International Data Transfers

GiftScores.com operates globally, which means we may need to share your personal information with third parties around the world as described in our Privacy Policy. No matter where your information is transferred, stored, or processed, we are committed to taking appropriate measures to protect your privacy.

If you are covered by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), please note that some of our service providers may be located outside the European Economic Area and may not provide the same level of data protection as the EU. In these situations, we use suitable safeguards and internationally accepted tools—such as Standard Contractual Clauses—along with any necessary additional measures, to help keep your data secure. For more details about these Standard Contractual Clauses, please visit the following link.

Your Rights as a Data Subject

As a data subject, you have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights include:

• Access and Review: You can check whether we are processing your personal data and request a copy of the information we hold about you.
• Data Portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Correction and Updates: If you believe any of your personal data is incorrect or incomplete, you can ask us to correct or update it.

• Objection: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data when it is based on our legitimate interests, the public interest, or profiling. However, we may provide reasons showing that we have compelling grounds to continue processing that override your interests, rights, or freedoms, or that processing is necessary for legal purposes.
• Withdrawal of Consent: If we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you can withdraw your consent at any time.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided below.

How do we protect and secure your Personal Data?

At GiftScores.com, keeping your personal information safe is one of our highest priorities. We use a range of security measures to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, or any changes, disclosure, or destruction. Our approach includes maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and services, as well as ensuring they are robust and reliable. In case of a physical or technical issue, we have plans in place to quickly restore access to your information.

To secure communication between you and our servers, GiftScores.com uses the SSL/TLS protocol. This technology encrypts your data during transmission, shielding it from unauthorized parties and making your experience more secure when using our platform.

Although we strive to protect your data, please remember that no online transmission or storage method can be completely free from risk. If you believe your personal information may have been compromised in any way, don’t hesitate to contact us right away.

Data Storage Duration

How long does GiftScores.com keep your personal data?

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected. How long we retain your data depends on several factors:

• The length of our relationship with you and how long we provide our services to you.
• Any legal requirements we need to follow.
• Whether we need to keep the information due to legal reasons, such as statutes of limitations, ongoing lawsuits, or regulatory investigations.

If you’d like more information about our data retention timeline or want to request the permanent deletion of your data, please contact us.

User Responsibility for Providing Accurate and Truthful Personal Information

Users are fully responsible for making sure that any information they submit through web forms is accurate and truthful. GiftScores.com cannot be held liable for any inaccuracies or mistakes in the information provided by users. Users confirm that all personal information they share is valid, genuine, and up to date, and they agree to keep this information accurate over time. Users also commit to filling out all forms with complete and correct details.

If GiftScores.com shares information sourced from third parties, we cannot guarantee its accuracy and are not responsible for it. As a result, GiftScores.com is not liable for any damages that may arise from using such third-party information.

We are also not responsible for any losses or damages suffered by users that result from mistakes, errors, or omissions in information supplied by GiftScores.com when it originates from external sources.

Minors' Data

According to our privacy policy, we generally do not process data belonging to minors as part of our services. However, if a user provides information about someone under 14 years old (or under 16 for residents of California), they must confirm that they have obtained clear consent from a parent or legal guardian.

Information for California Residents

This notice is intended for California residents and is provided in line with California state laws, such as the California Online Privacy Protection Act ("CalOPPA") and the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), as outlined in Cal. Civil Code 1798.100, et. seq. It serves as a supplement to our Privacy Policy, highlighting the privacy rights available to California residents and sharing important information about how we handle the personal data of California users, whether collected online or offline.

In the last 12 months, we have collected the following types of personal information from California residents: identifiers (like your name, contact information, and device identifiers), records of internet or network activity (such as browsing history), approximate geolocation data, and inferences (such as general location or product interests). This information is collected directly from users of GiftScores.com.

For more details about the personal information we collect at GiftScores.com, including the specific categories and their sources, please refer to the "What personal data do we collect and for which purposes?" section above. The reasons we collect your data for business or commercial purposes are also described in that section.

We share this information with the same types of third parties identified in the "With whom do we share your personal data?" section above.

Under the CCPA, and subject to certain exceptions, California consumers are entitled to request—up to twice a year—information about the categories and specific pieces of personal data we collect, use, disclose, and may sell about them. California residents also have the right to request the deletion of their personal data, opt out of the "sale" of personal information, and are protected from discrimination for exercising any of these rights.

We do not sell the personal information of California residents, including anyone under the age of 16, and we will not do so in the future unless we provide an opportunity to opt out.

The "Do Not Track" ("DNT") feature is a privacy option that you can set in some browsers to signal your preference about the tracking of online activity. Since there is currently no accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, we want to clarify that we do not recognize or respond to DNT requests.

California residents may submit requests regarding their personal information rights by contacting us. To process your request, we will verify your identity by comparing the information you provide with what we have on file. If you prefer, you can designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf, but we will require written proof of their authorization and may still need to confirm your identity directly.

Information for Residents of the European Economic Area (EEA)

If you are a resident of a country within the European Economic Area (EEA), you are entitled to certain additional rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: You can request access to the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: You have the right to have any inaccurate personal information corrected.
• Deletion: You may request that your personal data be deleted from our records.
• Restriction: You can request that we limit how we process your personal information.
• Complaint: If you believe your data has been misused, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant authority in your country.

If you think the way we handle your personal information on GiftScores.com violates data protection laws, you are legally entitled to bring your concerns to your local data protection authority. Any legal disputes related to this agreement will be resolved exclusively by the courts in an EEA member country, such as Latvia.

To exercise any of these rights regarding your personal data, please contact us in writing using the details provided below.

Updates to Our Privacy Policy

We may update or revise this policy on GiftScores.com as needed, including to reflect changes in privacy laws or new legal requirements. Whenever we make changes, we will post the updated policy on our website. The Controller will make reasonable efforts to notify users about any significant updates.
