Privacy Policy

🔒 Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At Eggs Night Chicken Party, we take your privacy as seriously as a mother hen protects her eggs. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. Don't worry, it's less scary than a fox in a henhouse!

1. 📊 Information We Collect

Information You Provide:

• Contact Information: Name, email address (for sending codewords)
• Party Preferences: Costume size (if ordering), dietary restrictions
• Communication Data: Your hilarious messages and chicken jokes
• Payment Information: Processed securely through third-party providers

Information Automatically Collected:

• Device Information: IP address, browser type (to ensure our site works)
• Usage Data: How many times you click "Get Tickets" (we're flattered)
• Cookies: Small files, not the edible kind (see Cookie Policy below)

2. 🎯 How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Process your ticket requests and send codewords
• Send party reminders (so you don't forget to dress up)
• Improve our events (more eggs, better music)
• Respond to your questions and chicken-related inquiries
• Send newsletters if you opted in (they're clucking hilarious)
• Comply with legal obligations (boring but necessary)

We do NOT:

• Sell your data to foxes (or anyone else)
• Share your embarrassing dance videos without permission
• Use your information for evil chicken experiments

3. 🤝 Who We Share Your Information With

We only share your information with:

• Service Providers: Payment processors, email services (all bound by confidentiality)
• Venue Staff: Only what's needed for entry and safety
• Legal Authorities: Only if required by law (we're law-abiding chickens)
• Party Photographers: Only with your consent (see Terms & Conditions)

We NEVER share your personal data with third-party marketers. Your inbox won't be flooded with random chicken feed advertisements!

4. 🍪 Cookie Policy (Digital, Not Edible)

We use cookies to:

• Essential Cookies: Keep the website functioning (like keeping eggs warm)
• Analytics Cookies: Understand how you use our site (anonymously)
• Preference Cookies: Remember your settings (dark mode for night owls)

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features might not work properly (like a chicken without feathers).

5. 🛡️ How We Protect Your Information

Your data security is important to us. We implement:

• SSL encryption (stronger than an eggshell)
• Secure servers (guarded better than a henhouse)
• Limited access (only trusted chickens)
• Regular security reviews (we check for foxes)
• Password-protected systems (no "chicken123" allowed)

While we take all reasonable precautions, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We recommend not sending sensitive information like your secret chicken dance moves via email.

6. 📍 International Data Transfers

We're based in the UK, but the internet is global (chickens everywhere!):

• Your data is primarily stored in the UK/EU
• Some service providers may be located elsewhere
• All transfers comply with applicable data protection laws
• We ensure adequate protection wherever your data roosts

7. ⏰ How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep your information:

• Contact Details: Until you unsubscribe or request deletion
• Transaction Records: 7 years (tax requirements)
• Photos/Videos: Until you request removal
• Cookie Data: Maximum 1 year
• Chicken Jokes You Send: Forever (they're too good to delete)

8. 👤 Your Rights (You Have Many!)

Under GDPR and UK data protection laws, you have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of your personal data (your chicken file)
• Rectification: Correct any inaccurate information
• Erasure: Request deletion of your data (right to be forgotten)
• Portability: Receive your data in a portable format
• Object: Opt-out of marketing communications
• Restrict: Limit how we process your data

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@acuriousinvitation.com with subject line "Privacy Rights Request" (or "Free the Chicken Data").

9. 👶 Children's Privacy

Eggs Night Chicken Party is an 18+ event. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 (baby chicks must wait until they're grown). If we discover we've accidentally collected data from a minor, we'll delete it faster than you can say "cock-a-doodle-doo"!

10. 🔗 Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to other sites (Facebook, Twitter/X). We're not responsible for their privacy practices. Once you leave our coop, you're in their territory. We recommend reading their privacy policies (though they probably won't be as entertaining as ours).

11. 📱 Social Media

When you interact with us on social media:

• Those platforms have their own privacy policies
• Public posts may be visible to everyone
• We may reshare your awesome chicken costumes (with credit)
• DMs are kept private (your secret codeword requests are safe)

12. 🔄 Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally (when chickens learn new tricks). We'll notify you of significant changes via:

• Email notification
• Website announcement
• Interpretive chicken dance (just kidding)

Continued use of our services after changes means you accept the updated policy.
