Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

These Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy together govern your use of Plan My Wedding BN (the "Service"), at planmyweddingbn.com, operated by Plan My Wedding BN ("we", "us", "our"). By using the Service, you agree to both. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. About the Service

Plan My Wedding BN is a wedding-planning toolkit and vendor directory for couples in Brunei Darussalam. It includes a directory of wedding vendors and tools for planning, such as a checklist, budget tracker, vendor comparison, guest and seating list, and a space to record akad / registration details.

The Service is a planning aid. It does not arrange, officiate or guarantee any part of your wedding, and it is not a substitute for the official religious or governmental processes involved in getting married in Brunei.

2. Who is responsible for your data

Plan My Wedding BN is the organisation responsible for the personal data described here. The operator of Plan My Wedding BN acts as its Data Protection Officer — see Contact for how to reach us.

3. Accounts and activation

• Accounts are activated by us by hand after you contact us (see Contact). There is no self-service sign-up.
• We provide one shared account per couple, using a single email address that both partners can access. Anything one partner enters is visible to the other. By using a shared account, each of you consents to this.
• You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details safe and for activity on your account. Tell us promptly if you think your account has been accessed without permission.
• Do not share your account with anyone outside your couple, and do not use someone else's account.

4. Membership, payment and access period

• Membership is arranged directly with us over Instagram. We do not display prices on the Service and we do not collect card or bank details through it.
• Access lasts 12 months, counted from the date we set your account up — not from the first time you sign in. The 12 months run continuously from that date. Periods when you do not use the Service do not pause or extend them.
• When the 12 months end, your account is deactivated and your data enters a 6-month retention period — set out in full in section 10 (Retention).
• During those 6 months you can still view and download your own data at no charge, and you can reactivate at any time (a further payment), which restores editing and begins a fresh 12-month period.
• After those 6 months, reactivation is no longer possible. Your data is permanently deleted and cannot be restored by you or by us. Using the Service again would mean starting a new, empty account — none of your previous plans can be brought back. If you want to keep a copy, download it before the 6 months are up.
• Payments are non-refundable. You can stop using the Service at any time, but any fee already paid is not refunded and your access period is not shortened, credited or transferred. Choosing to stop or to have your account closed does not entitle you to a refund of the current or any previous payment.
• We may change our fees or membership model in future. Changes will not affect an access period you have already paid for.

5. The personal data we collect

a. Account information. When your account is activated, we hold the email address you use to sign in. One shared account is provided per couple.

b. Your wedding details. The bride's and groom's names and your wedding date.

c. Planning information you enter. As you use the tools, we store what you put in:

• Checklist tasks;
• Budget items, amounts and who is paying;
• Compare Vendors boards — the vendors you shortlist, prices and your private notes;
• Guests & Seating — the names, "side", category, invitation status and RSVP of the people you invite, and your table layout.

d. Shared Information (akad / registration details). If you use this tool, we store the details you enter for the people involved in your akad — which may include the bride, groom, wali, saksi (witnesses) and jurunikah: their full name, IC or passport number, IC colour, age, religion, occupation and address. See section 7 — this includes information about other people, and comes with responsibilities for you.

e. Vendor suggestions. If you submit a vendor update or recommendation, we store what you send us, including your name and Instagram handle and the details of your message.

f. Technical information. Standard information needed to run and secure the Service, such as your session and basic logs from our hosting provider. On our public pages (the directory, the home page and this page) the same hosting provider also counts visits for us: which page was viewed, the site that linked to it, and the country and type of device. This uses no cookies, does not store your IP address, and cannot identify you. It is not used inside your planning account.

g. Your photo (optional). If you choose to add one, we store a photo of the two of you to show on your own title page. It is reduced in size on your device before it is uploaded, kept in private storage that only your account can read, and shown to no one else. You can remove it at any time from "Edit our wedding details", and it is deleted with the rest of your data when your account is deleted. Please upload a photo of yourselves only — see section 7 about other people.

We do not collect payment card or bank details through the Service — payment is arranged separately with you over Instagram.

6. Why we use your data, and your consent

We use your personal data only to:

• provide the Service and the tools you choose to use;
• save your work so it is there when you return;
• activate, manage and support your account;
• keep the vendor directory accurate;
• keep the Service secure and prevent misuse;
• comply with the law.

Our basis for handling your data is your consent, which you give when you agree to these terms at activation and by continuing to use the Service, together with the other bases permitted by the PDPO. You can withdraw your consent at any time (section 11) — though some withdrawals mean we can no longer provide part of the Service.

We will not use your data for a new, unrelated purpose without telling you and, where the PDPO requires it, obtaining fresh consent. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

7. Content you enter, and information about other people

You keep ownership of the information you enter. You grant us the limited right to store and process it solely to provide the Service to you.

Information about other people. Some tools let you record details about people who are not you — your guests, and the wali, saksi and jurunikah in the Shared Information tool. By entering it, you confirm that you are entitled to do so for the purpose of planning your wedding, that you will record only what is reasonably needed and, where appropriate, that the person is aware their details are being recorded. If someone asks you to remove their details, you can delete their record. You are responsible for the personal data you enter about others, including complying with the PDPO in respect of it.

We hold this information on your behalf so you can plan your wedding, and we protect it the same way as your own data.

Please do not enter another person's sensitive details (such as an IC number) unless it is genuinely necessary for your wedding arrangements.

8. Who we share your data with

We keep your data private and share it only:

• With our technology providers who host and run the Service on our behalf — principally Supabase (our database and authentication provider) — under terms that require them to protect your data and use it only to provide the service to us;
• Between the two people who share your couple account (see section 3);
• Where the law requires it, or to protect the rights, safety or property of you, us or others.

We do not share your planning data with vendors or with other couples.

9. Where your data is stored (transfers outside Brunei)

Our database is currently hosted by Supabase in Tokyo, Japan. This means your personal data is transferred to and stored outside Brunei Darussalam.

Where we transfer data outside Brunei, we take steps required by the PDPO so that your data receives a standard of protection comparable to Brunei's — including appropriate contractual protections with our provider.

10. How we protect and keep your data

Security. We use reasonable measures to protect your data, including access controls that keep each couple's data separate so no other user can read it, encrypted connections, and restricted administrative access with an activity log. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and to improve our safeguards over time.

Retention. We keep your data while your account is active. Access lasts 12 months from the date we set your account up, and runs continuously from that date whether or not you use the Service. When your account is deactivated, your data enters a 6-month retention period. Throughout that period you can sign in to view your data and download a copy of it at any time, free of charge, and you can reactivate (by arranging a new payment) — which restores full editing access and begins a fresh 12-month period.

What happens if you do not reactivate. At the end of those 6 months we permanently delete your data. This is final. It cannot be undone, reactivation is no longer available to you, and we will not be able to restore anything — we will no longer hold it. If you wish to use the Service after that point, you would need to start a new account from scratch, with none of your previous wedding details, checklist, budget, guest list, comparisons or shared information. The 6-month period is therefore your last opportunity to download a copy of your data.

You can also ask us to delete your data sooner (section 11), subject to anything we must keep by law.

11. Your rights under the PDPO

Under Brunei's Personal Data Protection Order, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you;
• Correct it if it is wrong or out of date (you can edit most of it directly in the app);
• Withdraw your consent to our handling of your data;
• Request deletion of your data;
• Ask for a copy of your data to take elsewhere.

12. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service unlawfully, or to store unlawful content;
• attempt to access another couple's data, or to break, probe or overload the Service's security;
• copy or scrape the vendor directory for a competing service;
• upload malicious code, or misuse the "Suggest an Update" form to submit false or abusive content;
• use the Service to harass anyone or to infringe anyone's rights.

We may suspend or end access that breaches these Terms.

13. The vendor directory

• The directory is provided to help you find vendors. We compile it from public information and community suggestions and try to keep it accurate, but we do not guarantee that any listing is complete, current or correct, and a listing is not an endorsement.
• We are not a party to any dealing between you and a vendor. Any booking, payment, contract or dispute is strictly between you and the vendor.
• If you are a vendor and want your listing corrected or removed, use "Suggest an Update" or message us (see Contact), and we will act on it.

14. Religious and official content

Where the Service provides reference material — such as akad wording, doa, or descriptions of the nikah process — it is offered for convenience and practice only. It is not religious, legal or governmental authority. Always confirm the correct wording and requirements with the appropriate religious office or authority. We are not responsible for reliance on reference material for official purposes.

15. Availability and limitation of liability

We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we may update, change or withdraw features — see Changes below. The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent permitted by law.

To the fullest extent permitted by Brunei law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost bookings or wedding arrangements, or for any dealings between you and a vendor. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.

16. Suspension and termination

• You may stop using the Service at any time and ask us to delete your data.
• We may suspend or end access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if your access period lapses. On termination, your data is handled as described in section 10.
• Stopping or terminating your account does not entitle you to a refund of any payment already made (see section 4).

17. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Brunei Darussalam, and you agree to the jurisdiction of the Brunei Darussalam courts.

18. Children

The Service is intended for couples who are getting married and are adults. We do not knowingly create accounts for people under 18. If your guest list happens to include a minor, please limit the details you record about them.

Changes to the Service, these Terms & this Policy

We may update, change or withdraw features of the Service, and we may update these Terms or this Privacy Policy. If we make a significant change, we will let you know through the Service or by Instagram. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the current version, and continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the update.
