Privacy & Security

This Web site is secured with an Extended Validation SSL Certificate.
What does this mean?

We use Extended Validation (EV) SSL, the highest standard in the Internet security industry for Web site authentication, to secure your online transaction with us. EV SSL signifies that our organization has passed a rigorous identity authentication process. The EV SSL Certificate will trigger your browser address to display https:// and if you use a browser released in 2007 or later (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 7) your address bar will turn a noticeable green color. To the right of the address bar, a field will display the name of the organization that owns this Web site and this field will toggle to display VeriSign, the certificate authority that issued this SSL Certificate. When you see your address bar turn green, simply look to the right to see that the owner of this Web site is the organization you intended to visit.

We repect your privacy and will do the utmost to contain that.

All information given to The PartyWorks is used solely for the purpose of completing your order. We do not, at any time, sell any personal information to any outside sources. All delicate information is handled only by our utmost trained and reliable personnel. We will contact you with an email to confirm your order, and another email to advise you we have shipped your order.

We will have to contact you by telephone if your email address doesn't work for us (some free email servers like yahoo or hotmail can be a problem for online stores), or if we have any questions about filling your order. We will also contact you upon your request if you choose to use our Contact Us form to ask a question or inquire about an order.

What Personal Information About Customers Does The PartyWorks Gather?

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at ThePartyWorks.com. Here are the types of information we gather:

• Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping and shipping for you, improving our store, and communicating with you.
  
  
• Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies" and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses ThePartyWorks.com. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
  
  
• Information from Other Sources: We might receive information about you from other sources (like emails or telephone calls) and add it to our account information.

However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of ThePartyWorks.com's coolest features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
