6. HOW WE DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients.

Service Providers

We may use companies and independent contractors that assist with:

• Website hosting and maintenance;

• Website analytics;

• Email and communication services;

• Customer-relationship and project-management systems;

• Cloud storage;

• Document preparation and electronic signatures;

• Payment processing and invoicing;

• Information technology and cybersecurity;

• Accounting, tax, insurance, and legal services;

• Marketing support; and

• Other business operations.

These providers may process information only as reasonably necessary to perform services for us, subject to applicable contractual and legal obligations.

Event Vendors and Venues

We may disclose information to venues, caterers, entertainers, designers, rental companies, transportation providers, photographers, videographers, invitation providers, branding providers, or other event professionals when:

• You ask or authorize us to do so;

• Disclosure is necessary to coordinate your event;

• The vendor needs the information to provide a requested service; or

• Disclosure is otherwise permitted by your agreement with us.

For example, dietary or allergy information may be shared with a caterer, guest transportation information may be shared with a transportation company, and event schedules may be shared with participating vendors. Independent venues and vendors maintain their own privacy practices. We are not responsible for how an independent third party processes information after receiving it for its own purposes.

Professional Advisers

We may disclose information to attorneys, accountants, insurers, financial advisers, consultants, and other professional advisers when reasonably necessary.

Legal and Safety Purposes

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

• Comply with a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, or legal process;

• Respond to a lawful government request;

• Protect the safety, rights, or property of AWE, our clients, or another person;

• Investigate fraud, security incidents, or unlawful activity;

• Enforce a contract or policy; or

• Establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim.

Business Transactions

Information may be disclosed or transferred in connection with an actual or proposed:

• Merger;

• Acquisition;

• Financing;

• Reorganization;

• Sale of assets;

• Change in ownership;

• Bankruptcy; or

• Similar business transaction.

Any recipient will be expected to handle personal information in accordance with applicable law.  With Your Direction or permission, we may disclose information to another person or organization.

7. SALE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION AND TARGETED ADVERTISING

We do not sell personal information for monetary compensation. We do not currently process personal information for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising based on a visitor’s activities over time across unaffiliated websites or applications. We do not currently use personal information for profiling that produces legal or similarly significant decisions concerning an individual. We may use analytics and measure the performance of our own website or marketing. These activities may not constitute a “sale” or “targeted advertising” under applicable law. If our practices materially change, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any required opt-out mechanism under applicable law. Where legally required, we will recognize valid browser-based universal opt-out preference signals.

8. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

The website and its service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies. Cookies are small files placed on a browser or device that can help a website function and remember information. We may use the following categories of cookies: 

Essential Cookies

These cookies support basic website operation, security, navigation, accessibility, and form functionality.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages they view, how they reach the website, and whether technical problems occur.

Functional Cookies

These cookies may remember preferences and improve website functionality.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies may help measure marketing performance or support integrated social-media and marketing features. We do not use these technologies to sell personal information. You may be able to manage cookies through the website’s cookie settings or your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect certain website functions.

9. EMAIL AND MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

We may send service-related emails concerning inquiries, consultations, proposals, contracts, invoices, events, or other communications you requested. We may also send promotional emails, newsletters, or information about our services when permitted by law. You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link in the email or contacting us at ali@awe13.com. Unsubscribing from promotional messages will not prevent us from sending transactional, contractual, or service-related communications.

10. PAYMENTS

The website may link to or use third-party invoicing or payment-processing services. When you make a payment through a third-party service, that provider may collect payment card, bank-account, billing, and authentication information under its own privacy policy. AWE may receive information such as:

• Your name;

• Billing contact information;

• Payment amount;

• Payment date;

• Invoice number;

• Payment status; and

• Limited transaction information.

We generally do not need to collect or store a complete payment card number on the website.

11. EVENT PHOTOGRAPHS, VIDEOS, AND TESTIMONIALS

We may display event photographs, videos, testimonials, reviews, designs, or related materials in our portfolio, website, social media accounts, publications, or promotional materials only as permitted by applicable agreements, releases, permissions, and the law. This Privacy Policy itself does not grant AWE permission to publicly use a client’s name, likeness, private event information, photographs, videos, or testimonial.

Publicity and portfolio rights may be addressed in a separate client agreement, a photography release, a vendor agreement, or a written permission. You may contact us with questions about particular portfolio content at ali@awe13.com.

12. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Our website is intended for adults seeking information about event planning and related services. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly request personal information directly from children under 13 through the website. Because Bar and Bat Mitzvahs and other events often honor minors, a parent or legal guardian may provide information about a child as part of an inquiry or client engagement.

When a parent or guardian provides information about a child, the parent or guardian represents that they have authority to provide the information and consent to its use for the requested event-planning purpose. We may process information about a child only as reasonably necessary to:

• Respond to a parent or guardian’s inquiry;

• Plan and personalize an event;

• Communicate with authorized family members and vendors;

• Fulfill a client agreement; or

• Comply with legal obligations.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information directly to us without appropriate parental permission, contact us at ali@awe13.com. We will investigate and take appropriate action.

13. DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information based on its nature and sensitivity. These measures may include:

• Access restrictions;

• Password protection;

• Secure website connections;

• Vendor-management practices;

• Data-minimization practices;

• Secure storage systems; and

• Procedures for responding to suspected security incidents.

No website, email account, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please do not send Social Security numbers, full payment card numbers, passport information, financial account credentials, medical records, or similarly sensitive information through a general website form or ordinary email unless specifically requested and an appropriate secure method has been provided.

14. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to:

• Respond to inquiries;

• Provide requested services;

• Maintain client and business records;

• Complete event obligations;

• Meet legal, tax, accounting, insurance, and regulatory requirements;

• Resolve disputes;

• Enforce agreements; and

• Protect against fraud or security incidents.

Retention periods may vary depending on:

• The type and sensitivity of the information;

• Whether you become a client;

• The duration of the client relationship;

• Contractual obligations;

• Applicable statutes of limitation;

• Legal and tax requirements; and

• Whether information is needed for an active dispute or claim.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to legal and technical limitations. Backup copies may remain for a limited time until they are overwritten or deleted through ordinary system processes.

15. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have the right to:

• Confirm whether we process your personal information;

• Access personal information we maintain about you;

• Correct inaccurate personal information;

• Request deletion of personal information;

• Obtain a portable copy of certain personal information;

• Obtain information about the categories of information we collect and disclose;

• Request a list of specific third parties to which personal information was disclosed, where required;

• Withdraw consent;

• Opt out of the sale of personal information;

• Opt out of targeted advertising;

• Opt out of certain profiling;

• Restrict or object to certain processing;

• Appeal a decision concerning a privacy request; and

• Exercise privacy rights without unlawful discrimination.

These rights are subject to applicable exceptions. For example, we may need to retain information to complete requested services, comply with the law, maintain business records, protect security, prevent fraud, or establish or defend legal claims.

16. DELAWARE PRIVACY RIGHTS

Where the Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act applies, Delaware residents may have the right to:

• Confirm whether we process their personal data;

• Access their personal data;

• Correct inaccuracies;

• Delete personal data provided by or obtained about them;

• Obtain a portable copy of certain personal data;

• Obtain information concerning third parties to which personal data was disclosed;

• Opt out of targeted advertising;

• Opt out of the sale of personal data;

• Opt out of profiling used to make solely automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects; and

• Appeal the denial of a privacy request.

A parent or legal guardian may exercise applicable rights concerning a child’s personal data. We do not currently sell personal information, use it for targeted advertising, or conduct solely automated profiling producing legal or similarly significant effects.

17. HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS

To submit a privacy request, contact:

Email: ali@awe13.com
Subject line: Privacy Request

Please include:

• Your full name;

• Your preferred contact information;

• The nature of your request;

• Your relationship with AWE, if applicable, and

• Enough information for us to locate the relevant records.

We may request additional information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and protect against fraudulent requests. Please do not send a government-issued identification document unless we specifically request it and provide an appropriate method. We will respond within the period required by applicable law. You may generally submit a request free of charge. We may charge a reasonable fee or decline a request where permitted by law, including when a request is manifestly unfounded, excessive, repetitive, technically infeasible, or cannot be authenticated. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by applicable law. We may require proof that the agent is authorized to act on your behalf and may contact you directly to verify the request.

18. APPEALS

Where applicable law provides a right to appeal, you may appeal a denial by emailing ali@awe13.com with the subject line:

Privacy Request Appeal

Please describe the request, our decision, and why you believe the decision should be reconsidered. We will review the appeal and respond within the period required by applicable law. If a Delaware resident’s appeal is denied, the resident may have the right to contact the Delaware Department of Justice regarding the decision.

19. NONDISCRIMINATION

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right. Exercising a privacy right will not result in the denial of services, different pricing, reduced service quality, or retaliation, except where a difference is reasonably related to the value or availability of the information or otherwise permitted by law.

20. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SOCIAL MEDIA

The website may contain links to third-party websites, social-media platforms, venues, vendors, publications, or services.

AWE does not control the privacy or security practices of independent third parties. Information you provide directly to a third party is governed by that party’s privacy policy. Social media platforms may collect information when you view, interact with, or follow links to their services, even when those features appear on our website. Review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing information.

21. INTERNATIONAL VISITORS

AWE is based in the United States, and personal information may be processed and stored in the United States. Privacy laws in the United States may differ from those in your country. Where the laws of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another jurisdiction apply to our processing, you may have additional rights, including the rights to access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent, and to file a complaint with a supervisory authority. Contact ali@awe13.com to make a request relating to applicable international privacy rights.

22. DO NOT TRACK AND UNIVERSAL OPT-OUT SIGNALS

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” settings. Because there is no uniform industry standard governing all Do Not Track signals, the website may not respond to every traditional Do Not Track setting.

Where required by applicable law, we will recognize valid universal opt-out preference signals concerning the sale of personal information or targeted advertising. Because we do not currently sell personal information or process it for targeted advertising, receiving such a signal will not ordinarily change our current practices.

23. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in:

• Our website;

• Our services;

• Our information-handling practices;

• Technology;

• Legal requirements; or

• Business operations.

When we update this Privacy Policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top.

If changes materially affect how we use personal information, we may provide additional notice where required by law.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
