Privacy Policy

Introduction

Modernday Event Design, LLC (“Modernday Event Design,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Southern California-based event planning and design company serving local clients and destination clients who travel to California. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information with transparency and care.

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect the personal information you share with us through our website, www.moderndayeventdesign.com (the “Site”), and in the course of providing event planning services to you.

By visiting our Site or engaging our services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and our accompanying Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, please discontinue use of our Site and services.

Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meanings set forth in our Terms of Use.

Information We Collect

Personal Information You Provide

We collect personal information only when you voluntarily provide it to us. This may occur when you:

• Inquire about or register for our services

• Submit a contact form or send us an email

• Enter into a service agreement with us

• Communicate with us by phone, email, or in person during the event planning process

The personal information we collect includes your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and event details. We collect only what is necessary to plan and deliver your event. Payment transactions are handled entirely through HoneyBook, which uses Stripe as its payment processor; we do not collect, process, or store your payment information ourselves.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our Site, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring website, and pages visited. This information is used solely to maintain and improve the performance of our Site. It is not used to identify you personally, and we do not use it for behavioral advertising or tracking.

Cookies

Our Site may use cookies — small text files placed on your device by your browser — to personalize your browsing experience and remember your preferences between visits. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses. You may configure your browser to decline cookies, though some Site features may not function fully without them.

Anonymous Demographic Information

We may collect non-identifiable demographic data such as general age range or geographic region to better understand the clients we serve. This information cannot be used to identify you personally.

How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information strictly to provide the event planning and design services you have requested. Specifically, we use your information to:

• Communicate with you about your event, including timelines, vendor coordination, and logistics

• Fulfill the terms of our service agreement with you

• Respond to your inquiries and provide client support

• Send you relevant service-related announcements and updates about your event

• Maintain records as required by law or for legitimate business purposes

• Improve our website and service quality

We do not use your personal information for unsolicited marketing, behavioral profiling, or to contact you on behalf of third-party advertisers.

Sharing Your Information with Third Parties

Our Core Commitment

We do not share your personal information with third-party vendors without your express prior authorization. We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to any third party, and we do not share your information with external business partners for marketing or advertising purposes.

Vendor Coordination — Only With Your Express Authorization

When you authorize us to coordinate with specific service providers for your event — such as photographers, officiants, caterers, florists, or venue staff — we will initiate a direct email introduction limited to what is necessary to fulfill your event services. We share only the information needed to facilitate that introduction. All vendors are expected to use your information solely to provide the services relevant to your event.

We will not introduce you to, or share your information with, any vendor without first receiving your express authorization to do so.

HoneyBook — Our Client Management Platform

We manage client projects, contracts, and communications through HoneyBook, a third-party client relationship management (CRM) platform. HoneyBook processes and stores project-related information on our behalf, including contact details and signed agreements. HoneyBook operates under its own privacy policy and security standards, which we encourage you to review at www.honeybook.com.

HoneyBook facilitates payment processing for our invoices using Stripe, a leading third-party payment processor, as its underlying payment infrastructure. All payment transactions — including credit card and banking information — are handled entirely and securely by Stripe through HoneyBook’s platform. We do not have access to, cannot view, and do not store your payment card numbers, banking details, or any other payment information on our own systems at any point. Stripe and HoneyBook each operate under their own privacy policies and security standards, which we encourage you to review at www.stripe.com and www.honeybook.com respectively.

Other Service Providers

We may share your information with additional trusted third-party providers who support the operation of our business, such as cloud storage providers and email communication platforms. These providers are permitted to use your information only as necessary to perform services for us and are required to maintain the confidentiality and security of your information.

Legal Disclosures

We may disclose your personal information without prior notice if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with applicable law or legal process; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Modernday Event Design; or (c) protect the personal safety of our clients, employees, or the public in urgent circumstances.

Client Records and Data Retention

Client project records — including contact information, event details, contracts, and communications — are maintained within our HoneyBook CRM. When a project is completed, records are archived within HoneyBook and are no longer actively used for business purposes, but are retained in archived status to meet legal, contractual, and record-keeping obligations.

We retain archived client records for a period of seven (7) years following the conclusion of our engagement. This retention period reflects our obligations under applicable federal and state tax law, including the IRS’s standard audit lookback period and California Franchise Tax Board requirements, as well as our need to maintain records sufficient to respond to any legal claims, contract disputes, or regulatory inquiries that may arise after a project is completed. After the seven-year retention period has passed, records will be deleted or de-identified in accordance with our standard data management practices.

You may request earlier deletion of your information, subject to the exceptions described in the Your Privacy Rights section below.

Sensitive Personal Information

Under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), certain categories of personal information are considered “sensitive.” The only category of sensitive personal information relevant to our services is financial information associated with payment transactions. As noted above, all payment processing is handled by Stripe through HoneyBook’s platform. We do not collect, access, view, or store your payment card numbers, bank account details, or other financial account information at any time. We therefore do not use or disclose sensitive personal information beyond what is strictly necessary to facilitate your event services.

Your Privacy Rights (California Residents)

As a California-based business, we comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA). California residents have the following rights with respect to their personal information:

Right to Know

You have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which it was collected, the business purpose for collecting it, and the categories of third parties with whom it has been shared.

Right to Correct

You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you. Upon receipt of a verifiable request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the information in our records and will direct our service providers to correct it in theirs.

Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete your personal information from our records. Upon receipt of a verifiable request, we will delete your personal information and direct our service providers to do the same, subject to the exceptions listed below.

We may be unable to fulfill a deletion request when retaining your information is necessary to:

• Complete a transaction or fulfill our service agreement with you

• Detect or prevent security incidents or fraudulent, illegal, or deceptive activity

• Debug and repair errors in our systems

• Comply with a legal obligation

• Exercise or defend legal claims

• Enable internal uses reasonably aligned with your relationship with us

If we receive a deletion request and are unable to comply due to one of the exceptions above — for example, because the record is needed for tax compliance, audit defense, or resolution of a potential legal claim — we will notify you of this in writing, identify the exception(s) that apply, and delete your information as soon as the applicable retention obligation has been satisfied.

Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising or any commercial purpose beyond what is described in this Privacy Policy. Because we do not engage in these activities, there is nothing to opt out of — but if you believe your information has been used in a way you did not authorize, please contact us immediately using the information in the Contact section below.

Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information

You have the right to direct us to limit our use of sensitive personal information to what is necessary to perform the services you have requested. As described above, the only sensitive personal information relevant to our services is payment data, which is processed exclusively by HoneyBook and is never accessible to us.

Right to Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. Exercising your rights will not affect the quality or availability of services we provide to you.

How to Submit a Privacy Rights Request

To exercise any of the rights above, please submit a verifiable request to us using one of the contact methods listed at the end of this Privacy Policy. We will acknowledge receipt of your request promptly and respond within 45 days. If we require additional time to fulfill your request (up to an additional 45 days), we will notify you in writing of the extension and the reason for it before the initial 45-day period expires.

To protect your privacy, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will not fulfill a request if we are unable to verify that the person making the request is the person about whom we hold information, or is authorized to act on that person’s behalf.

Clients From Other States and Countries

While our primary compliance framework is California law, we serve destination clients who travel from other U.S. states and countries to host events in California. Clients from states with their own privacy laws — such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and others — retain any rights afforded to them under applicable state privacy law. Please contact us if you have questions about how your state’s privacy laws may apply to your information.

Security of Your Personal Information

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our client management platform, HoneyBook, employs industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit and at rest.

However, no method of data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. By using our Site and services, you acknowledge the inherent security limitations of the Internet.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a security incident that results in the unauthorized access, disclosure, or acquisition of your personal information, we will notify you as required by California Civil Code §1798.82 and any other applicable law. We will provide notification without unreasonable delay and, where required, within the timeframes prescribed by law. Notification will be delivered to the email address associated with your account or, where email notification is insufficient, by an alternative method permitted by law.

If a breach originates from a third-party platform such as HoneyBook, we will coordinate with that platform and notify affected clients in accordance with our legal obligations and the platform’s breach response procedures.

Children’s Privacy

Our Site and services are intended solely for adults. Because our services consist of event planning and design under legally binding service agreements, we require all clients and prospective clients to be adults who are legally capable of entering into contracts. We do not knowingly permit minors to use our services, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, please do not submit any personal information through our Site or contact forms. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, we will promptly delete it from our records.

Third-Party Websites

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites or services, including vendor websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to our own Site and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by sending a notice to the primary email address on file with us, by posting a prominent notice on our Site, or both. Your continued use of our Site or services after the effective date of any change constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
