To protect your privacy, GiftMonkey.com has instituted a number of
policies that give you information and control.
This privacy statement discloses our practices for the gathering
and use of information from visitors to our own Web sites, from
people who register for services that we offer online, and from
visitors to other sites where we collect information pursuant to
our customer contracts.
If you contact us by e-mail; complete our registration forms,
surveys, or entry forms; subscribe to our services or newsletters;
or participate in one of our contests or sweepstakes; we will
ask you for information. The information we ask for may include
contact information (such as name and e-mail address); demographic
information (such as zip code, age, and income level).
How Do You Use Personal Information?
Registration information submitted on one of GiftMonkey.coms own sites is
used by us for the purpose for which it was submitted and may also be
used by GiftMonkey.coms to make your visits to our own sites easier and
enjoyable.
Personal information may be used in several
ways:
- To enable us to respond to you or to process, validate, and
verify service requests and to perform the requested services
- To allow us to ship your free gifts
- To give our own Web site designers information that's useful
for developing new features and services that meet registrants'
needs
- To tailor the registrant's experience on our sites, showing
them content we think might interest them or altering the content
according to their preferences.
Except for purposes stated expressly in this Privacy Policy,
GiftMonkey.com will not use your personal information.
Information submitted to us as part of applications for employment
or for partner candidates is used by us to evaluate your qualifications
for the positions sought.
If You Contact Us
We use return e-mail addresses to answer the e-mail we receive
at any of our sites, but such e-mail addresses are not stored
or used for any other purpose.
What Kind of Information Do You Share With Others?
Except as may be stated expressly in this Privacy Policy, we do not share
personal information that you give us with any third parties.
Disclosures Required By Law
There is a limited number of situations requiring us to disclose
your personal information to others without first receiving
your consent: (1) when ordered to do so by a subpoena or court
order, (2) if you violate or breach an agreement with us, (3)
if we believe conduct by you will harm the property or rights
of GiftMonkey.com or those of GiftMonkey.com's users, (4) under exigent
circumstances to protect the physical safety of GiftMonkey.com,
its employees, users, or the general public, (5) in connection
with the sale of all or substantially all of our company's
assets or the sale of an entire business division, or (6) to
validate credit card numbers.
Aggregate Information
GiftMonkey.com may share aggregate statistical information gathered
from the registration process with advertisers, business partners,
sponsor or other third parties, but none of them receive individual
identifying information about you collected at our sites. For
example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of visitors
visited a certain area on a web site or that Y number of men
and Z number of women filled out registration forms, but we
would not disclose anything that would identify those individuals.
We share this information only on an aggregate, anonymous basis
and never on an individual basis.

We may use cookies to:
- Keep count of your return visits to our site
- Accumulate and report anonymous, aggregate, statistical information
on Web site usage

In general, we do not use cookies to identify, monitor,

Security Information
Our site has physical, electronic, and managerial security
measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration
of the information under our control. We take many measures to
protect this information while it is stored:
- We monitor system and application activity logs to identify
any unusual activity, from authorized or unauthorized individuals
accessing our systems or making changes to stored information.
We regularly perform preventative system maintenance and monitoring
to ensure the security of our data systems.
- Our servers are maintained in secure facilities. GiftMonkey.com
network operations personnel monitor our data center 24 hours
per day, seven days per week.
- All our employees sign confidentiality agreements and only
our employees who need information to perform their job and
who have passed background checks are granted access to personally
identifiable information or any other confidential data.
You do not need to set up a user id and password to use our
web sites because we do not require you to establish your identity
when you visit our sites. However, if you have subscribed for
some of our services or are a customer seeking access to your
account information, you will have to provide passwords. We recommend
you do not divulge your password to anyone. GiftMonkey.com will
never ask you for your password in an unsolicited telephone call
or e-mail. You are responsible for the secrecy of your passwords.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any
wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot
ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit,
and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission,
we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
You can report network abuse and any risk of security violations
to us by e-mailing support@offercentric.com.
Children
We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
of 1998 (COPPA). COPPA and its accompanying FTC regulation establish
United States federal law that protects the privacy of children
using the Internet. GiftMonkey.com does not knowingly collect contact
information or personal information from children under 13. Our
sites are not intended to solicit information of any kind from
children under 13, and we have designed our sites to block our
knowing acceptance of information from children under 13 wherever
age-related information is requested.
It is possible that by fraud or deception we may receive information
pertaining to children under 13. If we are notified of this,
as soon as we verify the information, we will immediately delete
the information. If you want to notify us of our receipt of information
by children under 13, please do so by e-mailing us at support@offercentric.com.
