1. Overview & Platform Nature
ConfettiCo Parties (“ConfettiCo,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), operating under AltFTool, is dedicated to protecting the privacy and personal information of families, event hosts, and celebration planners. This policy applies to all visitors accessing our birthday party planning portal and related digital resources.
Important Service Disclosure: AltFTool and ConfettiCo are not direct party planners, catering companies, venue operators, or decor providers. We provide an independent information and referral platform. When you explore celebration styles or submit inquiries, our platform assists you in connecting directly with independent local planners, bakers, decorators, and entertainment vendors.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information that you knowingly submit through our forms, as well as standard technical data collected automatically during your visit:
- Contact Information: Your name, email address, phone number, and location when you sign up for newsletter updates, request vendor details, or reach out with inquiries.
- Party Details & Preferences: Guest of honor information (e.g., age milestones, themes such as pastel garden, retro disco, storybook, or intimate dinners), expected guest count, celebration dates, and styling preferences.
- Vendor Category Interests: Service types you interact with (e.g., independent event stylists, custom balloon designers, artisan bakeries, private dining venues, photographers).
- Device & Usage Information: Browser type, operating system, IP address, referral URLs, time stamps, and pages viewed, gathered securely to ensure site stability and performance.
3. How We Use Your Information
We utilize the collected information for specific, transparent purposes:
- To supply celebration guides, vendor category referrals, and party-planning checklists tailored to your preferences.
- To deliver curated birthday inspiration, seasonal decor ideas, and planning tips via email when you opt into our newsletter.
- To help match and introduce you to verified independent planners and vendor partners suited for your party type.

- To fulfill our legal obligations and maintain appropriate corporate records.
6. Data Retention & Security Measures
We employ robust technical safeguards, including HTTPS SSL/TLS encryption, restricted server access controls, and database isolation to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
Inquiry and contact records are retained only for as long as necessary to facilitate vendor referrals, maintain newsletter subscriptions, or comply with statutory retention requirements.
