Privacy Policy

What information we collect and when

We collect information from you when you register on our site.

When registering as a user on our site, you will be asked to enter your name and email address. Your zip code may be assumed from your IP address. The zip code is required information so that others may correctly identify you when they wish to form Connections. This can be edited on the “My Account Settings” page. You may also choose to enter your gender and date of birth on the “My Account Settings” page but this is optional.

If completing a vendor profile, you will additionally be asked for your company name, email address, mailing address, and phone number. You may, however, visit our site anonymously.

When completing a quote request, you may be asked to also provide details pertaining to your particular event (event date, location budget, and more).

Your IP address is recorded when you write a review and/or click on a Featured business.

If you exchange messages with users and/or vendors at the website, we store them in order to manage this service at our website and to allow you to view older messages. We may review and disclose them in connection with investigations related to the operation of this website.

If you provide personal information of others to this website, such as their names and email addresses for the purposes of sharing articles/pages and/or inviting them to connect with you on EEP or otherwise, you are authorizing that you are permitted to provide access to the use of that information.

The Site may collect and analyze information from your computer or device including, but not limited to: your operating system, browser type, IP address, type of mobile device used (if relevant), geographical location, and the domain name from which you accessed the Site. We may also automatically record and analyze actions taken by you on the Site including, but not limited to: date and times of use, amount of time spent per page, clicks, page views, and search queries.

What we use your information for

Any of the information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:

A. To personalize your experience. Your zip code will be used to provide local results when viewing this website’s local vendor and event directories. We will use data you provide on quote request forms to provide you with more targeted ads related to your event and the services you still require for the event. Your profile photo will appear on your public profile and on any reviews you write.
B. To forward your quote request to the vendors you indicated in the request
C. The email address you provide may be used to send you information and updates pertaining to your registration, order, or request, in addition to receiving occasional company news, updates, promotions, related product or service information, or emails from our advertising partners if you choose. To manage your preferences for promotional emails and third party emails, go to “My Account Settings” page.
D. Users and Vendors at this site may contact one another via our instant chat feature once a connection has been accepted between the two individuals. Email notifications of those chat messages may be sent if you are offline when the message is received.
E. If you register to attend certain types of events, including EEP bridal shows, the exhibitors at that show and the bridal show producers, where applicable, will receive your Registration Details and may choose to contact you directly via email, mail, or phone (if you provided this information). In some cases, this information may be required to register for the event.
F. Your year of birth and gender, if provided, will be used to gather general demographical statistics for use by EEP and its advertisers.

Privacy Settings Page

As a social networking site for event planning, connections can be formed. Three types of connections are available: user-to-user, user-to-vendor, and vendor-to-vendor. A user must be the one to initiate a user-to-vendor connection, except in the case where a vendor is replying to a quote request. Once a connection is established, two people can communicate with one another using EEP’s instant chat feature. When a vendor replies to a user’s quote request, a user-to-vendor connection is automatically established. A connection can be ended at any time by either a user or a vendor.

All users, whether or not they manage a vendor business, have public profiles. These profiles contain your full name and the city/state in which you reside. You can control who can view what information on these public profiles and public profile sub-pages by managing the following settings on your Privacy Settings page (reached by clicking the Profile link on your User Menu and then clicking the Privacy Settings sub-menu). For the following settings, you can control who sees your information – No one, Everyone, or Connections:

A. Answers to your Profile Info questions – These questions give people insight into past events you’ve planned and your needs regarding upcoming events. You are not required to answer these questions. They just serve to make your public profiles more personalized.
B. Reviews – This a sub-page of your public profile. Your vendor reviews do appear on the vendor’s profile but you can control who sees the page that displays all of your reviews.
C. Connections – this page shows all of your personal and vendor Connections and allows fellow users to see which Connections you have in common.

You also control settings on this page that affect your profile’s ability to be found in searches on the Site.

Events you’re planning are also visible on your public profile. When you create an event, you determine if the event if public (meaning anyone who comes to the site can view all details on an event) or private (meaning only your Connections can view the event).

How we protect your information

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you access your personal information. These security measures include: password protected accounts and databases to safeguard your information and SSL (Secure Sockets Layered) technology to ensure that your information is fully encrypted and sent across the Internet securely. The server is also configured with security monitors and firewalls to actively protect our servers from vulnerabilities.

We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied payment information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway providers database (Stripe), only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and they are required to keep the information confidential. Stripe provides PCI compliance.

After a paid transaction, your payment method details will not be stored on our servers but will be saved on Stripe, our 3rd party secure payment processor. This pertains largely to vendor transactions, as the site is completely free to use at this time.
