Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about what Nuptia does — and what we intentionally choose not to do.

Privacy, Data & Security

Does Nuptia store my personal photos or sensitive private data on server databases?

No. Nuptia is built local-first and privacy-first. Your wedding planning data — checklists, budgets, guest lists, seating charts, and notes — is stored on your device and synced securely across your Apple devices using Apple's CloudKit/iCloud. We do not store your private photos or build behavioral profiles on central databases. Any inspiration images you share with the AI Concierge are processed in real-time to assist you and are not retained to train public AI models.

Do you sell my data to wedding vendors or run third-party advertising trackers?

Never. We do not sell data to advertisers, wedding venues, or third-party brokers, nor do we run third-party analytics trackers. You will never receive unsolicited sales pitches or targeted vendor emails as a result of using Nuptia.

Is my guest list private when guests RSVP on our website?

Yes. Privacy is built directly into our RSVP architecture. Each guest is issued a unique, unguessable personal link so they can view and respond only to their own invitation (and their own table or dietary options if shared). Nuptia never publishes or exposes your full guest list, and guests cannot view or search for other attendees on the website.

Payments & Financial Security

Does Nuptia handle credit card processing or vendor payment deposits?

No. Nuptia is not a payment gateway or banking platform. We never collect, store, or touch your credit card or financial account numbers. All app purchases and subscriptions are handled 100% securely through Apple's standard App Store / Mac App Store billing. For your wedding vendors, you pay them directly through the payment methods you agree upon together.

Vendor Interactions & Bookings

Can Nuptia automatically book a venue, photographer, or caterer on my behalf?

No. We believe binding contracts and payments should always remain squarely in your control. Nuptia cannot sign agreements, place deposits, or book venues directly.

How does Nuptia help with vendors if it cannot book them directly?

While Nuptia does not send binding bookings, the AI Concierge will draft customized inquiry emails, outreach messages, or phone scripts tailored to your specific budget, guest count, style, and availability date. You can review, tweak, and send these messages to vendors in one tap via your preferred email client or messaging app.

App Philosophy & Respecting Your Time

Will Nuptia push urgent notifications, daily streaks, or high-pressure countdowns?

No. Nuptia is created by calmdownoscar, an independent studio guided by one core thesis: take a stressful moment and make it calm. We explicitly ban engagement-maximizing patterns — no daily streaks, no artificial countdown panics, and no notification spam. Our success metric is simple: you finish what you came to do and put your phone down.

Do my wedding guests need to download an app to RSVP or view details?

No. Your guests access your RSVP page and shared photo album through a standard web link on any browser (mobile or desktop). They can view their assigned table, meal selection, and schedule without downloading an app or creating an account.

Inspiration & Photography

How does Nuptia's inspiration search work, and is Unsplash free to use?

Nuptia integrates directly with Unsplash, the world's premier community for high-resolution, royalty-free photography. Browsing, searching, and saving wedding inspiration — from floral arrangements and gown silhouettes to tablescapes, venues, and ring styles — is 100% free for all Nuptia users.

When you describe a vision to the AI Concierge, it translates your aesthetic into refined imagery queries while respecting photographer attribution. We're proud to showcase the work of Unsplash's global network of talented photographers to help spark your wedding creativity.

Platform & Data Portability

Which platforms is Nuptia available on?

Nuptia is available now on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac — your planning state stays seamlessly in sync across all your devices via iCloud.

Can I export my data to share with a wedding planner or spreadsheet?

Yes. Your data belongs to you. You can export your guest list, seating chart layout, budget breakdown, and timeline whenever you need to.
