Zola, Inc.

Zola is a comprehensive online platform designed to assist couples with wedding planning, offering a suite of free tools including customizable wedding websites, guest list management, and RSVP tracking. The company's primary service is a universal wedding registry that allows users to register for gifts, experiences, and cash funds all in one place. While its main customers are engaged couples, the platform also collects personal information from their guests. This centralization of sensitive data, such as names, event locations, dates, and gift preferences, creates privacy risks; if a couple's Zola website is not password-protected, this information can become publicly accessible. Such exposure could potentially lead to stalking, identity theft, or targeted scams by malicious actors who could exploit these personal details. To mitigate these risks, individuals should limit the personal information they share and utilize the platform's privacy settings, such as password-protecting their wedding website. Users can also submit requests to access or delete their personal data through the company's privacy center.
