Partybookings is committed to ensure that your privacy is protected. This privacy policy explains how we use the information we collect about you, how you can instruct us if you prefer to limit the use of that information and procedures that we have in place to safeguard your privacy.

When you register for our service, we need to know your name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card details, and booking details.

We gather this information to allow us to process your registration and process any orders you may make and send you confirmations or tickets. Our agents and sub-contractors use the relevant information to provide you with statements of your account. We may also use the information to communicate with you on any matter relating to the conduct of your account and the provision of the services in general. The information will also be passed on to the venues or other party with whom a booking is made.

We may use aggregate information and statistics for the purposes of monitoring website usage in order to help us develop the website and our services and may provide such aggregate information to third parties. These statistics will not include information that can be used to identify any individual.

From time to time, we may provide your information to our own customer service agencies for research and analysis purposes so that we can monitor and improve the services we provide to you. We or our agents and sub-contractors may contact you by post, e-mail, or telephone to ask you for your feedback and comments on our services.

We may also wish to provide you with information about special features of our website or any other service or products we supply which we think may be of interest to you. If you would rather not receive this information, please send a blank e-mail message to sales@partybookings.com. We confirm that as part of our company's policy we do not provide your information to any third parties unconnected to the service we provide to you.

The internet is not a secure medium. However, we have put in place various security procedures as set out in this policy to protect you.

We work with secure data networks protected by both industry-standard firewalls and by passwords. We use security measures in order to guarantee that your details are protected against loss, changes, or misuse. In sensitive areas in particular, such as the transfer of credit card information, we are careful to offer the best possible security standard to protect your details.

When credit card numbers are transmitted, this is done using the very latest encryption techniques in SSL format (Secure Socket Layer). Only selected employees have access to the information you send to us. Those employees who come into contact with your personal details are bound in writing before starting their activities to observe the confidentiality of data. We do everything we possibly can, in organisational and technical terms, to protect your details.

We also keep your information confidential. The internal procedures of Partybookings cover the storage, access, and disclosure of your information.

If this business is sold or integrated with another business, your details may be disclosed to our advisers, any prospective purchasers, and their advisers and will be passed on to the new owners of the business.

If any of the information that you have provided to us changes, for example if you change your e-mail address, postal address, name or payment details or if you wish to cancel your registration, please let us know the correct details by sending an e-mail to enquiry@partybookings.com or by sending a letter to: 57 Greencoat place, London SW1P 1DS.

By submitting your information, you give us the consent to use the information as set out in this policy. If we change our privacy policy, we will post the changes on this page, and may place notices on other pages of the website, so that you may be aware of the information we collect and how we use it at all times. We will also e-mail you should we make any changes so that you may consent to our use of your information in that way. Continued use of the service will signify that you agree to any such changes.

Owing to the global nature of the Internet infrastructure, the information you provide may be transferred in transit to countries outside the European Economic Area that do not have similar protections in place regarding your data and its use as set out in this policy. However, we have taken the steps outlined above to try to improve the security of your information. By submitting your information, you consent to these transfers.

We welcome your views about our website and our privacy policy. If you would like to contact us with any queries or comments please send an e-mail to sales@partybookings.com
