Effective date: September 28, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Gift Baskets Market ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit https://www.giftbasketsmarket.com (the "Site"). We keep data collection to a minimum: we don't sell products, we don't run user accounts, and we never ask for payment details.
Who we are
Gift Baskets Market is an independent gift basket guide. For privacy questions or requests, contact us at [email protected].
Information we collect
Information you give us
If you use our contact form or email us, we receive your name, email address, the topic you choose and your message. We use this only to reply to you and to keep a record of the conversation.
Information collected automatically
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the Site (for example, which pages are popular and how people arrive). Google Analytics collects information such as pages viewed, approximate location (city/region derived from IP address), device and browser type, and referring website, using cookies or similar identifiers. See our Cookie Policy.
- Server logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records technical information such as IP address, browser type, requested URL and time of the request, for security and to keep the Site running.
- Consent choice. If you accept or decline analytics cookies, we store that choice in your browser's local storage so we don't ask you again.
Information we do not collect
We don't create user accounts, take orders, process payments or collect sensitive personal information.
How we use information
- To operate, secure and improve the Site.
- To understand which guides are useful and what to write next.
- To respond to your messages and requests.
- To comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Affiliate links and third-party sites
Our Site links to Amazon and occasionally to other websites. When you click an Amazon link, Amazon may set cookies and collect information about your visit and purchases under the Amazon.com Privacy Notice. We receive commission reports from Amazon that do not identify you personally. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites.
Sharing information
We share information only with service providers that help us run the Site, and only as needed:
- Hosting provider (servers, security, server logs, email delivery for our contact form).
- Google (Google Analytics). Learn how Google uses data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a sale or transfer of the Site.
Your choices
- Cookie choices: use the cookie banner or the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. You can also block cookies in your browser or install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
- Global Privacy Control: if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out and do not enable analytics cookies.
- Email: we only email you in reply to your message. We don't send newsletters unless you ask us to.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing.
- US state privacy laws (including California): you may request to know, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" (we don't sell or share personal information for targeted advertising). We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
- European Economic Area, UK and Switzerland: we process personal data based on your consent (analytics cookies), our legitimate interests (keeping the Site secure and responding to messages) and legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time and lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To make a request, email [email protected] with "Privacy request" in the subject line. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law.
Data retention
We keep contact-form messages for as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterward (generally no more than 24 months). Google Analytics data is retained according to our analytics settings (no more than 14 months). Server logs are kept by our hosting provider for a limited period for security purposes.
Security
We use HTTPS encryption and reasonable technical measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International visitors
The Site is operated for visitors in the United States. If you visit from another country, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.
Children's privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We'll change the effective date above and, for significant changes, add a notice on the Site.
