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.

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.

or not.
PartyPlans.com.au 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 PartyPlans.com.au
collects is personal information. PartyPlans.com.au
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, PartyPlans.com.au
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 PartyPlans.com.au is completely
up to you. The only way we know something about you
personally is if you provide it to us, for example when
