Who We Are & Purpose of the Website

VEKA Wedding is a bridal atelier dedicated to creating bespoke, handcrafted wedding gowns. This website (vekawedding.com) serves as the official digital showcase for our collections, silhouette presentations, craftsmanship stories, and appointment bookings for prospective brides.

We respect the privacy of every visitor and maintain a transparent approach regarding what data we receive and how it is processed.

Information We Collect

We only collect information necessary to provide you with tailored bridal consultations and ensure smooth operation of our website:

• Fitting & Consultation Requests: Bride's name, telephone number (including WhatsApp where preferred), email address, selected gown designs or collections, and preferred fitting appointment dates.
• Contact Inquiries: Name, email address, and message content submitted through our online contact form.
• Technical & Log Information: Anonymized technical metrics (IP address, browser type, screen resolution, locale) and essential cookies required for website rendering and security.

Purposes of Processing

Your personal data is processed strictly for the following purposes:

• Scheduling, coordinating, and confirming bridal fitting appointments at our atelier.
• Providing tailored advice on dress silhouettes, custom alterations, and collection availability.
• Maintaining website security, diagnosing system errors, and preventing fraudulent activity.
• Analyzing aggregated, anonymous performance metrics (subject to your consent).

Legal Bases for Processing

We process personal data based on:

• Your consent, granted when submitting a fitting request or contacting our team.
• Pre-contractual steps taken at your request (booking a consultation or tailoring inquiry).
• Our legitimate interest in maintaining a secure, performant, and reliable website.

Data Processors & Service Providers

VEKA Wedding never sells, rents, or monetizes personal data. We collaborate with trusted technical infrastructure providers acting as data processors under strict confidentiality obligations:

• Hosting & Edge Network: Vercel Inc. for secure content delivery and serverless execution.

Data Retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was gathered. Fitting inquiries and correspondence are kept for the duration of the bridal consultation and tailoring lifecycle, after which records are archived or safely deleted. Server security logs are automatically flushed after short retention cycles (typically 30–90 days).
