If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected the personal information of a child, or if a parent or guardian of a child contacts us at the email address or phone number listed at the end of this Privacy Policy to so notify us, we will then destroy or de-identify the personal information or sensitive information of the in question child from our records.
Links to Other Websites
PartyLite may from time to time provide links to other affiliate websites. Please check the privacy policy of each of these other websites as they may differ from the PartyLite’s Privacy Policy.
Security
We implement and maintain processes and security measures to protect personal information we hold from misuse, interference or loss, and from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure.
All personal information that you have specified during the shopping process will be transmitted to us encrypted from your computer. We use the proven encryption system, SSL (Secure Socket Layer). This widespread system for protection of online purchases guarantees the highest possible security not only of your order data, but also, for example, the account or credit card number used.
PartyLite uses reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect and safeguard the order and business and personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, unauthorized transmission, and destruction.
Procedures for the regular review and evaluation of the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures have been established. However, no information system can be fully secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information. Moreover, we are not responsible for the security of information you transmit to the Site over networks that we do not control, including the Internet and wireless networks. You provide us with any information and data at your own risk.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, PartyLite shall not be liable or otherwise responsible for any data incidents that may compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or security of your personal information. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a user ID and password to access the Site, you are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of those log-on credentials and not revealing them to others. You must contact us immediately if you have reason to believe that your user ID or password to our Site have been compromised
Not all personal information collected on this website will be saved. Personal information that is stored is encrypted, and all systems connected to the Internet are equipped with firewalls that are regularly monitored to ensure a high level of security.
Your Privacy Rights
We may transfer your personal information to overseas locations at third-party data centres in New Jersey, USA and at Amazon Web Services for purposes described in this Privacy Policy. If we do so, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient deals with your information in accordance with Australian privacy laws or an equivalent binding regime.
If you have concerns about the use of your information or want to be deleted from our email list, please contact us.
Retention of Personal Information
We will keep your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes of the processing for which it was collected (typically the length of the contract). We may, however, keep your information for a longer period of time in accordance with specific legal or regulatory provisions and/or to comply with applicable statute of limitations periods. We will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify your information once it is no longer required for these purposes.
