What we store
- Your account: your email address, WhatsApp number and password. Passwords are stored scrambled (hashed), so no one can read them, including us.
- Your invitation: names, wording, events, venues, the photos you upload and your chosen design. We remove hidden details such as location from photos when you upload them.
- Your guest list: the names and phone numbers you add, and each guest’s reply, meal choices, note and seat. We also record when you marked an invitation as sent and when a guest first opened their link, so you can see who has seen it.
- Your planning: checklist, budget, vendors and seating plans.
- Payments: which plan you bought, the amount and the date. Card details go directly to Stripe; we never see or store your card number. If you pay by bank transfer, we keep the receipt you upload privately so we can check it.
How we use it
- To show your invitation to the guests you send links to, and to collect their replies for you.
- To let you sign in, keep your account secure and stop abuse.
- To take payments and answer your questions.
We don’t sell your data, share it for advertising, or message your guests. We don’t use advertising or tracking tools on the site.
Who can see it
- You see everything in your account.
- Each guest sees only the invitation and the events you invited them to, through their own personal link. Invitations aren’t listed by search engines.
- We look at account details only when we need to, for example to help when you ask or to review a payment.
Services that help us run Sihina
These companies store or process data for us, only to provide the service:
- Vercel hosts the website.
- Supabase stores the database, photos and payment receipts.
- Stripe processes card payments.
Their servers may be outside Sri Lanka. Data is sent to them over encrypted connections.
Cookies
We use one cookie to keep you signed in, and your browser remembers whether you prefer the light or dark look. There are no advertising or tracking cookies.
How long we keep it
A published invitation stays online for two years from your first event, then becomes a thank-you page. We keep your account and its data until you ask us to delete it. Payment records may be kept longer where the law requires it.
Your choices
- You can edit or remove guests, photos and details in your dashboard at any time.
- You can download a keepsake of your invitation and replies from your dashboard.
- To get a copy of your data or have your account and everything in it deleted, email contact@sihinainvitation.com from your account’s email address.
If you are a guest
The couple who invited you added your details and decides what happens to them. To change or remove your reply, contact them. You can also write to us and we’ll pass your request on.
Children
Accounts are for adults only. Couples may add children as guests, for example to count meals.
Changes
If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top. For important changes we’ll email you first.
