By accessing our Site or purchasing our Product, you accept our Privacy
Policy and Terms of Use, and you consent to our collection, storage, use
and disclosure of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy
Policy.
We collect “Non-Personal Information” and “Personal Information.”
Non-Personal Information includes information that cannot be used to
personally identify you, such as anonymous usage data, general demographic
information we may collect, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types,

1. Information collected via Technology. To visit the
Site you do not need to submit any Personal Information. However, the
information provided by your browser or by our software application when
you view or use the Site, such as the website you came from (known as the
“referring URL”), the type of browser you use, the device from which you
connected to the Site, the time and date of access, and other information
that does not personally identify you can potentially be collected and
stored automatically. We track this information using cookies, or small
text files which include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent
to a user’s browser from our servers and are stored on the user’s computer
hard drive. Sending a cookie to a user’s browser enables us to collect
Non-Personal information about that user and keep a record of the user’s
preferences when utilizing our services, both on an individual and
aggregate basis.
2. Information you provide us by purchasing the Product. In
addition to the information provided automatically by your browser when
you visit the Site, to purchase the Product you will need to provide
personal and payment information. By purchasing the Product, you are
authorizing us to collect, store and use your name or alias, email
address, postal address and IP address in accordance with this Privacy
Policy.
3. Children’s Privacy. The Site and the Product are not
directed to anyone under the age of 13. The Site does not knowingly
collect or solicit information from anyone under the age of 13, or allow
anyone under the age of 13 to purchase the Product. In the event that we
learn that we have gathered personal information from anyone under the age
of 13 without the consent of a parent or guardian, we will delete that
information as soon as possible. If you believe we have collected such
information, please contact us at support@giftkarta.com
Personal Information: Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share for marketing purposes your Personal Information with third parties without your consent. We may share Personal Information with vendors who are performing services for the Company, such as the servers for our email communications who are provided access to user’s email address for purposes of sending emails from us. Those vendors use your Personal Information only at our direction and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
In general, the Personal Information you provide to us is used to help us communicate with you. For example, we use Personal Information to contact users in response to questions, solicit feedback from users, provide technical support, and inform users about promotional offers.
We may share Personal Information with outside parties if we have a
good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the
information is reasonably necessary to meet any applicable legal process
or enforceable governmental request; to enforce applicable Terms of Use,
including investigation of potential violations; address fraud, security
or technical concerns; or to protect against harm to the rights, property,
or safety of our users or the public as required or permitted by law.
Non-Personal Information: In general, we use Non-Personal
Information to help us improve the Product and customize the user
experience. We also aggregate Non-Personal Information in order to track
trends and analyze use patterns on the Site. This Privacy Policy does not
limit in any way our use or disclosure of Non-Personal Information and we
reserve the right to use and disclose such Non-Personal Information to our
partners, advertisers and other third parties at our discretion.
In the event we undergo a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your Personal Information may be among the assets transferred. You acknowledge and consent that such transfers may occur and are permitted by this Privacy Policy, and that any acquirer of our assets may continue to process your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If our information practices change at any time in the future, we will post the policy changes to the Site so that you may opt out of the new information practices. We suggest that you check the Site periodically if you are concerned about how your information is used.
We implement security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access by implementing certain technological security measures including encryption, firewalls and secure socket layer technology. However, these measures do not guarantee that your information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software. By using our Site and purchasing the Product, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.
You have the right at any time to prevent us from contacting you for marketing purposes. When we send a promotional communication to a user, the user can opt out of further promotional communications by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in each promotional e-mail. You can also instruct us that you do not wish to receive marketing communications by sending us a request to email address support@giftkarta.com. Please note that notwithstanding the promotional preferences you indicate, we may continue to send you administrative emails including, for example, periodic updates to our Privacy Policy.
As part of the Site, we may provide links to or compatibility with other websites or applications. However, we are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by those websites or the information or content they contain. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us through the Site. Therefore, this Privacy Policy does not apply to your use of a third party website accessed by selecting a link on our Site. To the extent that you access the Site or purchase the Product through or on another website or application, then the privacy policy of that other website or application will apply to your access or use of that site or application.
For example, you can choose to create an online profile by registering through our electronic commerce platform Shopify, in which you will need to enter your email address, and create a username and a password. Collection and storage of Personal Information in this case will be guided by Shopify’s own Privacy Policy. We encourage our users to read the privacy statements of other websites before proceeding to use them.
The Company reserves the right to change this policy and our Terms of Use at any time. We will notify you of significant changes to our Privacy Policy by sending a notice to the primary email address specified in your account or by placing a prominent notice on our site.
