Privacy Policy – YourGiftsy

1. Who We Are

2. Personal Data We Collect & Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect:

  • Data entered in the comment form (e.g., name, email, website).

  • IP address and browser user-agent string—for spam detection.

  • A hashed version of the email may be shared with Gravatar to check for an avatar (subject to Gravatar’s privacy policy).

Media Uploads

If you upload images, please avoid adding embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors may download and extract that information.

Cookies and Tracking

  • When commenting: Optionally saves your details (name, email, website) in cookies for 1 year.

  • Login process:

    • A temporary cookie checks if your browser accepts cookies (removed when closed).

    • Login cookies (2 days), screen-option cookies (1 year), and “Remember Me” cookies (2 weeks).

    • Logging out removes login cookies.

    • Editing or publishing content sets a post-ID cookie (expires after 1 day, no personal data).

Embedded Content

Articles or posts may include embedded content (videos, images, etc.) that behaves as if you visited the third-party site directly. These may collect data, use cookies, or track your interactions.

3. Data Retention

  • Comments: Stored indefinitely for recognition of follow-up comments.

  • User Profiles: Registered users’ information is stored in their profiles. Users may view, edit, or delete their personal data anytime (username cannot be changed). Administrators may also access and edit this information.

4. Your Rights

If you have an account or left comments, you may request:

  • An export of your personal data we hold.

  • Deletion of your personal data (except where legally required to retain).

5. Where We Send Your Data

  • Spam Detection: Comments may be checked via automated systems.

  • Third-Party Services: Payment processors and service providers only collect data necessary to provide their services.

  • International Transfers: Depending on provider location, your data may be subject to other jurisdictions’ laws.

  • External Redirects: Once redirected to third-party sites (e.g., payment gateways), our Privacy Policy no longer applies.

6. How We Protect Your Data

We apply industry standards to safeguard your personal information. For sensitive data such as payment details:

  • Data is transmitted securely with SSL.

  • Stored using AES-256 encryption.

  • We comply with PCI-DSS and industry practices.
    Still, no online transmission or storage method is 100% secure.

7. Legal Disclosures

We may disclose information if required by law or if our Terms of Service are violated.

8. External Links
