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.

Information We Collect for Our Partners:

This notice applies to information collected or submitted via the PartingGift application, on the PartingGift.com website, or any of its affiliates.

PartingGift may also collect information to maintain a profile.

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.
