How Does Giftfuse Use My Information?
We use the information we’ve gathered from you, including through Cookies and web beacons, for the following purposes:

To Communicate with You
We use information gathered on the Website to personalize communication with you, and to respond to your requests for products, services, and information. You can unsubscribe to advertising emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link within the email, or by contacting us as [email protected]. Please note that, even if you unsubscribe from advertising emails, we will still send you any necessary, non-promotional emails about your account or updates to our privacy policy and terms.

To Improve the Website
Giftfuse uses the information we collect from you and other users to provide and improve the Website.

To Advertise to You
We use information gathered through Cookies and web beacons, including those placed by Third Parties, to deliver ads to you via the Website, and after you’ve left the Website, including advertising specific to your personal interests. The purpose of this practice, which is sometimes called “Personalized Ads,” “retargeting,” or “remarketing” is to deliver content and advertising that is of interest to you, and to avoid displaying irrelevant advertising to you. For example, if you look at a particular shirt for sale online, you may later see that same shirt advertised to you on Facebook and then again on Giftfuse.

How Does Giftfuse Share My Information?
To Our Affiliated Companies
We may disclose, transfer, and sell your information to our affiliated entities—that is, businesses that have common ownership with us—at our discretion, in which event, your information shall be treated by the affiliated entities in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Should Giftfuse be subject to an acquisition, merger, sale or other change of control or business entity status, we reserve the right to transfer or assign your information as part of that acquisition, merger or sale.

To Our Third-Party Partners
We may disclose your personal information as needed to our Third-Party service providers and advertising partners. For example, we may share your email address with our email fulfillment provider. However, we will never sell your personal or non-personal data to any Third-Party.

To Comply with Legal Process and Prevent Harm
We may disclose your information to respond to subpoenas, court orders, and other legal processes. In rare circumstances, we may disclose personal information when we believe it is necessary in order to prevent illegal, fraudulent, or injurious actions that may cause harm to individuals.

How And Where Does Giftfuse Secure My Information?
We use Third-Party vendors to store your information. These Third-Party vendors employ security measures (such as software and applications to block DDoS attacks, bots, malicious traffic, and internal firewalls) in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.

How Can I Access Or Correct My Information?
You may access all information we’ve collected about you for purposes of correcting, amending, or deleting such information. Access can be obtained by contacting [email protected]. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps to help verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
