General
PartyPlan.com is strongly committed to protecting your privacy
while interacting with our content, products and services.
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to tell you what kind of information
we may gather about you when you visit our site, how we may use that information,
whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use
of, and your ability to correct this information. Our policy allows you to choose
what kind and how much information you provide to us and to control how we use
whatever information you give us. Our goal is to provide you with a satisfying
experience while allowing you to control your privacy and to give you a means
to voice any questions or concerns you may have.
This policy applies only to PartyPlan.com and not to other companies'
or organisations' websites to which PartyPlan.com is linked.
Collection of information
Information is collected from you primarily to make it easier and more rewarding
for you to use our services. Depending on the service you are accessing, you
could be asked to provide information such as your name, email address or information
about what you do. It is entirely your choice whether you wish to access the
service and respond to these questions or not.
PartyPlan.com collects two types of information. The first type
is anonymous information. For instance, we may collect information to tell us
how many people accesed the site today, but we do not know their names or email
address as they are 'anonymous'. This information is collected for research
purposes, is used in the aggregate (where possible), and remains anonymous.
The second type of information that PartyPlan.com collects is
personal information. PartyPlan.com will collect personal information
that lets us know the specifics of who you are such as your name, email address,
or postal address, only when you provide it to us. With this information,
PartyPlan.com can provide a variety of personalised and enhanced
services that are not available to anonymous users. We hope that you will find
it beneficial to provide individually identifiable information about yourself
to us because it will make our services more valuable to you.
Sometimes, we may specifically ask for personal information about you when
you sign up to use a service. Certain information may be required, such as your
name, email address, billing address, credit card number, in order to provide
that service or product to you. This information may also be used to inform
you of additional products and services which may interest you. You can choose
not to receive such information when you are undertaking product or service
registration on our website.
How much of your personal information that you choose to disclose to PartyPlan.com
is completely up to you. The only way we know something about you personally
is if you provide it to us, for example when you take part in a discussion forum
or sign up for a service.

the use of PartyPlan.com like the numbers and frequency of visitors

the site, so we can improve PartyPlan.com to assure that it is as appealing
as we can make it for as many users as possible. PartyPlan.com may
publish or provide this aggregate data to other people.

IP address to determine what country you are in and to deliver relevant site
content for your country.
