1. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the Gift Card website operated through giftcard.org.in, including pages, promotional offers, outbound links and the click tracking functionality associated with those services.
By accessing the website, you acknowledge that information may be processed as described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
Depending on how you interact with the website, we may process technical, analytical and campaign information.
| Information | Purpose |
|---|---|
| IP address | Security, traffic measurement, fraud prevention and analytics. |
| Browser / User-Agent | Technical diagnostics, device and browser analytics. |
| Device type | Understanding traffic and improving compatibility. |
| Operating system | Technical analytics and service diagnostics. |
| Referrer information | Understanding how visitors reach tracked links and campaign pages. |
| Campaign parameters | Attribution and performance measurement. |
| Publisher / Sub IDs | Campaign attribution and reporting where supplied. |
| Destination URL | Processing and recording the destination associated with a tracking request. |
| Timestamp | Click measurement, reporting and security analysis. |
We do not intentionally request sensitive personal information through ordinary coupon or offer interactions.
3. Click Tracking & Redirects
Gift Card uses a click tracking system to measure outbound offer interactions and campaign performance.
The transparent tracking endpoint at
giftcard.org.in/tracker
uses the query parameter redirection_url to identify
the destination associated with a transparent tracking request.
Google Ads template placeholders such as {lpurl} are
supported and substituted at click time.
When a valid redirection_url is supplied,
the transparent tracking system processes that destination
rather than silently substituting an unrelated database
destination.
The tracking system may also generate a service-specific click identifier for attribution and measurement.
Tracking requests may include campaign values such as
offer_id, publisher_id,
sub_id, and UTM parameters. Background parallel
tracking requests identified by gb=1 return HTTP 204
and do not perform a visible redirect.
4. How We Use Information
Information processed through the website and tracking system may be used for:
- Measuring outbound offer clicks.
- Attributing campaign traffic.
- Generating performance reports.
- Understanding website and campaign usage.
- Detecting invalid, abusive or suspicious traffic.
- Maintaining the reliability and security of the service.
- Troubleshooting technical issues.
- Improving website content and user experience.
We do not use click tracking information for purposes inconsistent with the operation and security of the website unless otherwise disclosed or required by law.
5. Affiliate Links & Promotional Offers
Some links on giftcard.org.in may be affiliate or promotional links.
When a visitor clicks an eligible link and subsequently completes an action with a third-party merchant, Gift Card may receive a commission or other compensation from the applicable affiliate or commercial partner.
The price paid by a visitor is not increased solely because a link is identified as an affiliate link.
Affiliate relationships do not determine the technical privacy practices of third-party merchants. Their own privacy policies apply when you leave our website.
8. Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to external merchants, advertisers, affiliate partners and other third-party websites.
Once you leave giftcard.org.in, the third party's own privacy policy and terms may apply.
Gift Card does not control the privacy practices, security, content or data handling of external websites.
9. Data Retention
Tracking and technical information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for analytics, attribution, security, fraud prevention, troubleshooting, legal compliance or legitimate operational purposes.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason for which it was collected.
10. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
These measures may include HTTPS/TLS encryption, server-side validation, access controls and security monitoring where appropriate.
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
11. Your Choices & Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information processed about you.
These may include rights to:
- Request access to certain information.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion where legally applicable.
- Object to or restrict certain processing where applicable.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
- Make a complaint to an applicable data protection authority.
Requests may be sent to: admin@giftcard.org.in
We may need sufficient information to verify and properly respond to a request. We will handle requests according to applicable legal requirements.
12. Children's Privacy
The website is not intentionally designed to collect personal information from children.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us in circumstances where it should not have been collected, please contact us so that the matter can be reviewed and appropriate action can be taken where required.
13. International Data Processing
Depending on the hosting infrastructure, service providers, affiliate networks or third-party technologies used, information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country from which you access the website.
Where applicable, such processing is subject to the requirements and safeguards imposed by relevant law.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, tracking functionality, services, legal requirements or data practices.
