Terms, Conditioins and Privacy
General
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) is designed to inform you about the type
of information that Giftarium (“we,” “us,” or “our” ) may gather about or collect
from you in connection with your use of this site (this “Site”). It also is intended
to explain the conditions under which we use and disclose that information, and
your rights in relation to that information.
The procedures for modifying or changing this Privacy Policy in the future are discussed
in this document.
Gathering, Use and Disclosure of Non-Personally-Identifying Information
We collect both Non-Personally-Identifying Information and Personally-Identifying Information from you. “Non–Personally–Identifying Information” is information that, without the aid of additional information, cannot be directly associated with a specific person or entity. “Personally–Identifying Information,” by contrast, is information such as a name or email address that, without more, can be directly associated with a specific person or entity.
Gathering Non-Personally-Identifying Information
(i) Web Browsers Like most site operators, we gather Non-Personally-Identifying
Information from you of the sort that web browsers, depending on their settings,
may make available. That information includes your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address,
operating system and browser type, and the locations of the web pages you view right
before arriving at, while navigating and immediately after leaving this Site.
(ii) Web Cookies A “Web Cookie” is a string of information that a site stores on
a computer, and your browser provides to this Site each time you submit a query
to the site. We use Web Cookies to track the pages that you visit during each Site
session, both to help us improve your experience and to help us understand how this
Site is being used. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally
identifiable information you submit while on our site.
IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO HAVE WEB COOKIES PLACED ON YOUR COMPUTER, YOU SHOULD SET YOUR
BROWSER TO REFUSE WEB COOKIES BEFORE ACCESSING THIS SITE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING
THAT CERTAIN FEATURES OF THIS SITE MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT THE AID OF
WEB COOKIES. IF YOU REFUSE WEB COOKIES , YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RESULTING
LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.
Use of Non-Personally-Identifying Information
We analyze Non–Personally–Identifying Information gathered from users of this Site
to help us better understand how this Site is being used. By identifying patterns
and trends in usage, we are able to better design this Site to improve your experiences,
both in terms of content and ease of use.
Disclosure of Non-Personally-Identifying Information
From time to time, we may also release the Non–Personally–Identifying Information
gathered from Site users in the aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends
in the usage of this Site.
Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personally–Identifying Information
As defined above, Personally-Identifying Information is information that can be
directly associated with a specific person or entity. We will only collect Personally-Identifying
Information that you knowingly submit to us. We will not disclose Personally-Identifying
Information to third parties unless we obtain your permission to do so at the time
we collect it, except as set forth below:
Registration and Other Information Provided to Us
In order to have our products sent to you, we request certain personally identifiable
information from you upon placing your order. On the order form you are required
to give contact information (such as name, address and email address). We use this
information to send you products and to communicate with you.
Newsletters
Receiving our newsletter is required as part of the service that we offer. We will
use your name and email address to send the newsletter to you. If you no longer
wish to receive our newsletters you may click on the unsubscribe link located within
each email communication.
Surveys
From time to time, we may also ask you to participate in surveys designed to help
us improve this Site. Any Personally-Identifying Information provided to us in connection
with a survey will be used only in relation to that survey, and will be disclosed
to third parties not bound by this Privacy Policy only in non-personally-identifying,
aggregated form.
Marketing
Unless you opt-out at the point of collection of your Personally-Identifying Information,
we may email you about products and services that we believe may be of interest
to you. Also, we may provide your email information to third parties, so that those
third parties may directly contact you about additional products and services. If
you wish to opt-out of receiving emails from us or from third parties, you may opt-out
at any point by following the instructions at the bottom of each email, or by following
the unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of this page.
Security
The security of your personal information is very important to us.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect any information received
by the Site, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission
over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore,
while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information,
we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
If we decide to change our privacy practices, we will post those changes to this
privacy statement, the home page, and other places we deem appropriate so that you
are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances,
if any, we disclose it.
We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review
it frequently. If we change how we use your personally identifiable information,
we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.
Updating, Correcting or Deleting Personally Identifiable Information
If your personally identifiable information changes, you may correct, or update
it by logging into your account or by emailing our Customer Support at
users@giftarium.com.

If you no longer desire our service, you may delete your personally identifiable
information or opt out of receiving any emails by visiting the unsubscribe page
or emailing support@giftarium.com.
If you no longer desire our service, you may delete your personally identifiable
