Information We Collect
The information we learn from users helps us not only provide the Service but also to personalize and continually improve each user’s experience with the Service. Here are the types of information we gather:
Information You Give Us
When you create an Account with Gyfthint, we may ask you for personally identifiable information. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”). Personal Information includes, but is not limited to, your name, username, phone number, credit card and other billing information, email address, shipping address, and your friends’ cell phone numbers and email addresses (which we will only use to invite them to use the Service). We may also collect profile information you supply to us regarding your personal preferences and interests, such as your gender, birthday, certain anniversaries or milestones and whether you celebrate certain holidays. You can choose not to provide us with any or all of the information we specify or request, but then you may not be able to register with us or to take advantage of some or all of our features. You can register by logging into your account with certain third party social networking sites (“SNS”) (including Facebook and Twitter) via our Service. If you decide to create your Account by logging into a SNS via the Service, we may extract the Personal Information you have provided to the SNS (such as your “real” name, email address and other information you make publicly available via the SNS) from the account you have with such SNS and use that information to create your Account; the information we extract may depend on the privacy settings you have with the SNS.
Once you’ve created an Account, you can choose to select individual photos of items you would like to add to your shared wishlist (such items, “Gyfthints”) to upload, tag with information including the location where the photo was taken and the Gyfthint’s listed price, and share on Gyfthint per our Terms of Service. When you upload a photo, any associated metadata your camera might have embedded into that photo, such as the date taken or place taken, may be uploaded as well. You will also provide us with as much detail as you can about each Gyfthint, such as brand and store location, which information is used by us solely to help us provide the Service and is not shared with your contacts. Your contacts will only see the price and photo of each Gyfthint.
Automatic Information
Like many other applications, we also collect information through cookies and other automated means. Information of this sort includes:
Technical information about your browser and mobile device: This information is used in the aggregate to help us optimize the Service for common browsers and devices.
Usage information, such as the pages you request, searches you conduct and the features and emails from Gyfthint that you interact with: This information is used in an aggregate form to generate statistics about how the Service is being used and to target communications but is never shared in any form that could be reasonably used to identify you personally.
IP address, cookies, tokens and device identifiers: These are alphanumeric identifiers that help us to distinguish between unique browsers and devices in order to avoid showing you the same information twice, keep you logged into Gyfthint, prevent duplicate actions, prevent duplicate coupon redemptions and improve your experience. The information we collect from cookies may include your IP address, browser and device characteristics, referring URLs, and a record of your interactions with our Service. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our Service may not work properly for you if you do so. We will not allow third parties to place cookies on our Service.
Crashes and error reports: If you encounter a crash or error while using our Service, we may generate a crash report that includes technical, usage and, if you are logged in, your Account information so that we can diagnose and potentially prevent the problem in the future.
Third Party Information
We may receive information from third parties such as public demographic information to help analyze the use of our services and expand our offering.
User Content
Any profile information you post on this Service may be read, collected, and used by us and others who access this Service. You should only upload profile information if you are comfortable with these terms.
How We Use and Share the Information We Collect
Use
We use the information we collect for things like:
- Providing the Service and communicating with you
- Conducting research and analysis
- Establishing and managing your Account with us and tailoring information and offers to you based on your interactions with our Service
- Operating, evaluating and improving our business
Data Retention
We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Share
Gyfthint does not sell, rent or trade your Personal Information to third parties except as necessary to perform the Service or unless it is shared profile information, as described above. In the normal course of business Gyfthint shares Personal Information with individuals (such as employees, contractors and lawyers) and companies (such as consultants and service providers such as a push notification delivery service) to perform tasks on our behalf and may need to share certain information with them in order to provide products or services to you. However, our agents do not have any right to use Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us in providing the service to you as described in this Privacy Policy. For example, we may share your name and shipping information with the vendors from whom we are purchasing a gift on your or your contact’ behalf, to enable the vendor to identify you and ship the purchased gifts. While we encourage vendors to treat your personal information with the same level of care as we do, we cannot be responsible for the use by such vendors of your personal information. We also transfer your financial information (such as valid credit card number, type, expiration date or other financial information) directly to our third party payment processing company, whose terms of service and privacy policy shall govern treatment of such information.
While we may provide aggregate usage and demographic information to service partners to help improve the service, we never provide your Personal Information to partners directly except as described above to fulfill a purchase on the Service, nor do we otherwise disclose aggregate information to partners in a manner that would identify you personally. We encourage our service partners to adopt and post privacy policies as well. However, the use of this aggregate information by our service partners, as well as any Personal Information you directly provide to partners or advertisers, is governed by the privacy policies of those service partners and is not subject to our control.
Sometimes we may be required to share personal information in response to a regulation, court order or subpoena. We may also share information when we believe it’s necessary to comply with the law. We also may share information to respond to a government request or when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property or safety of Gyfthint, our customers, or others; to prevent harm or loss; or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual unlawful activity.
We may also share personal information in the event of a corporate sale, merger, acquisition, dissolution or similar event.
How We Protect the Information We Collect
Gyfthint uses reasonable security measures to protect the confidentiality of personal information under our control and appropriately limit access to it. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
We use a variety of information security measures to protect your online transactions with us. The Service uses encryption technology, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), to protect your personal information during data transport. SSL protects information you submit via our Service such as ordering information including your name, address and credit card number. We will notify you by email if we have reason to believe that your Personal Information has been compromised due to a security breach or used in an unauthorized manner, but by using this Service, you agree to release us from any and all claims arising out of unauthorized use of your information.
