POLICY
At
Giftshopkenya.com, we recognize and respect the importance of
maintaining the privacy of our customers and members and have
established this Privacy Policy as a result. Below we describe
why we gather customer and member information, what information
we collect, how we collect it, what we use the information for
and how you can instruct us if you prefer to limit the use of
that information. This Privacy Policy is part of the Terms of
Use, which governs your use of Giftshopkenya.com.
Note: You must be 18 years or older to register as a member of
Giftshopkenya.com .
Why
we gather information.
Since our inception, Giftshopkenya.com has consistently provided
our customers with quality goods and excellent customer service.
We gather personal information to allow us to process your orders,
to provide an enhanced and more personalized shopping experience
and to inform you of special offers and discounts.
Information
we gather.
When you order from our Web site, we may collect the following
information: your name, telephone number, email address, billing
information (credit card number, expiration date and billing address),
occasion type (birthday, Mothers day, etc.), products purchased,
any relevant promotion code and information (for example if you
are claiming frequent flyer miles) and the recipient's name, address,
telephone number and email address. Information you enter is collected
even if you cancel or do not complete an order. Also, if you register
as a member, we request your name, address, phone number, email
address, title (gender), birth date, and other information set
forth on the Member Registration Page. Members may also add to
their Address Book the name, address and telephone number of friends
or other persons to whom they may wish to send gifts or receive
gift reminders. Only Members have the right to view and edit their
Address Book entries.
How
we use "cookies".
A "cookie" is a small file stored on your computer by
a Web site which gives you a numeric user ID and stores certain
information about your activity on the site. We use cookies to
let us know that you are a prior customer and to provide certain
features to you, for example to store information on your product
selections as you shop on our site, but we do not store any personal
information (except your name) or financial information about
you using cookies.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but most allow
you to instruct your browser to prevent the use of cookies. However,
if you disable this feature, certain aspects of Giftshopkenya.com,
such as the shopping basket, will not function properly.
How
we use the information we collect about you.
We use information we collect from you to process your orders,
to provide an enhanced and more personalized shopping experience
and to inform you and your gift recipients of offers and discounts
from Giftshopkenya.com or other sites and companies that we own.
In addition, we periodically make such information, including
aggregated information, available to selected third parties including
but not limited to, those who trade or rent information for direct
marketing purposes. However, we do not make your, or your gift
recipient's email addresses available to third parties (except
for subsidiaries, subcontractors or agents acting on our behalf
in compliance with this Privacy Policy) or any Successor (see
below) to our business. If you would like us to email you a notice
when our Privacy Policy or Terms of Use change, please follow
the instructions below. Any email sent to your gift recipients
will include a link to our Privacy Policy and a link to use if
they wish not to receive further emails. You may instruct us not
to share personal information you provide with third parties by
following the instructions provided below. A Successor to our
business is not to be considered to be a third party for these
purposes (see below).
In the event of a merger, consolidation, or sale or transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets or business of Giftshopkenya.com
(a "Successor"), one of the assets which would generally
be transferred is the information we collect from our customers
and members. However, the use of this information by any Successor
would still be governed by the terms of this privacy policy, as
amended from time to time, including any amendment after such
transaction, and you will continue to have the right to opt-out
of sharing your information with third parties.
We may disclose any information you provide to Giftshopkenya.com
(i) when we believe disclosure to be appropriate to comply with
any law, regulation, or governmental request, or to comply with
judicial process; or (ii) if such disclosure is necessary or appropriate
to operate this web site; or (iii) to protect the rights or property
of Giftshopkenya.com, its users, Sponsors, Providers, Licensors,
or Merchants.

Giftshopkenya.com wants you to be aware that when you click on
links and/or ad banners that take you to third-party Web sites,
you will be subject to the third parties' privacy policies, not
ours. While we support the protection of privacy on the Internet,
we cannot be responsible for the actions of third parties. We
encourage you to read the posted privacy statement and user terms
and conditions whenever interacting with, and prior to providing
any personal information to, any other Web site.
Your Security
The Paypal Web site we use for transactions encrypts your credit
card number prior to transmission over the Internet using secure
socket layer (SSL) encryption technology. This technology works
best when the site is viewed using Microsoft's Internet Explorer
or Netscape Navigator.
However, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other
public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we
make reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal information
once we receive it, we cannot warrant the security of information
you transmit to us.
