Privacy policy

maddison.party (“PartyTime”) is a private website the Maddison family uses to invite friends and family to our parties and to collect RSVPs. It is run by Jonathan Maddison. This page explains what we collect and how text messages work.

What we collect

Only what you or the hosts enter to plan a party: your name, the names of children attending, your email address and mobile number if you give them, your RSVP answer and headcount, allergies or dietary needs, and any message you send us by the website, email or text.

How we use it

Solely to send you invitations, RSVP confirmations, reminders and updates about parties you are invited to, and to answer your replies. The hosts can see your RSVP and messages. We use a small number of service providers to run the site and deliver messages (Cloudflare for hosting, Resend for email, Twilio for text messages) and an AI assistant (Anthropic Claude or Cloudflare Workers AI) to read RSVP replies and draft answers; they process data only to provide these services to us.

We never sell or share your information for marketing. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text-messaging opt-in data and consent are not shared with any third parties.

Text messages (SMS)

Texting is optional and never required to RSVP or attend. You opt in by checking the text box on an RSVP page (or by texting our number yourself). We then send party invitations, RSVP confirmations, reminders, event updates, and replies from our RSVP helper, from our own mobile phones or from (855) 591-9141 (some sent automatically by the helper). Message frequency varies by party, usually a few messages per event. Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. The full text message terms are on their own page.

• Reply STOP at any time to stop all texts. You will get one confirmation and nothing more.
• Reply HELP for help, or email hello@maddison.party.

Email

Every party email has an Unsubscribe link at the bottom (and most mail apps show an Unsubscribe button beside the sender). Unsubscribing stops invitations, reminders and updates to that address for every party; replies to messages you send us still reach you.

Who can see what

Your personal RSVP link is private to your household: anyone you share it with can see and change your reply, so please don't post it publicly. If the hosts turn on “Who's coming”, the party page shows the first names of children (or of guests, for grown-up parties) who have said yes, to anyone with the party link; no surnames, contact details or notes. Pages are served with our own fonts, so your browser doesn't contact other companies just to show them. If a “human check” appears on the form, it's provided by Cloudflare.

Keeping and deleting your information

We keep party details for our family records, like a guest book. When the hosts remove you from a guest list or delete a party, your details and messages are deleted too, unless you're on another of our parties. We keep only a record that you opted out of texts or emails, so we can keep honoring it. To have your information removed sooner, or to ask what we hold about you, email hello@maddison.party and we will take care of it.
