Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 March 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Plan the Party ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about how we use it. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and your rights in relation to it.

By using our service at plantheparty.app, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and authentication credentials. Account creation and login is handled by Clerk, a third-party authentication provider. You may also sign in using Google or other OAuth providers, in which case we receive basic profile information from those services.

Event Planning Data

When you create an event plan, we collect the details you provide — such as event name, date, guest count, budget, theme, and any other information entered in our questionnaire. This data is used to generate your personalised task plan and is stored so you can access and manage it in your workspace.

Usage Data

We automatically collect information about how you interact with our service, including pages visited, features used, and error events. This helps us improve reliability and the user experience. We use Sentry for error monitoring, which may capture anonymised technical information such as browser type, device type, and stack traces.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide, operate, and improve the Plan the Party service
  • To generate AI-powered event task plans based on your inputs
  • To authenticate your identity and keep your account secure
  • To send transactional emails (e.g. account verification, password reset) via Resend
  • To monitor errors and performance using Sentry
  • To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal data to third parties or use it for advertising purposes.

4. AI-Generated Content

Your event planning inputs are sent to OpenAI to generate task suggestions. OpenAI processes this data in accordance with their own privacy policy and data usage terms. We do not share your name, email address, or account credentials with OpenAI — only the event details you enter in the questionnaire.

Please avoid entering sensitive personal information (e.g. financial account numbers, government IDs) in your event planning forms.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account and event planning data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it by law.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services, each of which has their own privacy policy:

  • Clerk — authentication and user management
  • OpenAI — AI task generation
  • Vercel — hosting, serverless functions, and database (Vercel Postgres)
  • Resend — transactional email delivery
  • Sentry — error and performance monitoring

7. Cookies

We use essential cookies to maintain your session and authentication state. These are necessary for the service to function and cannot be disabled. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure credential management via Clerk, and access controls on our database. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Object to or restrict certain types of processing
  • Data portability (receiving your data in a structured format)

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@plantheparty.app. We will respond within 30 days.

10. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with their information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
