GreetingCardUniverse.com is the sole owner of the information collected
on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others
in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.
GreetingCardUniverse.com collects information from our users at several
different points on our website.
In order to use this website, a user must first complete the registration
form. During registration a user is required to give their contact
information (such as name and email address). This information is used to
contact the user about the services on our site for which they have
expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide billing
information (such as credit card number), and other information
(such as interests and hobbies), but encouraged so we can provide a more
efficient and personalized experience on our site.
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user may
provide recipient contact information (like name and shipping address)
and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date).
This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders.
If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to
get in touch with the user.
Technologies such as: cookies, beacons, tags and scripts are used by
Greeting Card Universe.com and our partners, affiliates, or analytics
or service providers. These technologies are used in analyzing trends,
administering the site, tracking users' movements around the site and
to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may
receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies
on an individual as well as aggregated basis.
We use cookies for our shopping cart, to remember users' settings such as
currency and card personalization. Users can control the use of cookies at
the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our
site, but your ability to use some features or areas of our site may be limited.
As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically
and store it in log files. This information may include internet protocol
(IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and/or
clickstream data.
We may combine this automatically collected log information with other
information we collect about you. We do this to improve services we offer
you, to improve marketing, analytics, or site functionality.
We partner with a third party to either display advertising on our Web site
or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our third party partner may
use technologies such as cookies to gather information about your
activities on this site and other sites in order to provide you advertising
based upon your browsing activities and interests. If you wish to not have
this information used for the purpose of serving you interest-based ads,
you may opt-out by
clicking here.
Please note this does not opt you out of being served ads. You will
continue to receive generic ads.
We may share or sell
aggregated (not personally identifiable)
demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is NOT
linked to any personally identifiable information.
We may use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card
processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies
do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for
any secondary purposes and are authorized to use your personal information
only as necessary to provide these services to us.
We may partner with another party to provide specific services. When the
user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact
information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information
except for the purpose of providing these services. For example a Greeting
Card printer will need a Return & ShipTo address to fulfill an order.
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to
disclose personally identifiable information when required by law wherein
we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a
current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our
Web site. If GreetingCardUniverse.com is involved in a merger, acquisition,
or sale of all or a portion of its assets, you will be notified via email
and/or a prominent notice on our Web site of any change in ownership or
uses of your personally identifiable information, as well as any choices
you may have regarding your personally identifiable information, to any
other third party with your prior consent to do so.
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we at
Greeting Card Universe are not responsible for the privacy practices of
such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our
site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that
collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement
applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Our Web site includes Social Media Features, such as the Facebook button
[and Widgets, such as the Share this button or interactive mini-programs
that run on our site]. These Features may collect your IP address, which
page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the
Feature to function properly. Social Media Features and Widgets are either
hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions
with these Features are governed by the privacy policy of the company
providing it.
If a user wishes to subscribe to our email reminders or phone reminders,
we ask for contact information such as name, email address, and cell phone
email address. Out of respect for your privacy, you may choose to stop
receiving our email or phone reminders by following the unsubscribe
instructions included in these emails, accessing the email and phone
preferences in your account settings page or you can contact us at
support@greetingcarduniverse.com.
Information such as interest, hobbies, and other attributes both from and
member and their recipients play a vital role for the recommendation engine
to offer tailored suggestions of goods and services. This information is
completely optional and is required only if the member desires specifically
tailored suggestions of greeting cards, gifts, and other goods and services.
We display personal testimonials of satisfied customers on our site in
addition to other endorsements. With your consent we may post your
testimonial along with your name. If you wish to update or delete your
testimonial, you can contact us at

Our Web site offers publicly accessible blogs or community forums. You
should be aware that any information you provide in these areas may be
read, collected, and used by others who access them. To request removal
of your personally identifiable information from our blog or community
forum, contact us at
privacy@greetingcarduniverse.com.
In some cases, we may not be able to remove your personally identifiable
information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so
and why.
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about
our site, we ask for the friend's name and email address.
GreetingCardUniverse.com will automatically send the friend a one-time
email inviting them to visit and join the site. GreetingCardUniverse.com

This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information.
When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information
is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information
(such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is
protected with the best encryption software in the industry
- Transport Layer Security (TLS).
While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on Web
browsers such as Firefox, Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing.
While we use TLS encryption encryption to protect sensitive information
online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information
off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees
who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our
billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to
personally identifiable information. Our employees must use
password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they
return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to your
information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our
security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new
policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the
importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our
customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store
personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment,
behind a locked cage. Click here to verify our
Secured Site Certification.
We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information
submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However,
no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic
storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute
security. If you have any questions about security on our Web site, you can
contact us at
security@greetingcarduniverse.com.
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username.
Established members will occasionally receive information on products,
services, and special deals. Out of respect for the privacy of our users
we present the option to not receive these types of communications by
updating
My Privacy Preferences options.
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are
not able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain
important information about the service. We communicate with the user to
provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their
account via email or phone.
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip
code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to
provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personally
identifiable information provided to us. This can usually be done by
emailing our Customer Support at
support@greetingcarduniverse.com, or by
contacting us at 877-347-6784.
We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or
as needed to provide you services. Please contact us if you wish to cancel
your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide
you services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to
comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our
agreements.
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-in' and 'opt-out' of having
their information used for purposes directly and indirectly related to our
site like periodic updates on special promotions, communications directly
with user "recipients" and the sharing or sale of non-personally
identifiable information to third parties. Users can easily update their
privacy preference options at any time in
My Privacy Preferences
My Privacy Preferences.
Users who no longer wish to receive our promotional materials may opt-out
of receiving these communications by replying with unsubscribe in the
subject line to
unsubscribe@greetingcarduniverse.com
or by simply updating their My Privacy Preferences options.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on
our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect,
how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any
point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner
different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify
users by way of an email prior to the change becoming effective. Users will
have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this
different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy
policy under which the information was collected.
