This policy does not apply to information collected through any other website, service or to the practices of companies that Mitzvites does not control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of others or other websites, and we recommend that you read the privacy policies of each website and application that you visit and use.
In order to save or send any invitations through the Service, you must register an account with us (a “User Account”) and become a “Registered User”. You do not need to register for a User Account merely to access the Website and/or view and RSVP and/or respond to an invitation that has been sent to you through the Service. If you do not become a Registered User you can simply visit the Website without registering personal information with us.
We respect the privacy of all Users of the Service, and unless otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use (which together form the “Agreement”); we will not release your non-public, password protected personal information without your permission.
1. Personal Information
“Personal Information” is unique information that identifies you, or any other person, as a distinct and identifiable individual. Personal Information includes information such as your name, email address or telephone number. You can review your non-public, password protected Personal Information that you provide us in your User Account. Please be aware that even after your request for a change is processed, we may, for a time, retain residual information about you in backup and/or archival copies of our database.

We reserve the right to transfer Personal Information to a successor in interest that acquires rights to that information as a result of the sale of the Company or a transfer of all or substantially all of our assets to that successor in interest.
We will not trade, sell, or otherwise commercially disseminate any non-public, confidential Personal Information, except as indicated in this Privacy Policy and/or as part of our business activities, including exchanging credit card information with credit card companies or payment processing companies.
