Effective Date: October 28, 2026
At Gathered by Grace Events, LLC (“Gathered by Grace Events,” “GBG,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), we believe every gathering is a gift. We also believe that the information you share with us deserves thoughtful and responsible care. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit https://gatheredbygraceevents.com/, submit an inquiry, subscribe to our communications, or otherwise interact with us online.
1. Information We Collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
Information you provide directly: Your name, email address, phone number, anticipated event date, event type, service interests, event details, referral source, and information you choose to include in an inquiry.
Newsletter information: Your email address and subscription preferences when you join our Gathered Friends community.
Website and technical information: Information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and website activity, to the extent collected through our website platform, security tools, or enabled technologies.
Client and event information: Information provided during consultations or through our client-management process, including event preferences, communications, proposals, and planning details.
Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information through our general website inquiry form unless we specifically request it through an appropriate channel.
2. How We Use Your Information
We may use personal information to respond to inquiries; evaluate service requests and prepare proposals; coordinate consultations and contracted services; maintain client records; deliver Gathered Friends communications to subscribers; maintain and secure our website; and comply with applicable legal obligations.
Submitting an event inquiry does not automatically enroll you in our marketing newsletter.
3. HoneyBook and Client Communications
We use HoneyBook to help manage inquiries, prospective client information, projects, and related communications. Information submitted through our inquiry form may be processed and stored through HoneyBook to support our response and client-management workflow. HoneyBook also maintains its own applicable privacy practices.
4. Gathered Friends and Email Communications
We use Flodesk to manage our Gathered Friends email community. When you subscribe, you may receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription before being added to our mailing list.
Once subscribed, you may receive occasional Grace Notes, seasonal inspiration, behind-the-scenes stories, business updates, and related communications. You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in our marketing emails or by contacting [email protected].
Unsubscribing from marketing emails does not necessarily stop communications related to an active inquiry or contracted event.
5. Cookies and Website Technologies
Our website and integrated services may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality, security, embedded forms, and other enabled features. The specific technologies used may change as our website evolves. Where applicable, visitors can manage certain cookies through browser settings or privacy controls provided on the website.
6. When We Share Information
We may disclose information to trusted service providers when reasonably necessary to operate our website and business, including providers supporting website hosting, inquiry management, email communications, and technical services.
We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a legitimate business transition. We do not intend to sell our Gathered Friends email subscriber list.
7. Event Photography and Testimonials
Our website may feature photographs, event stories, and testimonials showcasing past gatherings. We seek to use these materials with appropriate permission or other lawful authorization. Clients and event participants may contact us with questions or concerns about a photograph, testimonial, or other material featured on our website.
Permission to publish event photographs and testimonials may also be addressed in applicable client agreements or separate releases.
8. Data Retention and Security
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, managing client relationships, maintaining business records, and satisfying applicable legal obligations.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to our operations. However, no internet-based system can be guaranteed completely secure.
9. Your Privacy Choices
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we maintain about you. We will evaluate and respond to requests as required by applicable law. Certain information may need to be retained for contractual, recordkeeping, security, or legal purposes.
You may also unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link included in those messages.
10. Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for adults seeking event-planning services and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly solicit personal information directly from children under 13 through our website.
11. External Websites and Services
