Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Plan the Marriage collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects personal information when you use our websites, accounts, courses, assessments, digital workbooks, reports, partner features, reminders, AI-assisted tools, enrollment and payment flows, communications, and related services, collectively the Services.

We use data minimization where practical. Some experiences may keep information only in your browser when the feature expressly says so. Other member features may store account, course, workbook, report, partner, reminder, and consent records on systems used to provide the Services. The notice shown in a particular feature controls if it provides more specific information about how that feature handles your data.

Depending on which Services you use, we may collect the following categories of information:

• Identifiers and contact information: name, email address, mobile number, account identifiers, role, verification status, login information, and similar details.
• Enrollment and commercial information: courses or products selected, purchase amount, transaction history, enrollment status, Stripe checkout or transaction identifiers, payment status, and related records. Payment card details are handled by Stripe or another disclosed payment processor and are not intended to be stored by Plan the Marriage.
• Course and workbook information: course progress, workbook responses, scores, notes, reports, partner invitations, sharing choices, preferences, reminder settings, and other content you choose to provide through member features.
• Policy and consent records: policy versions presented or accepted, typed or checkbox attestations, timestamps, consent and opt-out records, and minimized integrity or request identifiers used to document transactions and consent.
• Internet and device information: IP address or a minimized or hashed network identifier, browser type, device type, operating system, referral information, security and access logs, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP, cookie identifiers, and similar technical information.
• Communications: messages you send to support, email and text preferences, delivery and engagement information where available, and other interactions with us.
• Inferences and educational outputs: reports, categories, comparisons, or educational insights generated from information available to an assessment, reporting, or AI-assisted feature.

We may also receive information from service providers that support payments, authentication, hosting, email, text messaging, monitoring, analytics, security, customer support, and other functions necessary to operate the Services.

Marriage preparation may involve private or legally sensitive topics such as finances, family relationships, fertility, health, sexual or intimate life, religious beliefs, conflict, or other personal circumstances. You choose what information to provide, subject to any fields required to use a feature.

Member course and workbook features may store responses and related reports so that you can return to the course, generate reports, use reminders, or use partner collaboration features. Some assessments or preview experiences may instead keep responses in browser storage when they expressly say that answers remain on your device.

We do not use private workbook content for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising. We disclose sensitive workbook information only as needed to provide the feature, at your direction, to contracted service providers that support the Services, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

If a state law requires consent, a separate consumer health data notice, or another special authorization for particular sensitive information or processing, we will provide that notice or obtain that consent when the law applies.

We may use personal information to create and secure accounts, process enrollment and payments, provide courses and workbook features, save progress, produce reports, support partner collaboration, deliver reminders, respond to support requests, reconcile transactions, maintain policy and consent records, send requested communications, send marketing when permitted, detect fraud or misuse, monitor service performance, diagnose problems, comply with law, enforce agreements, and protect users and our rights.

We may create aggregated or deidentified information that cannot reasonably be linked to an individual and use it for lawful business, research, security, and service-improvement purposes. We will not attempt to reidentify deidentified data except as permitted by law.

We may disclose personal information to contracted service providers and processors that perform functions on our behalf, including Stripe or other disclosed payment processors and providers supporting hosting, authentication, email, text messaging, monitoring, analytics, security, customer support, and professional services.

We may disclose information at your direction, including when you intentionally accept, send, or use a partner invitation, collaboration feature, or report-sharing feature. We may also disclose information to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, investigate fraud or misuse, protect rights or safety, or as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or transfer of assets subject to applicable law.

We do not sell personal information for money and do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined by applicable state privacy laws. We do not sell, rent, or share mobile opt-in information or SMS consent with third parties for their own independent marketing or promotional purposes.

We may send transactional or relationship communications concerning your account, enrollment, purchase, security, support request, reminder settings, partner activity, or Services you asked us to provide.

We send marketing or promotional texts only when we have the consent required by applicable law. Marketing consent is not a condition of purchase. Message frequency varies and message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of marketing texts by replying STOP where supported or by contacting us, and you may request help by replying HELP where supported.

You may unsubscribe from marketing email using the unsubscribe link in the message. We may still send non-marketing communications needed to provide requested Services, administer your account or transaction, address security, or comply with law.

We retain consent and opt-out records as reasonably necessary to honor your preferences and document compliance.

We use cookies, browser storage, pixels, tags, and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy. These technologies may support sessions, authentication, preferences, security, checkout continuity, course functionality, service diagnostics, measurement, and analytics.

Where applicable law requires consent before a nonessential technology is used, we will request that consent. Where applicable law requires recognition of a qualifying universal opt-out mechanism, we will process supported signals such as Global Privacy Control as required.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, maintain account, enrollment, transaction and consent records, support partner and reminder features, comply with tax and legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, protect security, and enforce agreements.

Retention periods vary by record type and context. Information stored only in your browser remains there until you clear it, reset the applicable feature, clear browser storage, or the browser removes it. Server-side member records may remain after account inactivity when reasonably necessary for the purposes described above or as required by law.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Use a unique password, protect access to your email account, and secure any device that contains locally stored workbook or assessment information.

Depending on your state of residence, whether an applicable law covers Plan the Marriage, and the type of processing involved, you may have rights to:

• confirm whether we process your personal information and access it;
• correct inaccurate personal information;
• delete personal information, subject to legal exceptions;
• obtain a portable copy of certain personal information;
• opt out of the sale of personal information, targeted advertising, certain sharing, or qualifying profiling;
• limit or withdraw consent for certain sensitive personal information;
• appeal a denial of a privacy request where state law provides an appeal right; and
• exercise privacy rights without unlawful discrimination or retaliation.

To exercise a privacy right, email info@planthemarriage.com with the subject Privacy Request and describe the right you wish to exercise. We may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and request. An authorized agent may submit a request where applicable law permits it, subject to verification.

If we deny a request and your state gives you an appeal right, reply to our decision with the subject Privacy Appeal. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, including rights to know, access, correct, delete, opt out of sale or sharing, limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information, and receive nondiscriminatory treatment.

The categories of personal information we may collect are described in Section 2 and may include identifiers, commercial information, internet or electronic activity, approximate geolocation derived from IP, communications, sensitive personal information voluntarily provided through relevant features, and inferences. The business purposes and categories of recipients are described in Sections 4 and 5.

As of the effective date of this Policy, we do not sell personal information for money and do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If our practices change in a way that triggers a right to opt out of sale or sharing, we will provide the required opt-out method and honor qualifying opt-out preference signals as required by law.

We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing in a manner that would require a separate disclosure under California's Shine the Light law.

Residents of states with applicable comprehensive privacy laws, including Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and other states as their laws become applicable, may use the process in Section 9 to exercise rights available under their state law.

Nevada residents may submit a verified request to opt out of a covered sale under Nevada law using the same process.

Some states impose additional requirements for consumer health data or other sensitive information. To the extent such a law applies to information we collect or process, we will provide the separate notice, consent, deletion process, or authorization required by that law.

The Services are intended for adults age 18 and older and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly offer the Services for use by minors. If you believe a minor has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can evaluate the situation and take appropriate action.

Plan the Marriage is directed primarily to users in the United States. Information may be processed in the United States and in other locations where contracted service providers operate, subject to applicable law and safeguards.

We may update this Privacy Policy as the Services, vendors, technology, or legal requirements change. Material updates will receive a new effective date or version and additional notice when required by law.
