SSL and Security Settings

Security for Your Wedding Website

Your guests trust you with their information. Here's how we keep everything secure.

Automatic SSL/HTTPS

Every Marry The Details website includes:

Free SSL certificate

• Encrypts all data between guests and your site
• Shows the secure padlock icon
• Required by modern browsers
• Included at no extra cost

What SSL protects:

• Guest RSVP submissions
• Personal information entered
• Login credentials
• All form data

How to verify:

Look for the padlock icon in your browser's address bar. Click it to see certificate details.

Guest Data Protection

We protect your guest information:

Secure storage:

• Data encrypted at rest
• Hosted on secure cloud infrastructure
• Regular security audits
• Access controls and monitoring

What we store:

• Guest names and contact info
• RSVP responses
• Meal preferences
• Any information guests submit

What we never store:

• Full payment card numbers (handled by Stripe)
• Passwords in plain text
• Unnecessary personal data

Password Protection (Optional)

Add an extra layer of privacy:

1. Go to Dashboard > Settings > Privacy
2. Enable Password Protection
3. Set your password
4. Share password with guests (via invitation)

When to use:

• Very private wedding
• Don't want site indexed by search engines
• Limiting access to invited guests only

Note: This adds friction for guests. Most couples don't need it.

Privacy Settings

Control who sees what:

Public (default):

• Anyone with the link can view
• Search engines may index
• Best for most weddings

Unlisted:

• Only people with direct link can access
• Won't appear in search results
• Good balance of access and privacy

Private:

• Password required
• No search engine access
• Maximum privacy

Admin Account Security

Protect your account:

Strong password:

• Use at least 12 characters
• Mix letters, numbers, symbols
• Don't reuse passwords from other sites

Email security:

• Keep your email account secure
• Enable 2FA on your email if available
• Use the email for password recovery

Sharing Information Safely

On your public website:

• Guests can access full details after logging in

Data After Your Wedding

Your options:

• Keep your site active indefinitely

Reporting Security Issues

If you notice something suspicious:

• Contact us immediately at [email protected]

Pro Tip: Use a unique password for your wedding website account. Even if you share the site password with guests, your admin password should be known only to you and your partner.
