Privacy Policy

Who We Are
Our website address is: http://mcbridemadeit.com. We are a family-run business committed to protecting your privacy while connecting you with creative custom apparel and memorable event experiences.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments and Inquiries
When visitors leave comments or fill out inquiry/application forms, we collect the data shown in the respective forms, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible with your comment.

Media
If you upload images to the website (e.g., profile photos, event galleries), avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download and extract any location data from images.

Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie has no personal data and is discarded on browser close.

Additional cookies are set during login and when editing or publishing articles—these save login details and display preferences or store the post ID of edited articles. Login cookies last for up to two weeks if “Remember Me” is checked.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles and pages may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from external sites behaves as if you visited the other site, which may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction if you are logged in.

Store Orders, Job Applications, and Contact Forms
