Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how The Partyware ("we", "us", "our"), operated by [Legal company name], collects, uses and shares personal information when you visit or buy from thepartyware.com (the "Site").

Information we collect

We collect information you give us and information collected automatically:

• Contact and order details: name, email, phone number, billing and shipping address, and order history.
• Payment information: payments are processed by our payment providers (such as Shopify Payments, Shop Pay and PayPal). We do not store full card numbers.
• Account information: if you create an account, your login email and saved addresses.
• Communications: messages you send through our contact form, email or chat, and survey or review responses.
• Device and usage information: IP address, browser, device type, pages viewed, referring site and how you interact with the Site, collected through cookies and similar technologies.

How we use your information

• To process and ship orders, handle returns and provide customer support
• To send order confirmations, shipping updates and service messages
• To send marketing emails if you subscribe — you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email
• To improve the Site, our products and your shopping experience
• To prevent fraud, keep the Site secure and comply with law

Cookies & analytics

We and our service providers use cookies, pixels and similar technologies to keep your cart working, remember preferences, understand Site traffic and measure advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings and the cookie banner, where available. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only with service providers who help us run the store, under contracts that limit their use of it:

• Our ecommerce platform (Shopify) and payment processors
• Shipping carriers and fulfillment partners
• Email marketing, customer-support and form tools (for example, Shopify Forms)
• Analytics and advertising partners (for example, Google and Meta), where you have not opted out
• Authorities, when required by law or to protect our rights

Your US state privacy rights

Depending on where you live — including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas, Oregon and other states with consumer privacy laws — you may have the right to know what personal information we hold, to access, correct or delete it, to receive a copy, and to opt out of “sale”, “sharing” for targeted advertising, or profiling. To use these rights, email info@thepartyware.com. We will verify your request and respond within the time required by law, and we will not discriminate against you for using your rights. You may also use a browser-based Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal to opt out of sharing for targeted advertising.

Email marketing

If you sign up for our emails, we send promotions, new arrivals and party ideas. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and we honor opt-outs promptly in line with the CAN-SPAM Act.

Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Data retention & security

We keep personal information for as long as needed to fulfill orders, meet legal, tax and accounting obligations and resolve disputes. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect it, but no online service can be completely secure.

International visitors

If you visit from outside the United States, your information will be processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. Visitors in the EU, EEA and UK should also read our GDPR Privacy Policy.

Changes & contact

We may update this policy from time to time; the “Last updated” date shows the latest version. Questions or requests: info@thepartyware.com · [Legal company name], [Business mailing address].
