1. Introduction
HEA Events Chicago ("we," "our," or "us") is a boutique wedding and event planning company based in Chicago, Illinois. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website or contact us, and how we use, share, and protect it.
2. Information We Collect
a) Information you provide directly. When you submit our inquiry form, we collect your first and last name, email address, phone number, and any event details you choose to share: event date, venue or city, a description of what you are envisioning, and how you heard about us.
b) Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit, used for security and basic site operation.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information you share to respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about your event, to prepare for consultations and provide our planning services, and to improve our website and services. We do not use your information for unrelated marketing without your consent.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. Your inquiry details are shared only with HEA Events Chicago. We may share limited information with trusted service providers who help us operate our website (such as our hosting provider), and we will disclose information if required by law.
5. Data Retention
We keep your inquiry information only as long as needed to serve you and operate our business — for example, while we are in conversation about your event and for a reasonable period afterward — then we delete or anonymize it.
6. Cookies
Our website may use basic cookies or similar storage for core functionality and security. We do not use advertising trackers.
7. Your Rights and Choices
You may request to see, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us at amy@heaeventschicago.com. We will respond within a reasonable time.
8. Children's Privacy
Our website and services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
