Who we are

Free Wedding Calculator is the site at freeweddingcalculator.com. It is an independent budget tool. Contact hello@freeweddingcalculator.com for privacy requests.

The calculator itself

The budget you type is saved in this browser so a refresh keeps it. That copy stays on your device. We do not require an account, and we do not write the line items to our database unless you download the spreadsheet. You can read the full total, the cost per guest, and every category without an email.

Email and the spreadsheet

The Excel download asks for an email address and a separate, unchecked checkbox. Checking it is consent to join a weekly wedding-planning newsletter. If you do not check it, we do not store the address and we do not create the file. The budget on the page does not depend on that choice.

When you consent, we store:

• your email address
• the time you consented, in UTC (consented_at)
• the source, which is the spreadsheet download
• optional budget details: country, state and city when you are in the United States, guest count, estimated total, style, and season

We do not store the itemized budget, and we do not store your IP address in the newsletter list. Hosting logs may briefly include an IP address as part of running the site. Those logs are not used for the newsletter.

How the email is used

The address is used only to send the weekly newsletter and to honor unsubscribe or deletion requests. It is not sold, rented, or traded. It is not shared with wedding vendors for their own marketing. When the newsletter connection is turned on, Beehiiv sends that mail for us. We pass your address to Beehiiv only after you check the consent box, and Beehiiv may not use the list for its own purposes.

To unsubscribe or ask for a copy or deletion, email unsubscribe@freeweddingcalculator.com from the address you used. A one-click unsubscribe link will be added to the newsletter once sending is connected. We keep the record until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.

Advertising

The site may show Google AdSense ads so the calculator can stay free. Ad slots are hidden unless a publisher ID is configured. When ads are on, Google may set cookies or similar identifiers to show and measure them. That is described in Google’s advertising policy. We do not sell the ad data. When ads are off, the page does not load the AdSense script.

Legal bases and your choices

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or a similar jurisdiction, the newsletter is sent on the basis of the consent you give in the checkbox. You can withdraw it at any time. Access, correction, deletion, and a complaint to your data protection authority are available. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. The site is aimed at adults planning a wedding.

Where the site runs

The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Newsletter records are stored in a database tied to this project (Cloudflare D1 in production). Transfers may happen as part of that hosting. We keep the stored fields limited to the list above.
