GiftsNeeds.com is committed to protecting your privacy and using the latest technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. We understand you may have concerns about sharing personal information with us. We believe you should control the amount of information we receive about you. Where possible, we allow you to give as much or as little personal information to us as you feel comfortable providing.

We hope that you will want to provide information about yourself to us, because it will make your experience here more valuable to you. If you are comfortable sharing some basic information, you will receive enhanced services that are impossible to offer to anonymous users.

However you choose to interact with GiftsNeeds.com, you have our pledge to protect your privacy.

The security technology we use

We use state-of-the-art technology to protect your data from unauthorized third parties. Currently we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software to protect your data and secure your transactions. SSL encrypts all your personal information, including your credit card number, name, and address as they are transmitted over the Internet.

The information we collect

When you buy something from GiftsNeeds.com
We gather only necessary information to process your order. We will never store your credit card information in any form. Your credit card information is sent directly to the credit card processing company and we do not have any way to access your card numbers. And, we will not disclose your information to other individuals and organizations except required by law.

When you visit GiftsNeeds.com ("cookies")
We gather traffic patterns and site usage information to help us develop the design and layout of the site and to personalize your shopping experience. As a standard practice, we assign a random number to each user for anonymously tracking content preferences and traffic patterns.

This random number lets us keep track -- on an aggregate basis (that is, summary, not individual) -- of how many times customers are doing specific things, such as visiting our site each month, without specifically knowing who those customers are. This random number is kept in a file on your computer and is called a "cookie." Cookies, by themselves, cannot be used to determine the identity of any user.

We also conduct voluntary surveys from time to time to help us identify customer interests, and to allow for delivery of personalized information that will be most useful to you. Information collected on reader surveys may be shared with third parties to illustrate, on an aggregate basis only, profiles of our users, but we will not individually identify you.

Receiving email

We may send you email communications to provide our own products information such as product updates. You will be provided methods to unsubscribe these emails. We will never send you emails not related to our products.
