Privacy Policy

We are committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who uses or lists on Little One's Event Directory. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights under Australian Privacy Law.

Last updated: 1 May 2026

1. Who We Are

Little One's Event Directory is operated under babypartyhire.com, an Australian business providing an online directory and marketing platform connecting parents with baby and toddler event suppliers.

For privacy-related enquiries, contact us at admin@babypartyhire.com.

2. What Information We Collect

We collect personal information in the following circumstances:

From Suppliers (businesses listing on our directory)

  • Business name, ABN, and trading address
  • Contact name, phone number, and email address
  • Billing email address and payment details (processed securely via Square Payments)
  • Business description, photos, and service area information
  • Social media handles and website URLs

From Parents (users making enquiries)

  • Name, email address, and phone number
  • Event details (type, date, location)
  • Message content submitted via supplier enquiry forms

Automatically collected information

  • IP address and general location
  • Browser type and device information
  • Pages visited and time spent on the site (via analytics tools)

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect only for the purposes it was provided, including:

  • Creating and managing supplier listings on the directory
  • Processing billing and subscription payments via Square Payments
  • Forwarding parent enquiries directly to the relevant supplier
  • Sending account-related communications (invoices, listing updates, policy changes)
  • Improving the platform and understanding how it is used
  • Complying with our legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Enquiry Form Data & Direct Contact

When a parent submits an enquiry through a supplier's listing, that enquiry (including the parent's name, email, phone, and message) is delivered directly to the supplier's nominated email address.

Little One's Event Directory is not a party to any resulting communication or transaction between a parent and a supplier. Once an enquiry is forwarded, the supplier's own privacy practices apply to any further handling of that information.

5. Cookies & Analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to understand how visitors use the site and to improve your experience. This may include tools such as Google Analytics.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the site.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services which may process personal data on our behalf:

  • Square Payments — for processing supplier subscription billing. Square's privacy policy governs how payment data is handled.
  • Google Analytics — for aggregated, anonymised website usage data.
  • Email service providers — for delivering transactional emails such as enquiry notifications and invoices.

We only share the minimum information necessary with these providers, and only for the purposes described in this policy.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access. This includes using secure hosting infrastructure and limiting access to personal data to those who need it to operate the platform.

No method of data transmission or storage is completely secure. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately at admin@babypartyhire.com.

8. Your Rights

Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or out of date
  • Request deletion of your personal information, subject to our legal obligations
  • Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) if you believe we have not handled your information appropriately

To exercise any of these rights, email us at admin@babypartyhire.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe, and no later than 30 days.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will notify active suppliers via email. Continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
