may be able to identify you, associate you with your
user account, and contact you. Third parties can also
associate you with your user account using the member

party already knows your full name and you include
information in your submission that allows the third
party to distinguish you from other users who might
share the same full name. Please do not include
information in your submissions that you expect to keep
private. In addition, you can reduce the risk of being
personally identified by choosing a fictitious account
name, though doing so could detract from the credibility
of your submissions. As a registered Weddingbuzz user,
you can modify some of your personal information and
your privacy preferences by accessing the "Account"
section of this website. For example, you may choose not

signing in) and updating your newsletter/notification
settings.
