Who sees my invitation? Draft, links, moments, memory page
A draft is private. A published invitation opens with a link, is not indexed by Google and shows each household only its own moments. Plus the memory page.

On this page
An invitation contains information that is meant only for your guests. Here, in plain terms, is who can see it and what Tov does so that no one else gets in.
A draft is private
As long as you have not published, your guests see nothing: anyone who opens the address lands on a “not found” page. The same goes for a published invitation with no real date. Only you, and your collaborators, see it from your space, with the preview.
A published invitation opens with a link
- A household’s personal link is signed by Tov: it cannot be guessed. It opens the invitation with that household’s moments only.
- The general link (the invitation’s address) shows the “Everyone” moments. A “By invitation” moment is never sent to the browser of someone who is not invited to it.
- Invitation pages carry a “do not index” instruction: they are not meant to appear in Google. They are not kept in a shared cache either.
- A forwarded personal link replies in the name of the original household: do not post it in a group.
Who sees what in your space
The event’s owner can do everything. An editor prepares the invitation, manages the guests, sends on WhatsApp and can export the replies; they cannot delete the event, archive it, change its privacy, or invite another editor. A viewer changes nothing and sees the celebration’s numbers (how many are coming, how many glatt, how many allergies), without the guests’ names or contact details. If you tick “Can see details” for a specific viewer (a caterer, for example), they also see the replies one by one and can export them. No viewer can get a household’s personal link.
A viewer you open the details to can export the replies, including the dietary requirements (kashrut) and allergies your guests have given. Only open the details to people you trust.
The memory page
Tov offers a memory page for the event, linked from the invitation once the event has passed. It is private by default for events created since October 1, 2026 (older events keep their setting): until you publish it, its address shows a “not found” page. Once published, it shows overall numbers (how many guests came, reply rate) and approved photos. The messages guests leave do not appear on it. It never shows individual replies, emails or phone numbers, and it asks search engines not to index it.
If you publish it and later prefer not to show it, hide it again: the setting is on the memory page in “Follow up” (“Memory page published” / “Memory page hidden”). Once hidden, its address shows a “not found” page.
Photos
The album photos in the “Notre histoire” design are the ones you chose: they are served only to an accessible invitation, never in modesty mode, and are not indexed. Guests do not upload any photos.

Your data in plain words: what Tov keeps, who sees it, exporting and deleting
What Tov records, who receives it, what you can export and what deleting an event or an account really removes. With no promise it cannot keep.
- Step by step
Personal links: what they are, forwarding, and groups
Each household has its own link: what it opens, how to find it, why it shouldn’t be posted in a WhatsApp group, and what isn’t possible (yet).

The moments of your celebration, and who sees them
A moment is one part of the celebration with its own day, time, place, and audience: “All guests” or “Selected guests”. How to choose them and who sees what.
