Privacy Policy

Introduction

Vendii connects event coordinators, vendors, and event-goers across the United States. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how your data is handled.

This policy applies to all users of the Vendii platform, including event coordinators who publish events, vendors who apply to participate, and event-goers who discover and attend events.

Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of personal information:

Account Information

Full name, email address, phone number, state, and county collected during sign-up and onboarding.

Vendor Business Information

Business name, category, description, logo, product images, website, operating states, and contact details.

Compliance Documents

Health permits, food handler certifications, business licenses, insurance certificates, and other regulatory documents required to operate legally.

Event & Application Data

Event details you publish or apply to, booth assignments, attendance records, and vendor application status.

Payment Information

Transaction records processed through our payment provider. We do not store full card numbers — only limited identifiers and last four digits for display.

Communications & Feedback

Messages between coordinators and vendors, event reviews, vendor ratings, and support requests.

Usage Data

Device information, approximate location, and interaction logs that help us improve the platform.

How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information to:

• Create and manage your account and authenticate your identity.
• Match vendors with relevant events and process vendor applications.
• Verify compliance with state and local regulations for food and event vendors.
• Process payments for event publishing and vendor applications.
• Facilitate communication between coordinators and vendors.
• Display ratings and reviews to build trust in the marketplace.
• Send service notifications, renewal alerts for expiring permits, and important account updates.
• Maintain security, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.
• Improve our features, performance, and user experience.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in these limited circumstances:

• Between users: Coordinators can view vendor profiles and compliance status for events they manage; vendors can view event details for applications they submit.
• Service providers: Payment processors, cloud hosting, and email delivery services that help operate the platform, under appropriate data protection agreements.
• Legal compliance: When required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Vendii, our users, or others.
• Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to the protections of this policy.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. After account deletion, we anonymize linked records (such as past events and applications) and remove personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (for example, financial transaction records).

Compliance documents are retained while a vendor is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to support regulatory audits. Permit expiration alerts help you keep documents current.

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights under GDPR, CCPA, and similar laws:

• Access — request a copy of your personal data.
• Rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure — request deletion of your account and personal data.
• Portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format.
• Opt-out — opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard safeguards including encryption in transit, access controls, row-level data isolation, and audit logging. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data using reasonable technical and organizational measures.

Children's Privacy
