Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 18, 2026 · Questions? Contact us at joshuastfort7@gmail.com.

This policy explains what Bonfet collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. We don't sell your personal information, and Bonfet doesn't show ads.

1. What we collect

Account details: your email address, password (stored securely by our login provider), and whether you're a customer or a vendor.
Event details: what you're celebrating, the date, city and state, guest count, budget, style choices, notes, and any inspiration photos you upload.
Vendor profiles: business name, category, city, bio, price range, packages, portfolio photos, Instagram handle, and member deals, plus photos, links, and notes sent for verification (seen only by Bonfet's team, never by customers).
Messages and reviews: messages sent between customers and vendors after a deposit, and reviews you post.
Payment records: amounts, fees, payment and refund status, and Stripe reference numbers. We never see or store your full card number. Vendors' identity details, Social Security numbers, and bank information go directly to Stripe — Bonfet never sees them.
Bonfet Plus and gift cards: your membership status, the month and day of your birthday if you add it (never the year), and for gift cards, the recipient's name and email and your message.
Notifications: the in-app notices we send you, and whether you've read them.
Language: the language you pick in the app, so emails, notifications, and texts reach you in it.
Text alerts (only if you turn them on): your mobile number and when you agreed to texts. We use it only for alerts about your own account — never for marketing — and never sell or share it for marketing.
Ask Bonfet: the questions you type, plus your recent event details (type, date, area, guests, budget) or your business category, are sent to our AI provider to answer you. We don't save these conversations.
Crash reports: if the app hits an error, it sends us the error message and which page it happened on — not your name, email, or anything you typed.
Visit counts: we count page visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and doesn't follow you to other sites.
On your device only: your light/dark choice is saved in your browser, not on our servers.

2. How we use it

To create your design plan, match your event with vendors, and send them leads.
To process payments, payouts, refunds, subscriptions, Plus, and gift cards.
To send notifications and emails about leads, offers, bookings, payments, messages, and reviews.
To keep the marketplace safe and fair — for example, we automatically check quotes, profiles, and messages for contact details or outside-payment requests before a deposit, and we watch for fraud.
To provide support and improve Bonfet.

3. Who sees what

Vendors matched to your event see your event details, plan, and inspiration photos — not your email or phone. Messaging, and a vendor's Instagram, open only after you pay a deposit.
Customers see vendor profiles, portfolios, packages, ratings, and reviews. Reviews show as "Verified booking," without the reviewer's name.
Bonfet's team reads a booking's messages only when someone reports a problem on it, to sort it out.
Service providers that run Bonfet for us, only as needed: Supabase (database, login, and photo storage), Railway (servers), Netlify (website), Stripe (payments and vendor verification), Anthropic (AI that creates plans from your descriptions and photos), Resend (email), Twilio (text alerts, only if you turn them on), and Cloudflare (visit counts).
We may share information if the law requires it, or to protect people's safety or Bonfet's rights.

4. How long we keep it

We keep your information while your account is open. Payment and tax records may be kept longer where the law requires. When you close your account, we delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable time, except what we must keep by law.

5. Your choices

Edit your profile and business details in the app at any time.
Delete your account any time in Settings. We erase your name, email, phone, and birthday, delete plans that never became a booking, and stop any subscription. Booking and payment records stay where the law requires.
Email us to see the information we hold about you or to correct it.
Cancel Pro, Premier, or Plus anytime from the billing page.
Turn text alerts off in Settings, or reply STOP to any text.

6. Security

We protect your information with secure connections, access controls that limit what each account can see, and trusted providers for payments and storage. No system is perfect, so please use a strong password and tell us right away if you think your account was accessed without permission.

7. Children

Bonfet is for adults 18 and older. We don't knowingly collect information from children. Event details about a child's party, entered by a parent, are used only to plan that event.

8. Changes

We may update this policy and will post the new version here with a new date. For significant changes, we'll let you know in the app or by email.
