Privacy policy

This policy explains how GiftLedger handles information when visitors use the site, interact with planning tools, and browse editorial content. The policy is written to reflect GDPR-style principles of transparency, data minimization, purpose limitation, and user control.

1. Information we process

GiftLedger may process limited technical data that is commonly required to deliver a website, including browser type, device information, pages viewed, approximate region, and basic diagnostic logs. When a visitor uses the calculators, values entered into the fields may be processed in the browser to generate results. Those values are intended for on-page functionality rather than for building personal profiles.

2. Cookies and similar technologies

The site may use cookies or local storage to remember interface preferences, including whether a visitor has dismissed the cookie notice. Analytics-related technologies may also be used in a privacy-conscious manner to understand page performance, navigation patterns, and tool usage trends. These technologies are used to maintain service quality, improve usability, and measure which features are actually helpful.

3. Legal bases for processing

Depending on the activity, GiftLedger may rely on legitimate interests, consent, or the necessity of providing the requested service. Functional storage used to keep the site working can be processed on the basis that the visitor has requested a working website experience. Optional analytics or preference technologies should be handled on the basis of consent where required by law.

4. How information is used

Information may be used to operate the website, generate tool outputs, detect technical problems, assess aggregate performance, prevent abuse, and improve content quality. GiftLedger does not present the site as a platform for intrusive profiling. The goal of data use is service delivery and operational review, not unrelated marketing expansion.

5. Retention

Technical logs and aggregate analytics should be kept only for as long as necessary to maintain security, diagnose issues, and evaluate the effectiveness of site features. Retention periods may vary depending on legal obligations, infrastructure requirements, and legitimate operational needs. Where detailed information is no longer needed, it should be deleted, anonymized, or reduced to aggregate form.

6. Sharing and service providers

GiftLedger may rely on hosting, analytics, content delivery, or infrastructure providers that process limited data on behalf of the site. Those providers are expected to act under contractual and legal obligations that support confidentiality, security, and limited use. Information should not be disclosed to unrelated third parties except where necessary for service delivery, required by law, or needed to protect the rights and security of the service.

7. International transfers

If data is processed outside the visitor’s home jurisdiction, appropriate safeguards should be used where required. These may include standard contractual arrangements, provider commitments, or other lawful mechanisms intended to preserve an adequate level of protection.

8. Your rights

Depending on applicable law, visitors may have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent for certain types of processing. Visitors may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if they believe their information has been handled unlawfully.

9. Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures should be used to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or alteration. No internet service can promise absolute security, but responsible maintenance, limited collection, and restrained retention reduce risk materially.

10. Contact and updates

For privacy questions, use the contact form on this website. This policy may be updated when operational practices, legal expectations, or service features change. The revised version becomes effective when published on this page.
