How We Use Your Information
We may use the information you provide to:
• Respond to your submission, inquiry, or invitation
• Contact you about preserving a Love Story

Love Stories, Photos, and Submitted Content
We understand that Love Stories can be deeply personal.
Submitting information through our website allows The Love Story Guy to review your submission and, when appropriate, contact you about preserving a Love Story.
Submitting a Love Story through our website does not automatically give The Love Story Guy permission to publicly publish, broadcast, sell, distribute, or commercially use your complete Love Story.
When permission to record, publish, distribute, or otherwise use a Love Story is appropriate, additional consent or a media release may be requested separately.
Some forms may specifically state that submitted material, such as a definition of love, may be reviewed, shared, or featured by The Love Story Guy. In those situations, the permission described on that particular form will apply to that submission.
When you voluntarily participate in an interview, recording, or other media experience with The Love Story Guy, including interviews conducted at fairs, festivals, community events, or other public or private locations, we may ask you to provide separate permission allowing us to record and use your name, image, likeness, voice, statements, and interview.
The scope of that permission will be explained at the time of the recording and may include use on The Love Story Guy websites, social media channels, videos, promotional materials, documentaries, or other media.
When additional permission or a media release is appropriate, that consent may be obtained separately from any website submission.
Some forms may specifically state that submitted material, such as a definition of love, may be reviewed, shared, or featured by The Love Story Guy. In those situations, the permission described on that particular form will apply to that submission.
Information About Other People
Our website allows you to tell us about someone whose Love Story you believe deserves to be preserved.
Please share only information that is reasonably necessary for us to understand your invitation or request. Providing information about another person does not guarantee that we will contact, interview, record, or feature that individual.
Service Providers
We may use trusted third-party service providers to help operate our website, forms, communications, scheduling, storage, analytics, and other business functions.
These providers may process information on our behalf only as reasonably necessary to provide those services.
Selling Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Cookies and Website Technology
Our website and the services we use to operate it may use cookies and similar technologies. These technologies may help the website function properly, understand how visitors use the website, and improve our services.
Communications
If you submit your contact information, we may contact you regarding your submission, invitation, Love Story, event, or other request.
If you separately consent to receive promotional or marketing communications, you may unsubscribe from those communications using the instructions provided in them.
Data Retention
We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your request, maintain appropriate business records, fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or comply with legal obligations.
Your Choices
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have submitted to us.
Some information may need to be retained when reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes or required by law.
Children's Privacy
Our website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 without appropriate consent from a parent or legal guardian.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through our website. However, no website, electronic communication, or data storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
