Privacy
PartyIssue makes magazine-style invitations, RSVP pages and guest books. This page explains what personal data we handle, why, for how long, and what you can ask us to do with it. We keep it short and plain on purpose.
Who we are
PartyIssue is run by [COMPANY NAME], [ORGANISATION NUMBER], [ADDRESS], Sweden. Contact: [privacy@partyissue.com]. We are the data controller for the data described here.
If you bought from our Etsy shop, Etsy handles your order, payment and address as its own controller under Etsy’s privacy policy. We don’t receive your payment details.
What we handle, and why
| Data | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your design in the editor (text, photos) | So you can make your invitation. It is saved in your own browser, not on our servers. | Until you clear your browser |
| Photos sent for background removal or export | To make the cut-out or the file you asked for | Deleted right after processing; finished files expire after a few days |
| Host: email address, event details, guest list (names and emails) | To send the invitations, reminders and reply alerts you asked for (our agreement with you) | 90 days after the party, or five years if the host keeps the finished guest book |
| Guest: reply, number of guests, dietary needs, a note to the host | To tell the host who is coming. Dietary needs are optional and only shown to the host. | Same as the event |
| Guest: memories, guest book messages and photos | Only with your tick in the consent box, to put them in the guest book and the magazine | Same as the event. You can delete your own message at any time. |
| Optional reminder email from a guest | To send the one reminder you asked for | Same as the event |
| Technical logs (IP address, browser) | To keep the service secure and stop abuse | Up to 30 days |
We never sell personal data. Etsy buyers and their guests are never added to any mailing list.
Who helps us
- Fly.io hosts the service (servers in Stockholm, Sweden).

- Google Fonts delivers the typefaces, which means your browser contacts Google’s servers.

You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, to receive a copy, or to object to how we use it. Write to [privacy@partyissue.com] and we answer within 30 days. Guests can delete their own guest book message from the phone they wrote it on; hosts can delete any message or photo from their dashboard.

Cookies
We don’t use advertising or tracking cookies. The editor and invitation pages store your work and settings in your own browser (local storage), which is needed for the service to work.
