What we hold, why we hold it, and how to make us stop.
Last updated 28 September 2026.
This page is about two different sets of people. You, if you are planning a celebration and thinking about ordering — or have ordered. And your guests, whose names you type into your guest list and who reply to your invitation. We hold far more of theirs than of yours, and they never agreed anything with us. That distinction runs through everything below.
What we hold about you
- What you tell us to order. Your names, your email address, your dates and venues, your dress code, the notes you write for your designer, and any photographs or music you upload. All of it is what the invitation is made of.
- What you paid. The order, what was on it, and the amount. Card details never reach us — they go to the payment provider and we are told only whether it worked.
- What you write to us. Messages in your panel, and anything you send by email or WhatsApp.
- How you got here. Only if you agreed to cookies — see the cookies page. If you declined, we hold none of it.
What we hold about your guests
Whatever you put on your guest list: a name, and sometimes a phone number, an email address or a group. Then whatever they answer: coming or not, who they are bringing, what they cannot eat, and any note they leave you.
Your guests gave that to you, not to us. We hold it so your invitation can work, we do not use it for anything else, we never market to it, and we never sell or share it. You decide what goes on the list and you can delete any of it from your panel at any time.
Dietary notes say something about a person's health or beliefs. We keep them because you need them for your caterer, we show them only to you and to the person at the studio working on your project, and we delete them with the rest of the list.
Why we are allowed to hold it
- To do what you paid for. Making, delivering and running your invitation, and handling your replies.
- Because we have to. Orders, invoices and payments are kept as long as tax law requires, which is longer than the wedding.
- Because you said yes. Measurement cookies, and nothing else.
Who else sees it
Only the companies that make this work, and only the part each needs: the payment provider, the company that sends our email, the company that hosts the servers, and the measurement services on the cookies page if you agreed to them. Nobody buys anything from us, because nothing is for sale.
Our servers are in Europe. If a supplier moves data outside it, they do so under the standard contractual clauses the EU publishes for exactly that.
How long
- Guest lists and replies: until you delete them, or twelve months after your celebration, whichever comes first. After that they go, and we do not keep a copy.
- Your invitation and what you wrote for it: while your account is open.
- Orders and payment records: as long as tax law requires.
- Messages: three years, so we can still answer a question about an old order.
What you can ask for
A copy of everything we hold about you. A correction. Deletion. A machine-readable export. To object to something we are doing. To withdraw a consent you gave, which takes effect immediately and does not undo what was lawful before it. Write to us and we answer within thirty days.
A guest can ask us the same about themselves. We will usually point them to you first, because the list is yours, and we will act ourselves if they ask us to.
If we get it wrong, you can complain to the data protection authority where you live.
Who you are dealing with
Our registered company details are not published on this page yet. Write to support@briyd.com and we will send them to you.
