Privacy Policy

PartyOriginals.com and Party People, LLC created this privacy statement to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website: PartyOriginals.com.

What personally identifiable information does Party Originals, a Party People, LLC website, collect from me?
PARTY ORIGINALS collects information in several ways from different parts of our web site. Some personal information is gathered when you register. During registration, PARTY ORIGINALS asks for your name, email address, and other personal information. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to customize your experience. Once you register you are no longer anonymous to PARTY ORIGINALS - you are given a PARTY ORIGINALS ID and are able to take full advantage of PARTY ORIGINALS current and future offerings. In addition to registration we may ask you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to) when you make a purchase, when you sign-up for any communications or when you enter a sweepstakes, contest or promotion sponsored by PARTY ORIGINALS and/or our partners; and when you report a problem with our site or services. If you contact PARTY ORIGINALS we may keep a record of that correspondence. PARTY ORIGINALS also occasionally asks users to complete surveys that we use for internal research. Wherever PARTY ORIGINALS collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.

What are cookies and how does PARTY ORIGINALS use them?
As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services, PARTY ORIGINALS uses cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. All places on PARTY ORIGINALS where you are prompted to login or that are customizable require that you accept cookies. (See "What are my choices regarding collection, use and distribution of my information?" for more information on cookies.) Generally, we use cookies to: (1) Remind us of who you are and to access your account information (stored on our computers) in order to deliver to you a better and more personalized service. This cookie is set when you register or "Sign In" and is modified when you "Sign Out" of our services. (2) Estimate our audience size. Each browser accessing PARTY ORIGINALS is given a unique cookie which is then used to determine the extent of repeat usage, usage by a registered user versus by an unregistered user, and to help target Contact Us for Advertisings based on user interests and behavior. (4) Measure certain traffic patterns, which areas of PARTY ORIGINALS site you have visited, and your visiting patterns in the aggregate. We use this research to understand how our users' habits are similar or different from one another so that we can make each new experience on PARTY ORIGINALS a better one. We may use this information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you and other users will see on our sites. Advertising networks and/or individual advertisers that serve ads onto PARTY ORIGINALS may also use their own cookies. PARTY ORIGINALS also collects IP addresses for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. In addition, PARTY ORIGINALS Mail includes IP addresses in outgoing mail message headers.

How does PARTY ORIGINALS use my information?
PARTY ORIGINALS primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience on site. This includes personalization services, interactive communications, and many other types of services, most of which are completely free to you. By knowing a little about you, PARTY ORIGINALS is able to deliver more relevant Contact Us for Advertisings and content, and thus better service to you. To deliver targeted Contact Us for Advertisings to site visitors PARTY ORIGINALS may sell Contact Us for Advertisings directly or feature Contact Us for Advertisings from an advertising network. In either case Advertisers give us an Contact Us for Advertising and tell us the type of audience they want to reach (for example, females 25 to 50-years-old). PARTY ORIGINALS takes the Contact Us for Advertising and displays it to users meeting those criteria. In this process, the advertiser never has access to individual account information. Only PARTY ORIGINALS has access to individuals' accounts. This kind of Contact Us for Advertising targeting is done with banner ads as well as promotional email PARTY ORIGINALS sends directly or delivers for a Partner.

When you are on PARTY ORIGINALS site and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with PARTY ORIGINALS alone.

Promotions that run on PARTY ORIGINALS may be sponsored by companies other than PARTY ORIGINALS or may be co-sponsored by PARTY ORIGINALS and another company. Some or all data collected during a promotion may be shared with the sponsor. If data will be shared, you will be notified prior to the time of data collection or transfer. You can decide not to participate in the promotion if you don't want your data to be shared. All PARTY ORIGINALS promotions are limited to US residents.

This privacy statement does not cover the information practices of those web sites linked to PARTY ORIGINALS.

PARTY ORIGINALS will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. Also remember to sign out of your PARTY ORIGINALS account by quitting the browser application when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, PARTY ORIGINALS cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

What else should I know about my privacy?
Remember that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on message boards, through email, or in chat areas - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
