Currently, we have deployed code tags for Google (including for Google Analytics, Google Ads and Google Signals), LinkedIn and Meta (Facebook and Instagram) to log when users view specific pages or take specific actions on our website and application. This process includes those third-parties' use of cookies and/or device identifiers to collect information on users' behavior on our website (which can be related to other user information available through those third parties) and/or to serve ads to users on their networks based on your past visits to our website.

Any third parties to whom we may disclose personal information may have their own privacy policies which describe how they use and disclose personal information, and is not subject to our control. Those policies will govern use, handling and disclosure of your personal information once we have shared it with those third parties as described in this Privacy Policy. If you want to learn more about their privacy practices, we encourage you to visit the websites of or to otherwise contact those third parties. These entities or their servers may be located either inside or outside the United States.
We believe you should have the ability to access and edit the information that you have provided to us. You may change any of your account information that you provided to us online at any time by logging in and in accordance with the posted instructions. You may also access and correct your personal information and privacy preferences by contacting us at:

Please include your name, address, and/or e-mail address when you contact us.
We encourage you to promptly update your account information if it changes. You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed, and upon request we will delete your account information on our active servers. However, because we keep track of past transactions involving payments to us to maintain your account, you cannot delete information associated with past transactions with Planning Pod on this site. In addition, it may be impossible to completely delete your information without retaining some residual information because of backups.
You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but that may result in you being unable to use certain features of our site or our other services because such information may be required in order for you to register as a subscriber; purchase products or services through our site or by phone; or initiate other transactions through us.
We may, from time to time, send you e-mail regarding our products and services. In addition, we may, from time to time, ask if you want to opt-in to receive offers or information from us, and if you opt-in we may occasionally send you e-mail, text messages and direct mail about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you.
At any time you can choose to no longer receive commercial or promotional e-mails or newsletters from us by updating your online opt-in preferences or requesting to opt-out of receiving these emails. You also will be given the opportunity, in any commercial e-mail that we send to you, to opt out of receiving such messages in the future. It may take up to 10 days for us to process an opt-out request. We may send you other types of transactional and relationship e-mail communications, such as service announcements, administrative notices and surveys, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them. Please note that changing information in your account, or otherwise opting out of receipt of promotional e-mail or text message communications will only affect future activities or communications from us.
You also have choices with respect to cookies, as described below. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies, some parts of our site may not work properly in your case.
We have instituted measures to help safeguard your personal information. For example, access by you to your account is available through a password and unique customer ID selected by you. This password is encrypted. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. In addition, you have the ability to grant employees, contractors, clients and other contacts access to your account; we recommend that you limit access to only those individuals whom you trust with your personal and business information. You can modify what information in your account these individuals can access in the "Settings" area of your account. Further, only authorized My Wedding Workbook employees are permitted to access personal information, and they may do so only for permitted business functions. In certain cases, we may also need to ask for your permission in order to view certain data, inlcuding but not limited to email and text communications contained in your account.
In order to most efficiently serve you, credit card transactions and order fulfillment are handled by established third-party banking, processing agents and distribution institutions. They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information and to process your order. In addition, when you use third-party payment processors to process credit card or ACH/e-Check payments via the Planning Pod site, those third parties will also receive the information needed to verify and authorize those transactions.
Unfortunately, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take many steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information, searches, or other communications will always remain secure. You should also take care with how you handle and disclose your personal information. As a result, you acknowledge and agree that our system may not be completely secure including, but not limited to the following: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet that are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this site cannot be guaranteed; (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party and (d) you provide information to us at your sole risk.
When you use our site we will store cookies on your computer in order to facilitate and customize your use of our site. A cookie is a small data text file, which a Web site stores on your computer's hard drive (if your Web browser permits) that can later be retrieved to identify you to us. The cookies make your use of the site easier, make the site run more smoothly and help us to maintain a secure site. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our site may not work properly in that case.
This Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. For example, there are a number of places on our site where you may click on a link to access other websites that do not operate under this Privacy Policy. Other sites accessible through our site have their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. We are not responsible for and shall not be liable for any third party content, advertising, products, services or the policies or practices of third parties. We recommend that you consult the privacy statements of all third-party websites you visit by clicking on the "privacy" link typically located at the bottom of the webpage you are visiting.

Such activities are beyond our control and this Policy does not apply to such information. Any submissions to discussion forums, chat rooms, blogs or other public areas on this site are accepted with the understanding that they are accessible to all third parties. If you do not want your comments to be viewed by third parties, you are advised not to make any submissions.
