Personal Information You Provide
Automatically Collected Information
Our platform automatically collects certain technical information to improve your experience and ensure our services function properly.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our event budget planning services. Your data helps us create a more personalised and effective experience.
We may also use aggregated, de-identified data to develop new features and understand how our services are used across different regions and event types. This helps us better serve the Australian event planning community.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We take your privacy seriously and limit how we share your personal information. We never sell your data to third parties for marketing purposes.

We work with trusted third-party companies to help deliver our services:
Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information when required by Australian law or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public.
Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. You would be notified of any such change via email or prominent notice on our platform.
Your Privacy Rights
Under Australian privacy law, you have several rights regarding your personal information. We're committed to helping you exercise these rights easily and effectively.
