Our Commitment to Privacy
PartingGift is all about fun, rewarding games. Part of having fun is feeling confident that
your personal information is safe and will not exploited for any reason. It is important
that you also know that you can always permanently remove anything silly or
embarrassing from our records.
To allow you to review, and give you the power to remove, any undesired records
from our database, we offer our Profile Clean-Up Tool, which can be found
here.
To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online
information practices and the choices you can make about the way your
information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we link it
to our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information
may be requested.
How We Use Information
Part of PartingGift’s business is delivering insights, based on what we learn from
the decisions our players make in the heat of competition, to our sponsors. We
also share information about the types of people making these decisions: what genders
are they, in what regions do the live, how old are they, etc. We do not
share your name, personally-identifiable information, or contact information.
Our business requires us, from time to time, to request personal information to
allow us to uniquely identify you as a player, to contact you about upcoming
games or game outcomes, or to facilitate integration with other platforms (like
Facebook). Information collected for these purposes is used only for these
purposes.
We may request your email address as a means of verifying your account, or
communicating with you about PartingGift. You always have the option to opt out
of such communications.
Information We Collect for Internal Use:
This notice applies to information collected or submitted via the PartingGift
application, on the PartingGift.com website, or any of its affiliates.
In order to play certain games, or to facilitate fulfillment of certain prizes,
you may be required to submit information that is personally identifiable, and
information that allows us to contact you. This information will be used solely
for PartingGift’s internal purposes, and never shared with any other player,
advertiser, sponsor, or other third party. These types of personal
information include:
- Name
- Address
- Email address
- Phone number
Verification of players’ identities is essential to
maintaining the quality of PartingGift’s playing environment. Players who opt
to not provide personally-identifiable information may find that access to the
full functionality of the PartingGift platform, and games hosted thereon, may be
limited or restricted.

PartingGift may also collect information to maintain a profile. PartingGift may ask you to voluntarily
provide this information, we may infer it from your online activity, or we may
transform it—by taking appropriate steps to ensure it is no longer personally
identifiable—from your contact information. Profile information is shared
with sponsors, but never in conjunction with personally-identifiable or
contact information. Profile information includes:
- Three-digit regional zip code
- Gender

You may play our games without providing profile
information.
