Privacy Policy and Terms of Use
GiftVibe is founded on the principles of helping you become the
most amazing gifter you were destined to be. Some of the
ways we do this is by helping you discover the gifts
desired by the people in your network, provide and solicit
social recommendations from your network and, by making it
super-easy for you to act on all this knowledge!
We
build products and services that we use ourselves, so
we’re just as concerned about how our personal information
is used and shared, if not more. Below are some highlights
and some boring legalese about the information we may
gather and how it may be used.
Highlights:
- We’ll never disclose your email address or physical address to any third-parties without your explicit permission.
- We may send you email notifications about upcoming events and dates in your network - based on your profile
settings. From time to time, we may send important emails to all our users.
- We gather your profile information and some info on the people in your network who you wish to connect with on GiftVibe.
- We may gather information to make your GiftVibe experience better and more customized and personalized
to your liking in order to make it more useful for you.
- We will never post anything on your behalf, to your social networks without your permission. (But we most
definitely may @tag you in our posts and send you lots of love!)
- Your use of GiftVibe implies your understanding and acceptance of the policies outlined below and in our Terms of Use.
Information we may receive:
Information You Give Us:
- We receive and may store any information you enter on
our Web site or give us in any other way.
- You can choose not to provide certain information, but then
you might not be able to take advantage of many of our
features.
- We use the information that you provide for
such purposes as responding to your requests,
customizing future website experience for you,
improving our digital properties and other points of
contact with you, and communicating with you.
Automatic Information:
- We and/or our authorized entities receive and store
certain types of information whenever you interact
with us. For example,
like many Web sites, we use
"cookies," and we obtain certain types of information
when your Web browser accesses GiftVibe.com or
advertisements and/or other content served by or on behalf of GiftVibe.com on other Web sites.
Mobile:
- When you download or use apps created by GiftVibe or
our subsidiaries or partners acting in the interests
of GiftVibe, we may receive information about your
location and your mobile device, including a unique
identifier for your device. We may use this
information to provide you with location-based
services, such as advertising, relevant promotions,
important news or information, search results, and
other personalized content.
E-mail Communications:
- To help us make emails more useful, relevant and
interesting, we may often receive a confirmation when
you open, click and/or interact with the content
within an e-mail from GiftVibe, if your device
supports such capabilities.
- We may also compare our
customer list to lists received from other companies
and organizations, in an effort to avoid sending
unnecessary or irrelevant messages to our users.
Data:
- You have the right to close your account with GiftVibe. When
you request us to delete your account, all personal
account details and personally identifiable information is
also deleted (complete deletion of your information from
all our backup systems may take up to one month). However,
we may retain anonymized, aggregate-level information
about usage patterns and trends related to user accounts
in order to help improve our service.
How do we protect users’ information.
- Being a privacy- and security-oriented company, we value our
users’ privacy and will try to do everything we can to
prevent any mishandling of our users’ personal
information.
Information that may always be public:
-
Primary attributes of your profile, such as your name, any
profile image(s), gender, city/state etc may be searchable
by search engines and/or other users who may or may not be
logged in to GiftVibe or be directly connected to you.
However, your lists, products you add to those lists, your
preferences and purchases will never be made public by
default.
