Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This policy explains what personal information Mangala collects, why, who can see it and how to ask us to change or delete it. We aim to collect only what we need to run the service.

1. Who we are

Mangala is operated from Sri Lanka. We are the controller of the personal information described here. Contact us at hello@mangala.store.

2. What we collect

  • Account details: your name, email address and a hashed (not readable) password.
  • Wedding details (couples): names, date, events, venues, your story and photos, budget and seating plans, and the content of your wedding website.
  • Guest lists: the guests you add or upload, which can include names, phone numbers, email addresses, group or table details, meal preference and your own notes.
  • RSVP responses: what guests tell you through your website, such as attendance, party size and meal choices, plus whether and when an invitation link was opened.
  • Vendor business details: business name, category, contact details, packages, prices, descriptions and gallery photos.
  • Messages between couples and vendors.
  • Billing records: which plan you bought, amounts, dates and order references. Your card details are entered on the payment provider’s page and are never seen or stored by us.
  • Usage logs: technical data such as IP address, browser, pages requested and errors, used to keep the service secure and working.

3. Guests’ information and consent

If you are a couple and you add guests, you decide whose information to give us, and we process it for you to run your invitations and RSVPs. You are responsible for having the right to share your guests’ details with us and to contact them, including their agreement where the law requires it. Please only add people you would invite and stop contacting anyone who asks you to.

If you are a guest and want your details removed, please ask the couple first; you can also email hello@mangala.store and we will help.

4. How we use information

  • to provide the service: your account, website, RSVPs, invitations, seating, budget and vendor listing;
  • to deliver messages between couples and vendors, and to send you notifications about them;
  • to take payments and keep billing records;
  • to give support, prevent abuse and keep the service secure;
  • to meet legal obligations.

5. Where it is stored

Account, wedding, guest, vendor and message data is stored in a PostgreSQL database hosted on Railway. Images and files you upload are stored with the file storage service we have configured for the platform. Our hosting providers may process data in countries outside Sri Lanka.

6. Who can see your information

Messages between a couple and a vendor are visible to those two parties and to Mangala administrators, who may read them only to give support or investigate abuse.

Your published website is public to anyone with its address, and a guest’s personal invitation link shows that guest’s invitation. Vendor listings are visible to couples in the directory.

We do not sell your personal information or use it for third-party advertising.

7. Third parties we use

  • Dodo Payments — hosts checkout and acts as merchant of record. It receives the details needed to take payment and handles card data under its own privacy policy.
  • Email delivery provider — sends notifications such as new messages and account emails.
  • Hosting and storage providers — run the application, database and file storage.
  • WhatsApp and SMS — when you send an invitation, the message is sent from your own device or through the carrier you use; those services have their own policies.

These providers may only use your information to provide their service to us.

9. Cookies

We use a single session cookie to keep you signed in. It is essential to the service. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

10. How long we keep it

We keep your information for the life of your account. You can ask us to delete your account and its data at any time by emailing hello@mangala.store; we will do so unless we must keep something for legal or accounting reasons (for example billing records).

Vendor data is kept after a trial or subscription ends so you can reactivate. Ask us if you would prefer it deleted.

11. Your choices and rights

You can ask us to give you a copy of your information, correct it, delete it, or stop using it in a particular way, subject to applicable law. Email hello@mangala.store and we will respond within a reasonable time. You can also edit much of your information directly in the app.

12. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections and hashed passwords. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password.

13. Children

Mangala is not for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version, and we will notify you of material changes by email or in the app. It sits alongside our Terms of Service.
