Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

    9. Changes to This Policy

    We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of our website following any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
