Welcome to A Better Gift. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding your data when you use our website or mobile app.
We collect the following types of personal information:
Marketing and Referral Information: When you arrive at A Better Gift, we automatically record how you got here — the web address that referred you (your browser’s referrer), the page you first landed on, and any campaign parameters in the link you clicked (such as utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, and advertising click identifiers like fbclid and gclid). We store this in your browser (using localStorage and sessionStorage) so it survives as you move through the site, and we attach it to your account when you sign up. We use it only to understand which channels bring people to A Better Gift and to measure our advertising — never to build a profile for resale. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser storage.
Saved Recipients: When you add someone's email address or phone number as a recipient of a request, we save it to your account so you can reuse it on future requests without retyping. Saved recipients are visible only to you — never to other users or to the recipients themselves — and are used solely to populate your own suggestion list. You can remove any saved recipient at any time from the sharing screen, and if a recipient unsubscribes from your requests they are automatically dropped from your suggestions. All saved recipients are permanently deleted when you delete your account.
We share information with trusted service providers who help us operate our services:
