Privacy Policy
The Special Wedding is a planner platform. This policy covers planner accounts, team-member access, couple portals, and external calendar connections used for shared scheduling (Google Calendar, Microsoft 365 / Outlook, iCloud, and Exchange/EWS).
We collect planner account information, team-member account information, wedding metadata, couple contact details, meeting details, and external calendar connection metadata required to run the shared planner calendar.
We use Aurinko as our calendar integration provider. When a planner or permitted team member connects an external calendar, Aurinko brokers the OAuth handshake with the chosen provider (Google, Microsoft 365, iCloud, or Exchange/EWS) and returns an Aurinko account token to us; we do not receive or store the provider-issued OAuth refresh token directly. We store the encrypted Aurinko account token, the connected account email, selected calendar metadata, sync settings, health state, and timestamps needed to create, update, delete, and display calendar projections. Internal meetings remain the source of truth; connected calendars are projections of those internal records.
OAuth callback state is signed and validated against the authenticated workspace user before a connection is created. Tokens are not returned in API responses and are not intended to be surfaced in logs.
Couples do not connect their own calendars in v1. Couple meeting delivery uses email plus ICS attachments or links, and meetings are also shown in the couple portal.
Shared external calendars are only shown in team views when the planner owner has explicitly enabled sharing. Personal external calendars default to busy/free only unless the planner owner explicitly enables full detail sharing for that connection.
Disconnecting a calendar removes local connection records and revokes the Aurinko account token, which in turn revokes the upstream provider session for that connected account. Additional Google data deletion details are documented on the data deletion page.
Google API Services User Data Policy. Where a user connects a Google account, the calendar data we receive originates from Google APIs (via our integration provider Aurinko). The Special Wedding's use and transfer of that data adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically, data obtained through Google Calendar scopes is used only to provide and improve the user-facing calendar features described above. We do not transfer this data to third parties except as necessary to provide or improve those features, comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets with notice to users. We do not use this data for serving advertisements. We do not allow humans to read this data unless we have the user's affirmative agreement for specific messages, are doing so for security purposes (such as investigating abuse), comply with applicable law, or the data has been aggregated and anonymized for internal operations.
If a connection becomes expired or unhealthy, the app may stop projecting events until the user reconnects or refreshes the connection.
