At The Gifting Dad (“we”, “our”, or “us”), we care about your privacy — and we’re committed to being clear about how your information is collected, used, and protected.

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you visit www.thegiftingdad.com (the “Website”).

1. Information We Collect

We don’t ask you to create an account, but we may collect two types of information:

• Personal Information (Voluntary)

If you choose to get in touch with us — for example, by filling out a contact form — we may collect your name, email address, or other information you choose to share.

• Non-Personal Information (Automatically Collected)

Like most websites, we collect standard analytics data to understand how visitors use the site. This may include:

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Pages visited
  • Referring URLs
  • Time spent on site

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information for the following reasons:

  • To improve the Website and understand how readers interact with our content
  • To respond to messages or questions sent through our Contact Page
  • To participate in affiliate marketing programs — meaning we may earn a small commission if you click a product link and make a purchase, at no extra cost to you
  • To optionally send newsletters or product roundups if that becomes available in the future (you’ll always be able to opt out)

We will never sell or rent your personal data.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to improve your browsing experience and track anonymous site performance.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though this may affect how the site works for you.

We may use third-party services like:

  • Google Analytics
  • Amazon affiliate tracking (to know if a purchase came from our link)

These services may also use cookies as part of their functionality.

Some product links on our site are affiliate links (e.g., Amazon). If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission — but it doesn’t affect the price you pay.

We include affiliate links as part of how we support and run this website. Learn more on our Affiliate Disclosure page.

This Website contains links to external sites (e.g., Amazon or other retailers). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell or trade your personal data.

We may share anonymized analytics or basic usage data with third-party services strictly for the purpose of improving the Website. If required by law, we may disclose your information in response to valid legal processes.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable security measures to protect any information you submit, but no online platform is 100% secure. Please be cautious when sharing personal details on the internet.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live (such as the UK, EU, or California), you may have rights regarding your data — including access, correction, or deletion.

If you'd like to exercise any of these rights, please get in touch through our Contact Page.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page, and the updated date will be shown above.

We recommend checking this page occasionally to stay informed.
