Shaadi-Audit / Privacy
Privacy Policy
Shaadi-Audit helps two families plan a wedding together. To do that it holds personal details about you, your family and your guests. This page says what we keep, why, who else sees it, and how to have it deleted.
Effective date: 14 November 2026
Who we are
Shaadi-Audit (shaadiaudit.com and the Shaadi-Audit apps) is a product of Animesh Ashok Morale, a sole proprietorship registered in India (Udyam). For this policy, we are the "Data Fiduciary" under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
Contact and grievances: animesh.morale@gmail.com. Write to this address with any question, request or complaint about your data. We reply within 7 days, and resolve requests within 30 days at the latest.
What we collect
| About | What | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| You | Mobile number, name, the weddings you belong to and your role in them | You, when you log in |
| Your wedding | Couple's names, date, city, traditions, events and venues, checklists and tasks, budget and vendors, shagun register, present list, agreements between the families, day-of plan, rooms and travel | You and your family members |
| Your guests | Names, phone numbers, relation, city, number of people, which functions they're invited to, their replies, and travel or stay details if added | Your family, by typing, importing a contact list or file, or from the guest's own RSVP reply |
| Check-ins | How you're feeling, if you use the private "feelings" check-ins | You. Only you can see them |
| Messages | A record of WhatsApp messages sent through the app (to whom, when, and whether delivered or read), and any "STOP" or login message sent to our WhatsApp number | The app and WhatsApp |
| Feedback | What you write in "Tell us", and the screen you were on | You |
| Technical | Login sessions, and server logs with IP address and device type, kept to run and protect the service | Your device |
We do not collect payment card details, location tracking, or your contact list as a whole: when you import contacts, only the ones you choose to add are saved.
Why we use it
- To run the app for your wedding: show the plan, keep each family's lists, and send invitations, reminders and RSVP links on WhatsApp when your family asks.
- To log you in and keep your account secure, including checking your number on WhatsApp or by a one-time code.
- To fix problems and improve the app from the feedback you send.
We do not sell your data, show advertising, or use your data or your guests' data for marketing.
Each family's privacy
A wedding has three places: the bride's family's, the groom's family's, and the shared one. Each family's guest list, budget and shagun register stay with that family. For joint functions the other family sees totals, never names. Within a family, what each person can see and change depends on the role they were given.
Your guests
Families add guests' details so they can invite them. If you add someone's details, you confirm they would expect to be invited and contacted about the wedding. A guest can reply STOP to any WhatsApp message from us and will not be messaged again by any wedding on Shaadi-Audit until they reply START. A guest can also write to animesh.morale@gmail.com to have their details removed.
Who else handles it
- Amazon Web Services: hosts our server and database, in Mumbai, India.
- Meta (WhatsApp): carries WhatsApp messages: invitations, reminders, login messages and replies.
- An SMS provider (MSG91, when SMS is switched on): sends login codes by SMS when asked for.
- Google Fonts: the website loads its fonts from Google, which sees your IP address.
They handle data only to provide these services to us. We share data with authorities only when the law requires it.
Where it's stored and for how long
Data is stored in India. We keep it while your account and wedding are in use. When you delete your account, your personal details are removed straight away. Daily database backups are kept for 14 days and server snapshots for 7 days, so deleted data disappears from those within 14 days. A wedding's shared details stay available to the other members of that wedding until they delete it too.
On your device, the app keeps your login and a copy of the wedding data you last opened, so it works without signal. Signing out removes both.
Your rights
- See and download your data: in the app, My account → Download my data.
- Correct it: edit it in the app, or write to us.
- Delete your account: My account → Delete my account, or write to us.
- Withdraw consent or complain: write to animesh.morale@gmail.com. If you're not satisfied with our answer, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
- Nominate someone to act for you if you can't: write to us.
Children
Shaadi-Audit is for adults (18 and over). Guest lists may include children's names as part of a family; we don't contact them.
Security
Data travels encrypted (HTTPS). Logins use one-time codes or WhatsApp checks, never passwords we store. Sessions can be ended by signing out. Only the person running Shaadi-Audit has access to the server, and only to keep it working.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we'll say so in the app before it takes effect. The date at the top shows the latest version.
