Privacy Policy

Vowela is a wedding website service made by inv8 Studio in the Philippines. When this policy says “we” or “us”, it means Vowela and inv8 Studio. We handle personal information in line with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173).

From couples:

• Account details: your name, email address and password (stored securely, never in plain text).
• Wedding details you add: names, dates, venues, photos, your story, entourage and gift information.
• For done-for-you websites: your design brief and the messages you send our team.
• Payment records. Card and e-wallet details are handled by our payment provider, not stored by us.

From guests: the name, reply and number of companions a guest enters when they RSVP, plus any contact details the couple adds to their guest list.

Automatically: basic usage data such as page visits and device type, so we can keep the service working and show couples how many people opened their website.

• To build, publish and host your wedding website.
• To record RSVPs and show them to the couple who owns the website.
• To send account emails, such as confirmations, password resets and hosting reminders.
• To provide support and, for done-for-you websites, to design your site.
• To keep the service secure and improve it.

A wedding website belongs to the couple. They decide who to invite and what to ask, and they can see, edit, export and delete their guest list. We process guest replies on their behalf.

If you’re a guest and want your reply changed or removed, contact the couple, or message us and we’ll pass it on.

We don’t sell personal information, and there are no ads on Vowela websites.

We share information only with services that help us run Vowela, under agreements to protect it:

• Hosting and database providers that store websites and guest lists.
• An email provider that sends account and reminder emails.
• A payment provider that processes purchases.

We may also disclose information when the law requires it.

We keep your website and guest list while your account and hosting are active. When hosting ends or you delete your account, we remove or anonymise your data within a set period, which will be confirmed here before launch. You can delete your draft and guest list yourself at any time from Plan & settings.

Under the Data Privacy Act, you have the right to:

• Know what information we hold about you and how it’s used.
• Get a copy of it, and have it corrected.
• Object to processing, or ask us to delete it.
• File a complaint with the National Privacy Commission.

To use any of these rights, contact us. We’ll reply within one working day.

We use encrypted connections, access controls so each couple only sees their own guests, and trusted infrastructure providers. No system is perfectly secure, but if a breach affects you, we’ll tell you and the National Privacy Commission as the law requires.

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top and tell account holders about important changes by email. Questions? Send us a message.
