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.

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.
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 you take part in a discussion forum or sign up for a service.
