Marketing

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties for marketing purposes without explicit consent. We may combine personal information with information we collect from other companies and use it to improve and personalize our services, content and advertising. If you don't wish to receive marketing communications from us, indicate your preference by following the directions provided with the communication or advertisement.

Use

Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to allow you to interact with the service and engage in transactions through the service. You agree that we may use your personal information for any of the following reasons, or as otherwise expressly permitted by you or by applicable law:

•         Provide the services and requested customer support;

•         Resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems;

•         Prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and enforce our Terms and Conditions;

•         Customize and personalize, measure and improve our services, content and advertising;

•         Tell consumer users about our services and those of our corporate family, targeted marketing, service updates, and promotional offers based on personal communication preferences;

•         Share information with our vendors and subcontractors, provided that they are only allowed to use the information in connection with the performance of services for us and for no other purpose;

•         Transfer the information in connection with a merger, sale or reorganization of this site, WILopEN Products or the division responsible for the services provided to you; and

•         Compare information for accuracy, and verify it with third parties.

Our Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements, enforce our policies, respond to claims that a listing or other content violates the rights of others, or protect anyone's rights, property, or safety.

Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect privacy and our ability to keep our sites safe, we will not otherwise disclose personal information to law enforcement, other government officials, or other third parties without a subpoena, court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss or to report suspected illegal activity.

 

Cookies

We use "cookies" (small files placed on your hard drive) on certain of our pages to help analyze web page flow, customize services for content and advertising, and to measure effectiveness of the site.

A few important things to know about cookies are that:

•         Certain website features are available only through the use of cookies.

•         We use cookies to help identify users and maintain signed-in status.

•         Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are automatically deleted from a user’s hard drive at the end of a session.

•         Users are always free to decline cookies if the browser permits that function, although doing so may interfere with use of some of our sites or services.

•         Users may encounter cookies from third parties on certain pages of the sites that we do not control. (For example, if you view a web page with an advertisement, there may be a cookie placed by that web page.)

No Spam, Spyware or Spoofing

We do not tolerate spam. Make sure to set system notification preferences so we communicate to you as you prefer. Users may not use our communication tools to send spam or otherwise send content that would violate our Terms and Conditions. We automatically scan and may manually filter messages to check for spam, viruses, phishing attacks and other malicious activity or illegal or prohibited content, but we do not permanently store messages sent through these tools. We do not rent or sell email addresses.

Account Protection

A user’s password is the key to personal accounts. Use unique numbers, letters and special characters, and do not disclose your password to anyone. If you do share your password or personal information with others, remember that you are responsible for all actions taken in the name of your account. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personal information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately notify www.GiftE.com and change your password.

 

 

Accessing, Reviewing and Changing Personal Information

Users can see, review and change most personal information by signing on to www.GiftE.com. It is your responsibility to promptly update personal information if it changes or is inaccurate. Upon individual request, we will close an account and remove personal information from view as soon as reasonably possible, based on account activity and in accordance with applicable law. We do retain personal information from closed accounts to comply with law, prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our policies and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.

Security

Your information may be stored on our servers. We treat data as an asset that must be protected and use several tools (encryption, passwords, physical security, etc.) to protect personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, as is commonly known, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions of private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse personal information that they collect from the site. Therefore, although we work to protect user privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will remain private.

If you access our sites from a shared computer or a computer in an internet café, certain information about you, such as your User ID, activity or reminders may also be visible to other individuals who use the computer after you.  It is your responsibility to protect your information.

Changes to policy; Opt-Out Process:  

We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions from this policy at any time.  However, if at any time in the future we plan to use personal information in a way that differs from this policy, we will post such changes here and provide you the opportunity to opt-out of such differing uses.  Your continued use of the Service following the posting of any changes to this policy means you accept such changes. 

All unsubscribe or opt-out requests should be sent to us at unsubscribe@gifte.com and we will process your request within a reasonable time after receipt. We are not responsible for removing your personal information from the lists of any third party who has previously been provided your information in accordance with this policy, such as a merchant.

 

Third Parties

We do not control the privacy policies of third parties, and users are subject to the privacy policies of third parties where applicable. We encourage you to ask questions before disclosing personal information to others.

 

Communications with Company:

 

By providing your email address to us, you expressly consent to receive emails from us.  We may use email to communicate with you, to send information that you have requested or to send information about other products or services developed or provided by us or our business partners.

 

Any communication or material you transmit to us by email or otherwise, including any data, questions, comments, suggestions, or the like is, and will be treated as, non-confidential and nonproprietary.  Except to the extent expressly covered by this policy, anything you transmit or post may be used by us for any purpose, including but not limited to, reproduction, disclosure, transmission, publication, broadcast and posting. Furthermore, you expressly agree that we are free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any communication you send to us without compensation and for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to, developing, manufacturing and marketing products and services using such information.
