Privacy Policy
This document defines our Privacy Policy, and the way your information is retrieved and used when you use our services. Babelgift receives information from any access to its website, email, applications, buttons, market services and other associated services related to this Policy ( collectively, 'Services' ), and those of our partners and third parties.
When using any of our Services you consent to the collection, transfer, storage, disclosure, and use of your information in any country where we operate, as described in this Privacy Policy.
You can contact us at [email protected] with any comments or questions that you may have.
Information collection and use
Account information
By creating or modifying your account, you provide us with personal information such as your name, age, place of residence and email address. Your full name is publicly available, along with your place of residence, country and your gift lists, unless you use private lists - in this case, they will be only accesible by those you have accepted as 'friends'.
Other information
You may provide us with more information that will be made public, for example your comments on products, your picture or avatar, and your date of birth. By default, the information you cannot set as 'private' ( like using private lists ) will be public. We may use this information to inform the content that we show you, for example finding people you may know, tailoring adverts to you based on your search history, or showing your profile to other people that may know you. Also, you can add your contact list so that the page will search for people you may know. You can delete contacts from your list at any time. If you send us an email, we can store your email address and contact information in order to reply to you.
If you connect an account you hold with another service to our services, the other service may share your profile information with us, and any other information you agree to being shared, in order to make it easier for you to register with us. This information helps us to give you a better experience, for example through automatic registration, which saves you having to retype your information or fill out more forms.
Use of links
Babelgift may store information on each user's interaction with the links on the page, and their interactions with the page as a whole, including email notifications, third party services, and other applications, redirecting links or by other techniques, in order to improve the website, the service and the advertisements shown, and share aggregated statistics of link use.
Contact information
Your contact information, such as your email address or phone number, are private and will not be published. You can use them to retrieve your account information, activate services or receive information from your groups, friends or commitments from Babelgift. If you give us your phone number, you consent to receiving text messages from Babelgift on that number.
Cookie's Policy
Similarly to other websites, we use cookies and other similar technology as part of our infrastructure, and also to improve the website and offer more relevant ads to our users. A cookie is a small file that is transferred to your computer or your mobile device. Babelgift uses this file for its own operation ( session cookies ) and also to better understand the use you make of our site, to improve the platform and give you a better service. We also use third party cookies, to allow you to register more quickly using details from another account and to manage website statistics like the number of visitors by page, most viewed pages and other relevant information from the site.

Affiliation programs and web statistics
Babelgift uses several third party services in order to offer its own services, like web hosting or website usage statistics (for example Google Analytics), or to offer easy registration (for example by registering with your Facebook account). We also use affiliation programs (for example Amazon) to finance our page showing ads and to retrieve product information. When using our page, some information about your usage is shared with these providers, as is some of your information like cookies or IP address. This information can be used to show you products in other websites related to your searches in Babelgift.com, but we do not share your confidential information with third parties.

Child protection
While our services are not dangerous for children, they are not intended for use by people under 14 years old, as we can not assure irrefutably that the products shown on searches are appropiate for people under 14, even when we have systems in place to monitor what is shown. You can contact us through our contact page if you suspect or know your child has provided us with personal information, and we will delete the account and their information.
Accessing, modifying and removing your information
As a registered user, you have access to your personal information in your Edit Profile page, and you can modify the information you have provided us with. You can also delete your account by sending an email to [email protected] from the email address you registered with on our site.
Parts of your information may relate to your friends' accounts, such as comments on gifts that belong to collective lists. That information will be maintained until the list expires, or when it is removed by the group administrator.
When you delete your account, your data is no longer publicly available online, but Babelgift is obliged to maintain records for a certain amount of time for legal reasons, as it may be judicially required. It is also possible that some of your information may be in our backup files (which are saved for information recovery purposes, in case of malfunction of the page or other issues) until these files expire and the data is permanently deleted.
