Last updated: August 24, 2026

At Thrifty Party Supplies, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website or make a purchase. By using our site, you agree to the practices described below.

We collect information from you when you visit our website, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us. The types of information we may collect include:

Personal Identification Information: Name, email address, phone number, billing address, and shipping address.
Payment Information: Credit/debit card details (processed securely by our payment processor — we do not store full card numbers on our servers).
Order Information: Products purchased, order history, and order notes.
Technical Information: IP address, browser type, device type, and website usage data collected via cookies (see "Cookies" section below).

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To process and fulfill your orders (including payment processing, shipping, and order confirmations).
To communicate with you about your order, respond to inquiries, and provide customer support.
To send you promotional emails, special offers, and updates (only if you have opted in — you may unsubscribe at any time).
To improve our website, products, and overall customer experience.
To prevent fraud and ensure the security of our website and transactions.

Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers: We share information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our business, such as payment processors (for order transactions), shipping carriers (UPS, for order delivery), and email service providers (for sending order confirmations and promotional emails). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us.
Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required by law, to comply with a legal obligation, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Thrifty Party Supplies, our customers, or others.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the new owner, who will be required to honor this Privacy Policy.

Data Security

We take the security of your personal information very seriously. We implement a variety of security measures to protect your data, including:

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our website.
Secure servers and firewalls to protect stored data.
Restricted access to personal information — only authorized personnel who need the information to perform their job duties have access.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Payment Information

All payment transactions are processed through our secure payment gateway. We do not store your full credit card number on our servers. Your payment details are encrypted and handled directly by our trusted payment processor, who complies with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) requirements.
