Privacy
The short version: TotBash has no logins, sets no advertising cookies, and never sells your information. Here are the details.

Who runs this site
TotBash is a small independent website about planning children's parties in Australia. You can reach us at hello@totbash.com.
What we collect
Aggregate analytics. We use a privacy-first analytics tool (Cloudflare Web Analytics) to count page views and see which pages and search terms bring people here. It does not use cookies, does not fingerprint your device, and does not build a profile of you. We see totals and trends — for example "480 people read the dinosaur party guide this week" — not individuals.
Server logs. Our host (Azure Static Web Apps) automatically records standard request information such as IP address, time, and the page requested, for security and reliability. We do not mine these logs.
Things you send us. If you email us, we keep that email so we can reply and follow up.
What we do not do
- No accounts, sign-ups or passwords.
- The planning tools (Theme Picker and others) run entirely in your browser. Your answers are not sent to us or saved anywhere.
- No advertising or tracking cookies.
- We do not sell, rent or trade personal information.
Cookies
We do not set any cookies for advertising or tracking. If that ever changes — for example if we add display advertising — we will update this page and show a consent notice first.
Affiliate links
Some guides link to products (party supplies, decorations, craft kits) through affiliate programmes such as Amazon Associates and Australian retail affiliate networks. If you click one of those links and buy something, TotBash may receive a small commission from the retailer. It costs you nothing extra, and it does not influence what we recommend — we suggest what we would actually use.
Pages that contain affiliate links carry a visible note at the top. Affiliate links are marked so search engines don't treat them as endorsements.
The vendor directory
Directory listings link out to each business's own website. We are not a booking service and do not process your enquiry or payment — when you click through, you are dealing directly with that business under their privacy policy, not ours.
Links to other sites
Where we link to other websites, their privacy practices are their own. This policy only covers TotBash.
Children
This site is written for parents and carers, not for children. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Your rights
Under the Australian Privacy Act you can ask what personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct it. In practice the only personal information we would hold is an email you have sent us. Email hello@totbash.com and we will respond within a reasonable time.
Changes
If we change how we handle data we will update this page and change the "last updated" date above.
