Privacy Policy

GuestLink (“GuestLink”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is an event guest management platform operated by Oladoyin Adedokun, sole proprietor, located at 54 Carrier Cres, Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use our website (guestlink.org), our application, and our email/SMS messaging services (together, the “Service”).

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

• Account information — name, email address, and hashed password provided by event hosts when creating a GuestLink account.
• Event information — event name, date, time, location, description, and any custom branding supplied by the event host.
• Guest information — guest names, email addresses, and mobile phone numbers uploaded by event hosts for the sole purpose of delivering invitations, RSVP confirmations, reminders, check-in notifications, and thank-you messages related to the specific event.
• Communication metadata — timestamps and delivery status of messages we send on a host’s behalf.
• Payment information — processed by Stripe. GuestLink never stores full card numbers.

2. How We Collect SMS Opt-In Consent

GuestLink sends text messages only on behalf of the event host, and only to guests whose phone numbers were provided by the host. When an event host uploads a guest list or enters a guest’s phone number into GuestLink, the host confirms that they have obtained the guest’s consent to receive event-related SMS from GuestLink on the host’s behalf.

Mobile phone numbers and SMS opt-in data are never sold, rented, shared, or disclosed to third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. SMS consent data collected through GuestLink is not shared with any third party for any purpose outside of delivering the specific event messages the host has requested.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and maintain host accounts and deliver the Service.
• Send the following event communications on behalf of the host:
  • Event invitations (one per guest, per event)
  • RSVP confirmation messages
  • Pre-event reminders (typically 48 hours before the event)
  • Check-in welcome messages
  • Post-event thank-you messages
• Process payments for paid event packages via Stripe.
• Prevent abuse, debug issues, and secure the platform.
• Comply with legal obligations.

4. SMS Program Details

• Message frequency: variable. Guests typically receive between 1 and 5 messages per event (invitation, RSVP confirmation, reminder, check-in, thank-you).
• Message & data rates may apply — standard carrier rates apply.
• Opt-out: reply STOP to any GuestLink SMS to unsubscribe from further messages for that event.
• Help: reply HELP for support, or email us at [email protected].
• Supported carriers include all major US and Canadian mobile carriers.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell personal information. We share information only with the following service providers, strictly as required to operate the Service:

• Twilio — SMS delivery
• Resend — email delivery
• Stripe — payment processing
• Our cloud hosting and database providers — to store and serve the application

These providers are contractually bound to handle information only for the purposes we direct.

6. Data Retention

Guest information is retained only for as long as needed to deliver the event and related messages. Event hosts may delete their events (and all associated guest data) at any time from their dashboard. Account data is retained until the host requests deletion by emailing [email protected].

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, email us at [email protected].

8. Security

We use industry-standard safeguards including TLS in transit, encrypted database connections, hashed passwords, and access controls. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, but we work hard to protect your information.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
