This policy applies to visitors to the public GiftLinke website. If you use the GiftLinke app, seller platform, or another GiftLinke service, an additional privacy notice presented with that service may also apply.
Introduction
GiftLinke, Inc. (“GiftLinke,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining the security of personal information. This Privacy & Security Policy explains how we handle information when you visit giftlinke.com, contact us, or request updates or early access through the website (collectively, the “Website”).
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information you provide
We collect information you choose to provide, such as your email address when you request early access and information included in a message to our support team. Please do not send sensitive personal information unless we specifically request it.
1.2 Information collected automatically
When you use the Website, we and providers working on our behalf may collect technical and usage information, including your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location derived from your IP address, and access dates and times.
1.3 Cookies and similar technologies
We may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the Website, remember preferences, understand performance, and protect against misuse. Browser settings may let you remove or block these technologies, although some Website features may not work as intended.
2. How We Use Information
We may use personal information to:
- provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Website;
- manage early-access requests and send related updates;
- respond to questions, support requests, and other communications;
- understand Website use and performance;
- detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents;
- comply with law and enforce our agreements; and

We may also use aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably identify you.
4. Your Choices and Rights
Email choices
If you request early access or updates, we may email you about GiftLinke. You can unsubscribe from promotional messages using the link in an email or by contacting us. We may still send non-promotional messages needed to respond to or administer your request.
Privacy requests
You may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information you provided through the Website, or withdraw consent where applicable, by emailing privacy@giftlinke.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights, including portability, objection, restriction, or an appeal of a privacy-request decision.
We may verify your identity before completing a request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right. An authorized agent may submit a request where applicable law permits.
5. Security and Retention
5.1 Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5.2 Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including maintaining business and legal records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and protecting the Website. Retention periods vary based on the information and why it was collected.
6. Children’s Privacy
The Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Website. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
7. International Visitors
GiftLinke is based in the United States. If you visit from another country, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries whose data-protection laws may differ from those where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
8. Changes and Contact
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version and revise the effective date above. If required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent.
