Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-05-15
4Kay Event Pros ("we", "us", "our") operates 4kayevents.com (the "Site") and a marketplace
that connects customers with local event vendors (the "Service"). This Privacy
Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we
share it with, and the rights you have. By using the Service you agree to this
Policy.
1. Information we collect
- Account information: name, email, phone, password hash, role (customer, vendor, admin), and profile details you provide.
- Quote and booking information: event type, date, location (city, ZIP), guest count, budget, and other event details you submit.
- Vendor business information: business name, service area, photos, descriptions, pricing, certifications, and service agreements.
- Payment information: when you pay or get paid, our payment processor (Stripe) collects card and bank details. We never store full card numbers; we receive limited identifiers, status, and amounts.
- Communications: messages you exchange through the Site, email follow-ups, and our chat assistant.
- Automatically collected: IP address, device and browser information, pages viewed, referring URLs, and cookie identifiers (see our Cookie Policy).
2. How we use information
We use personal information to:
- create and operate your account;
- match customers with vendors and route quote requests;
- process payments, deposits, and payouts;
- send transactional, service, and follow-up emails;
- detect, investigate, and prevent fraud or abuse;
- improve the Service, debug issues, and run analytics;
- comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data to train third-party AI models.
3. Sharing
We share personal information with:
- Vendors and customers as needed to deliver the requested service (e.g. a customer's contact and event details are shared with vendors invited to quote).
- Service providers acting on our behalf (hosting, email delivery, analytics, payments). They may only use data to provide the contracted service.
- Legal and safety: when required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights, property, or safety.
- Business transfers: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
4. Your rights (U.S. residents)
Depending on your state of residence (including California — CCPA/CPRA, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and others) you may have the right to:
- request access to the personal information we hold about you;
- request correction or deletion of your personal information;
- request a portable copy of your information;
- opt out of "sale" or "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising — we do not sell or share for advertising;
- limit the use of sensitive personal information;
- not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
To exercise any right, email support@4kayevents.com from the address on your account, or use the Account → Privacy controls in your dashboard. We will respond within 45 days.
5. Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 (COPPA). If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us so we can delete it.
6. Data retention
We retain personal information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Booking, payment, and tax records are retained for at least seven (7) years.
7. Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards including encrypted connections (TLS), encrypted storage, role-based access controls, and audit logging. No system is 100% secure; you use the Service at your own risk.
8. International users
The Service is operated from the United States. By using the Service you consent to processing of your information in the U.S., which may not provide the same protections as your home country.
9. Changes
We will post any changes to this Policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Material changes will be highlighted, and signed-in users will be asked to re-acknowledge.
