• Host email address
• Host mobile number, if provided
• Optional event cover image
• Event settings and event code

Information provided by guests may include:

• Event recovery, gallery link, invite, and photo-expiry reminder activity

Payment information may include:

• Checkout and payment status when a paid plan or add-on is used
• Plan, price, promotion, and purchase details needed to complete and support an order

Stripe handles payment card details. Event Capsule does not directly store full payment card numbers.

Technical information may include:

• Browser and device information
• Basic logs needed for debugging, reliability, fraud prevention, abuse prevention, and security
• IP address or similar technical data processed by our hosting, storage, database, domain, and email service providers

We use information to:

• Create and manage event capsules
• Allow guests to join events by QR code, event code, or link
• Allow guests to upload photos during the upload window
• Keep the gallery sealed until the selected reveal time
• Display galleries after reveal
• Let hosts verify access and manage their events
• Send verification, invite, gallery, retention reminder, and other service emails
• Allow hosts to download event photos
• Process payments through Stripe when paid plans or add-ons are used
• Track and enforce photo, guest, and service limits
• Maintain security, prevent abuse, and prevent unauthorized access
• Troubleshoot issues and improve Event Capsule

Event Capsule is designed for private event sharing, but event links and event codes can be forwarded or shared by others.

Guests can upload photos to an event they join. Photos remain sealed from the shared gallery before reveal. After reveal, people with the event or gallery link may be able to view the gallery, depending on the event access design.

Hosts can manage, download, and delete event photos after reveal. Event photo files are not made publicly browsable, but hosts and guests can share event links or copies they have downloaded, so absolute confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.

Guests should only upload photos they have the right to share.

New guest photos are stored in a private storage bucket and are shown through temporary signed URLs when access is allowed. This helps prevent new guest photos from being available through permanent public file URLs.

Photos are intended to remain hidden from the shared gallery until the event reveal time. Before reveal, guests should not see the full gallery. After reveal, people with the event gallery link or event code may be able to view the gallery.

Hosts access host-only features through email verification. Guest upload sessions are also checked before uploads are accepted.

Host-only actions may include:

• Viewing host dashboard details
• Sending gallery links
• Sending invite details
• Downloading event photos
• Deleting selected photos or all event photos
• Accessing host-only previews where available

Event Capsule may send service emails needed to provide the event, including:

• Verification codes
• Event recovery emails
• Gallery links
• Invite details
• Calendar invite attachments
• Photo-expiry reminders around 7 days, 48 hours, and 24 hours before deletion

Expiry reminders help hosts download or delete photos before the retention period ends. These are service messages related to the event and photo retention, not marketing emails.

Hosts may email invite details that include a calendar invite attachment. Calendar invites may include the event name, upload window, join link, event code, and reveal time.

We use trusted service providers to operate Event Capsule, including:

• Supabase for database and file storage
• Resend for transactional email delivery
• Stripe for payment processing
• Lovable and related hosting infrastructure for the web application
• Cloudflare for domain, DNS, and related infrastructure
• Google Search Console for search visibility and indexing monitoring

These providers may process information as needed to provide their services to us. Stripe handles payment card details, and Event Capsule does not directly store full payment card numbers.

Event photos are available for 30 days after the reveal time. After that period, Event Capsule automatically deletes the photos.

Hosts may delete selected photos or all event photos earlier from the host dashboard after reveal. Once photos are deleted, they are no longer available in the gallery or downloads.

Downloading photos does not stop automatic deletion, so hosts should save copies before the expiry date if they want to keep them.

You may contact us to request:

• Access to information associated with your event
• Correction of host contact information
• Deletion of an event or uploaded photos, where reasonably possible
• Help with host access or event recovery

We may need to verify your identity or host access before completing certain requests.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. These include private storage for new event photos, temporary signed photo links where appropriate, host verification for host-only actions, guest session checks for uploads, and server-side access controls for sensitive actions.

No online service can guarantee complete security. Hosts and guests should share event links carefully and avoid uploading highly sensitive content.

Event Capsule is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate permission, contact us at hello@eventcapsule.camera.

Event Capsule may be accessed from different countries. Information may be processed and stored in countries where our service providers operate.

We may update this Privacy Policy as Event Capsule evolves. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above.
