Corporate Gifts Calgary (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website corporategiftscalgary.ca. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information in compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you use our website, fill out our inquiry form, contact us by phone or email, or interact with our services. This includes your name, company name, email address, phone number (if provided), details about your gifting needs (occasion, quantity, budget), and any additional information you choose to share in the message field of our inquiry form.
We also collect certain information automatically when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, time spent on pages, and other standard web analytics data. This information is collected through Google Analytics and cookies as described below.

How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information you provide for the following purposes: to respond to your inquiry and provide you with corporate gift options and pricing; to communicate with you about your gifting needs; to connect you with appropriate vendors from our network who can fulfill your gifting requirements; to improve our website and services; to send you follow-up communications related to your inquiry; and to comply with legal obligations.
We do not use your personal information for purposes unrelated to the services you have requested without first obtaining your consent.

How We Share Your Information

We may share your information with third-party vendors in our network for the sole purpose of fulfilling your corporate gifting inquiry. When we connect you with a vendor, we share only the information necessary for them to provide you with a quote or fulfill your order, such as your name, company name, and gifting requirements. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
We may also share your information with service providers who assist us in operating our website (such as web hosting providers and analytics services), but only to the extent necessary for them to provide their services to us. These service providers are contractually obligated to protect your information.
We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, court order, or government regulation, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

Your personal information is stored on secure servers provided by our web hosting provider, Hostinger, with servers that may be located outside of Canada. By using our website and submitting your information, you consent to this transfer. We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
