Scope and who we are
This Privacy Policy applies to Jewful's website, applications, events and community services, communications, and related offerings (collectively, the “Services”). Jewful is the operator of the Services.
The Services are intended for people who are at least 18 years old and are currently offered in the United States, with an initial focus on the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
Information we collect
Depending on how you use Jewful, we may collect:
- Account and profile information, such as your name, email address, phone number, and verification/session-related account data, profile details, preferences, and photos.
- Gathering and community information, such as events you create or attend, invitations, RSVP status, attendance history, host and guest communications, group membership, and information you choose to share with hosts, guests, or organizations.
- Location and contact information, including approximate or precise location, event locations, private-event addresses, and contacts you choose to provide or import. We request permission before accessing device location or contacts when required.
- Payment and transaction information. Payments may be processed by Stripe. Jewful may receive transaction details such as purchase amount, status, and limited billing information, while payment card information is handled by the payment processor.
- Device and usage information, such as IP address, browser and device type, operating system, pages viewed, referring pages, timestamps, identifiers, diagnostic information, and activity within the Services.
- Communications, including messages sent through the Services and requests you send to support.
We collect information directly from you, automatically when you use the Services, from other users when they invite or interact with you, and from service providers where permitted.
How we use information
We use personal information to:
- create, maintain, secure, and support accounts;
- provide invitations, RSVPs, event coordination, messaging, payments, and other requested features;
- personalize and improve the Services, understand usage, and develop new features;
- send service communications, security codes, and, with separate consent, promotional communications;
- prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations of our terms;
- respond to support requests and exercise of privacy rights; and
- comply with law and protect users, Jewful, and others.
SMS and mobile information
If you separately opt in, Jewful may send text messages about invitations, RSVP updates, host and guest coordination, and security codes. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. You may also update your choices in account settings or contact us at info@jewful.com. For program details, see our SMS Terms & Conditions.
Jewful does not sell or share mobile phone numbers, SMS opt-in data, or SMS consent status with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. We may disclose this information to service providers that help us deliver the SMS program, such as messaging platform providers, telecommunications carriers, and vendors assisting with text-message delivery. They may use the information only to perform services for Jewful or as required by law.
Cookies and analytics
Jewful and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies needed to operate the Services, remember settings, secure accounts, and understand product performance. Google Analytics may collect device and usage information to help us understand how the Services are used.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking necessary technologies may prevent parts of the Services from working properly. We do not use these technologies for targeted advertising.
Retention and security
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, maintain legitimate business and security records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations. Retention periods vary based on the type of information and why we hold it. We may retain deidentified or aggregated information where it cannot reasonably identify you.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and privacy requests
You may update certain account and communication settings within the Services. You may also request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by emailing info@jewful.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We may retain information when permitted or required by law.
You can unsubscribe from promotional email using the link in the message. For text messages, reply STOP or change your account settings. Declining SMS does not prevent account creation or general use of Jewful, although features that depend on text delivery will be unavailable.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as Jewful evolves. We will post the revised policy here and update the date above. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice through the Services or by email.
Questions or privacy requests may be sent to info@jewful.com.
