Privacy policy

Privacy Policy:

This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes how www.getawaygiftbox.com (the “Site” or “we”) collects, uses, and discloses your Personal Information when you visit or make a purchase from the Site.

The below policy describes: (1) what information may be collected; (2) how such information may be used; and (3) your rights as a visitor or user of this site regarding such information. 

Information may be collected at the Site. The Site uses this information to deliver the services offered on the Site, to inform you of changes to the Site, to enhance the Site, to prevent illegal or potentially prohibited conduct, and to enforce our Terms of Use (the “Terms”), which incorporate this Privacy Policy by reference. 

Before you access or use any of our services we encourage you to read the entire Privacy Policy. A short summary is below:

• We collect information related to your use of the Site;
• Such information is used to provide you the services on the Site and may be used for marketing purposes;
• You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information at any time and for any reason by contacting: nicole@getawaygiftbox.com.

1.) Please Read the Whole Policy

This Privacy Policy governs the Site’s information management policies including how the Site gathers, stores, or shares your information, if at all. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information that is gathered or collected offline. By using this Site and submitting information to the Site, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy and to any other applicable terms, including the Terms. This Privacy Policy is intended to provide you with a clear explanation of how, when, and why we collect and use your personal information, as well as an explanation of your legal rights. Nothing in this policy is intended to override the terms of any contract you have with us or any rights you have under applicable data privacy laws. 

Please read the entire policy and make sure you fully understand our practices before using our services. If you do not agree with our practices you must immediately leave the Site. If you have any questions after fully reading the policy, please contact us at: nicole@getawaygiftbox.com.

2.) Collecting Personal Information

When you visit the Site, we collect two kinds of information. The first, unidentified and non-identifiable information (“Anonymous Information”) does not enable the Site to identify the visitor or user from whom it was collected. The Anonymous Information collected by the Site consist of: (1) the date, time and length of your visit (including time zone); (2) your Internet browser, operating system or Internet provider; (3) the referring site, advertisement or email linking to and from the Site; and (4) what sites or products you view and how you interact with the Site.  The site may, from time to time, also collect information regarding your wireless device (if any) and your wireless communications carrier. The Site may aggregate, use and share Anonymous Information with third parties for marketing and advertising purposes. 

The second type of information we collect is individually identifiable information, meaning information that can identify an individual or may, with reasonable efforts, lead to the identification of an individual (“PII”).  This may include: e-mail address, full name, phone number, browsing and usage session details (IP address, geo-location, device unique identifiers), details regarding connected third-party accounts (PayPal, Google, Facebook), what device you are on, correspondence through the Site, payment information (including credit card numbers, debit card, and Paypal) and any other PII provided directly by users and visitors the Site. If any Anonymous Information is linked to PII, it is treated as PII as long as the connection exists. We never collects “special categories of personal data” such as medical conditions, race, political opinions, religion, union membership etc. We may also collect additional information if you contact us for customer support. 

3.) How Is Information Collected?

The Site collects information about you only if we have a reason for such collection, such as to provide the services, to communicate with you or to improve our Site. Information is collected in three ways: 

• Information collected automatically through accessing the Site. When you visit the Site (or any website), your actions while your browse the Site, upload information, download information, or access any links, either directly through the Site or with the help of third-party services such as cookies, are tracked. Learn more about how we use cookies and third-party services in Section 7 below. 
• Information you provide the Site. When you use our services, we collect the PII you provide us. We also store all communications you have directly with us (support tickets, emails).

Both Anonymous Information and PII is collected so that we may provide the services on the Site.  This includes: correspondence regarding the services, to further develop and improve the site services based on user preferences, to provide customer assistance and technical support, to customize your site experience, to email newsletters and other marketing activities, to communicate about the products and services we offer, to invoice and collect payment for our products, to respond to requests, inquiries, comments and suggestions, to create aggregated statistical data from Anonymous Information which the Site or its partners may use to provide or improve their respective services, and to enhance data and fraud security capabilities. We also reserve the right to use PII to customize marketing strategies, personalize marketing content, target customers for marketing campaigns, analyze and enhance our communications and strategies (including identifying when emails sent to you have been received and read) and to analyze results from marketing campaigns. 

We will not sell, license, rent, or otherwise disclose your PII except as stated herein, or under the following circumstances: (1) you have given your consent; (2) we previously notified you of the disclosure in this Privacy Policy or when you provided your information on the Site; (3) we are compelled by law, legal process, or court order to disclose; (4) disclosure is required to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may cause harm to, or interference with, our rights or property, our users, or anyone else; (5) to respond to an inquiry, request or complaint that you have made; and (6) to service providers that perform services on our behalf such as technology providers (providers of payment processing, technology support, web hosting, and email communications). We may cooperate with Internet service providers to identify users whenever required to comply with law, to enforce compliance with this Privacy Policy or our Terms, or to protect the Site, our customers and others.

Please note that we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser.

5.) Where is Information Stored?

The Site uses industry standard technologies to safeguard your data (both Anonymous Data and PII) from unauthorized use and disclosure and to prohibit possible security breaches of the Site. Unfortunately, no website, computer system or online communication is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur. Your use of the Site is at your own risk.

We will take commercially reasonable steps to use heightened security technologies to protect the transmission and storage of transactional information to the Site. Such heightened security measures may include the secure transmission and encryption of all supplied sensitive financial or other transaction-related information. However, we cannot guarantee that the safeguards we maintain will ensure the security of personal information

Unless otherwise specified, whenever you make a purchase, your financial related information will only be used to process your transaction and will not be stored on our servers.

Data will be maintained, processed and stored by the Site in the United States of America or other jurisdictions, as necessary, for proper delivery of the services or as required by law.

6.) Requesting Deletion of Information & Your Rights

Upon written request we will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your PII. You may access, correct, or request deletion of your PII or opt-out of any emails by emailing: nicole@getawaygiftbox.com. We will respond to your request within a timeframe imposed by local laws or a reasonable timeframe.

Please note that permanently deleting your Site information erases all of your information from our system. After completing this process your data will be removed permanently, and the Site will not be able to restore or retrieve your data in the future.

If you are located in countries that fall under the scope of the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), data protection laws give you rights with respect to your personal data, subject to exemptions provided by law. These rights include:

• The right to request access to your personal data;
• The right to request correction or deletion of your personal data;
• The right to object to the use and processing of your personal data;
• The right to request that we limit our use and processing of your personal data;
• The right to request portability of your personal data.
• The right to make a complaint to a governmental supervisory authority.

We strive to provide these rights to all visitors and users. Please email us at nicole@getawaygiftbox.com with any requests, questions, or concerns.
