2.0 Information We Collect
2.1 Our methods of collection
We collect information in the following ways:
- Information you give us. For example, many of our services require you to sign up for a Party Ace Account. When you do, we’ll ask for personal information, like your name, email address, telephone number or address to store with your account. If you want to take full advantage of the features we offer, we might also ask you to create a publicly visible Party Ace profile, which may include your name and photo.
- Information we get from your use of our services. We collect information about the services that you use and how you use them, like when you interact with our website and blog content. This information includes:
(1) Device information
We collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model and operating system version).
(2) Log information
When you use our services or view content provided by Party Ace, we automatically collect and store certain information in server logs. This includes:
- details of how you used our service, such as your search queries.
- Internet protocol address.
- device event information, such as crashes, system activity, hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and referral URL.
- cookies that may uniquely identify your browser or your Party Ace
(3) Location information
When you use Party Ace services, we may collect and process information about your actual location. We use various technologies to determine location, including IP address, GPS and other sensors.
(4) Unique application numbers
Certain services include a unique application number. This number and information about your installation (for example, the operating system type and application version number) may be sent to Party Ace when you install or uninstall that service or when that service periodically contacts our servers, such as for automatic updates.
(5) Local storage
We may collect and store information (including personal information) locally on your device using mechanisms such as browser web storage (including HTML 5) and application data caches.
(6) Cookies and similar technologies
We and our partners We collect information on the Party Ace Limited Sites through a variety of technical methods, including cookies and web beacons. Cookies are pieces of information that a Website sends to your computer while you are viewing the Website. Web beacons are small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of the Party Ace Limited Sites. Cookies, web beacons and other technical methods may involve the transmission of information either directly to us or to another party authorised by us to collect information on our behalf. Cookies (including beacons), by themselves, do not provide Party Ace Limited with personally identifiable information unless you choose to voluntarily provide this information to us by, for example, registering on a Party Ace Limited Site. However, once you choose to furnish us with personally identifiable information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie.
We may use the information collected through these technical methods for many purposes, including delivering content, tracking and enhancing our guests' experience on the Party Ace Limited Sites. Many advertisements that appear on the Party Ace Limited Sites are managed and placed on the Party Ace Limited Sites by third parties. These companies are called "network advertisers." Network advertisers who place advertisements on the Party Ace Limited Sites may use cookies and Web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information about your visits to the Party Ace Limited Sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you click on an advertisement on one of the Party Ace Limited Sites and link to a third party's website, then our Privacy Policy will not apply to your personally identifiable information collected on that third party's website and you must read the privacy policy posted on that site to see how your personally identifiable information will be handled.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any personally identifiable information you may disclose publicly in user forums (such as chat rooms or discussion boards). When you voluntarily post information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be collected and used by other people to send unsolicited messages (or 'spam') and marketing materials. Party Ace Limited assumes no responsibility for any action or policies of any third parties who collect information that users disclose on discussion boards or in other public areas of the Party Ace Limited Sites.
2.2 Our blog
Should you choose to add a comment to any posts that we have published on our blog, the name and email address you enter with your comment will be saved to this website’s database, along with your computer’s IP address and the time and date that you submitted the comment. This information is only used to identify you as a contributor to the comment section of the respective blog post and is not passed on to any of the third-party data processors. Only your name will be shown on the public-facing website although if the supplied email address is linked to a Facebook account, your Facebook photo will also be displayed.
Your comment and its associated personal data will remain on this site until we see fit to either: (1) remove the comment or (2) remove the blog post. Should you wish to have the comment and its associated personal data deleted, please email us here using the email address that you commented with.
If you are under 16 years of age you MUST obtain parental consent before posting a comment on our blog.
NOTE: You should avoid entering personally identifiable information to the actual comment field of any blog post comments that you submit on this website.
2.3 Contact forms and email links
Should you choose to contact us using the contact form on our Help & Support page, please be aware that we use a third-party data processor (Zendesk) to manage the service request. Alternatively, you can use an email link like this one in which case none of the data that you supply will be stored by this website or passed to / be processed by any of the third party data processors. Instead, the data will be collated into an email and sent to us over the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Our own SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL) meaning that the email content is encrypted using SHA-2, 256-bit cryptography before being sent across the internet. The email content is then decrypted by our local computers and devices. However, not all mail servers are secured in such a way. Therefore, we would suggest that you always consider email as an insecure medium and not include personal, confidential or otherwise sensitive information within an email.
2.4 Email newsletter
If you choose to join our email newsletter, the email address that you submit to us will be forwarded to MailChimp who provide us with email marketing services. We consider MailChimp to be a third-party data processor. The email address that you submit will not be stored within this website’s own database or in any of our internal computer systems.
Your email address will remain within MailChimp’s database for as long as we continue to use MailChimp’s services for email marketing or until you specifically request removal from the list. You can do this by unsubscribing using the unsubscribe links contained in any email newsletters that we send you or by requesting removal via email. When requesting removal via email, please send your email to us using the email account that is subscribed to the mailing list.
If you are under 16 years of age you MUST obtain parental consent before joining our email newsletter.
While your email address remains within the MailChimp database, you will receive periodic (approximately one per month) newsletter-style emails from us.
3.0 How we use the personally identifiable information
We use the personal information you give us about yourself to deliver information or content you request, to contact you about our programs, products, features, or services, or for other purposes explained at the time we collect the information.

Party Ace Limited may also disclose personally identifiable information to third parties in the following instances:
(1) we are required by law or court order to disclose, or we believe in good faith that the law requires it;

(3) to respond to an inquiry, request or complaint that you have made. We may also use IP addresses in cooperation with Internet service providers to identify users if we deem it necessary to comply with laws, to enforce compliance with the Site Agreement, including the Privacy Policy, or to protect the Party Ace Limited Sites, our sites, customers, or others.
4.0 Transparency and choice
People have different privacy concerns. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect, so that you can make meaningful choices about how it is used. For example, you can:

9.0 Links to other sites
Party Ace Limited may from time to time offer links to other sites from sites within the Party Ace Limited domain. Other sites may also reference, advertise, or link to our sites. However, this does not mean we endorse or sponsor other websites, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such sites. Party Ace Limited expressly disclaims any and all statements or assertions made on such websites, and deny all liability associated with your use of, and the content on, such other sites. You may arrive at one of these sites through clicking on a banner advertisement, as part of a co-branding arrangement, or simply by selecting a link on a Party Ace Limited Site.

We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that whatever information you provide will be maintained in a secure environment. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
