Your guests' data and privacy
Your guests' details and replies are visible only to you and the team members you invite, and invitation pages are hidden from search engines. When a guest asks to be removed, you can delete them and everything they sent.
On this page
What is stored about your guests
- What you add: names, email addresses, phone numbers, organisations, the people coming with them, a postal address, your own notes, their table and the gifts they gave you.
- What guests give on the invitation: their reply and, if they choose, an email address, a phone number, their companions' names, a message to you, a meal choice, a request for a place to stay, dietary notes, photos, a guest book entry, song requests and gift reservations.
Dietary notes are only shared with a separate consent tick. When you add guests from your phone's contacts, only the people you tick are saved; the rest of your contacts stay on your phone.
Who can see it
- You and the team members you invite to the event. A Viewer can look but not change anything, and does not see the PIN.
- Other guests never see who is coming. They only see what you publish: photos and guest book entries you have approved, and how many of each gift are taken, never who took them.
- Invitation pages are hidden from search engines. Only someone with your link, a guest's personal link or your QR code can open one.
Who is responsible for guest data
You decide what to ask your guests and what happens with their answers. In data protection terms, you are responsible for your guest list (the controller), and we process it for you, as set out in our data processing agreement. Businesses can ask legal@vowly.co for a counter-signed copy.
When a guest asks to be removed
- Open Guests and press the bin icon (Delete) on the guest's row.
- Confirm.
- Open Guests, swipe the guest's row to the left and tap Remove.
- Confirm.
This removes the guest with their reply, their personal link and what they sent you through the invitation, such as dietary notes, guest book entries, song requests, photos and their seat. A gift they reserved stays reserved. It cannot be undone.
A guest who only wants fewer emails does not need you: every email we send them has a link at the bottom that stops emails about your event. Guests who cannot reach you can write to support@vowly.co; we help them or pass the request on to you.
How long it is kept
Guest data is not deleted automatically after the event. It stays until you remove the guest, delete the event or delete your account.
Frequently asked questions
Can guests see who else is coming?
No. Replies are only visible to you and your team.
Will my invitation show up on Google?
No. Invitation pages are hidden from search engines. Only people you give the link or QR code to can open them.
Can a guest delete their own reply?
A guest can change their reply or cancel it, which marks them as not coming, but cannot delete it. To remove their details completely, remove the guest from your list.
