Privacy Policy
Last updated 2 August 2026
Gifted helps families run group gifting for kids' birthday parties. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and the choices you have. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Gifted is operated by Alistair Lamond, a sole trader trading as Gifted (ABN 13 612 003 953)(“Gifted”, “we”, “us”). If anything here is unclear, contact us at hello@gifted.party.
What we collect
The personal information we collect depends on whether you're a host or a guest.
If you host a party, we collect your mobile number and first name when you sign in, and the party details you enter (including the birthday child's first name and age). To receive a payout you also provide your legal name, date of birth, residential address, and bank account details — these go directly to our payments provider, Stripe, and are not stored on Gifted's servers(see “How we protect it”).
If you're a guest, we collect your name, your child's first name, your mobile number, and any note or message you choose to add when you RSVP or contribute.
Photos and videos. Hosts may upload a party photo, and hosts can record a thank-you photo or video after the party. These may include images of children.
Payment information. Card and bank details are collected and processed by Stripe. Gifted receives only a reference to the transaction and the amount — never your full card or bank account number.
Why we collect it and how we use it
- To run the gifting flow — send invites, take RSVPs, collect contributions, and deliver thank-yous.
- To pay hosts, and to meet the identity checks our payments provider requires by law.
- To send transactional SMS (invites, receipts, payout-ready alerts, thank-yous).
- To keep the service secure, prevent misuse, and support you when you ask for help.
We don't sell your personal information, and we don't use it for third-party advertising.
Who we share it with
We share personal information only as needed to run Gifted:
- The party host sees the RSVP, contribution, and note details a guest submits for their party.
- Stripe processes payments and host identity verification.
- Our SMS provider delivers the text messages described above.
- Our hosting and database provider stores the service's data.
- Others where the law requires it, or to protect people's safety.
Overseas disclosure
Some of our providers store or process personal information outside Australia — in particular Stripe, which processes payments and identity data in the United States and other countries. By using Gifted, you consent to this disclosure. We take reasonable steps to ensure these providers protect your information consistently with the APPs.
Children's information
Gifted is designed for parents and adult guests, not for children. We only collect a child's first name and age (and any photo a host chooses to upload) so a party reads naturally. If you believe a child's information has been provided without a parent's consent, contact us and we'll remove it.
How long we keep it
We keep personal information only as long as it's needed. Around 90 days after a party has passed, we automatically de-identify it: guest contact details and free-text notes are scrubbed and all party and thank-you photos and videos are deleted. Records we're required to keep for financial and tax purposes (such as contribution amounts and payment references) are retained without the personal details attached.
How we protect it
- Bank and identity details for payouts are handled by Stripe and are not stored on Gifted's servers.
- Photos and videos are kept in private storage and served only through short-lived, signed links — never a public URL.
- Data is encrypted in transit, and access to personal information is restricted to what each part of the service needs.
Accessing and correcting your information
You can ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it. Hosts can edit their own party and payout details in the app. For anything else, email hello@gifted.party and we'll respond within a reasonable time.
Complaints
If you think we've mishandled your personal information, contact us at hello@gifted.party and we'll work to resolve it. If you're not satisfied, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the “last updated” date above, and for significant changes we'll let you know in the app.
