{"page":{"id":69,"title":"Privacy Policy","handle":"privacy-policy","url":"https://warmheartgifts.com/privacy-policy/","body_html":"<p class=\"policy-updated\">Last updated: <time datetime=\"2026-10-22\">October 22, 2026</time></p>\n<p>This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Warm Heart Gifts collects when you visit warmheartgifts.com or order from us, why we collect it, who we share it with, how long we keep it and the choices you have. Personalised gifts carry unusually personal details: the names of children and grandchildren, wedding dates, the dates of a birth or a death. We treat those details with the care they deserve, use them only to make and deliver your gift and to help you afterwards, and never sell them. The business responsible for your information is Warm Heart Gifts, 688 Millsap Road, Fayetteville, AR 72703, US. You can reach us about privacy at <a href=\"mailto:support@warmheartgifts.com\">support@warmheartgifts.com</a>.</p>\n<section class=\"policy-summary\">\n<h2>Privacy at a glance</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What we collect:</strong> your contact and delivery details, the personalisation text you give us, order history, and basic technical data from your browser.</li>\n<li><strong>Why:</strong> to make, ship and support your order, keep the site secure, and meet legal obligations.</li>\n<li><strong>Who sees it:</strong> only the service providers we need to run the shop, such as our hosting, payment and delivery partners.</li>\n<li><strong>What we never do:</strong> sell your information, or use the names and dates on your gift for marketing.</li>\n<li><strong>Your choices:</strong> ask to see, correct, export or delete your information by email at any time.</li>\n</ul>\n</section>\n<h2>1. Information we collect</h2>\n<h3>1.1 Information you give us</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Order details:</strong> your name, email address, billing address, shipping address and, if you choose to give it, a phone number for the carrier.</li>\n<li><strong>Recipient details:</strong> the name and address of the person you are sending a gift to, when that is not you.</li>\n<li><strong>Personalisation text:</strong> the names, dates, places and short lines you ask us to print, and any notes you leave in the Order notes box at checkout.</li>\n<li><strong>Messages:</strong> what you write to us by email or through a support ticket, including photos you send of a damaged or misprinted item.</li>\n<li><strong>Account details:</strong> if you create an account, your login email and a password stored in encrypted form. An account is optional; you can always check out as a guest.</li>\n<li><strong>Reviews:</strong> if you leave a product review, the text, rating and the name you choose to display. Reviews can only be left by verified buyers.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We do not ask for, and ask you not to send us, card numbers, bank details, passwords or government identification numbers by email or ticket.</p>\n<h3>1.2 Information collected automatically</h3>\n<p>When you browse the site, our servers and our content delivery network record standard technical information: your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you request, the time of the request and the page that referred you. This information keeps the site working and secure, helps us find errors and protects us against automated abuse. We do not currently use third-party analytics, advertising pixels or tracking tools.</p>\n<h3>1.3 Information from third parties</h3>\n<p>When a payment provider is connected to the shop, it tells us whether your payment was approved and gives us a transaction reference and the last few digits or type of your payment method. It never shares your full card number with us. Delivery carriers share tracking events for your parcel, such as &#8220;in transit&#8221; or &#8220;delivered&#8221;. If you contact us through a third-party platform, we receive what that platform passes to us.</p>\n<h2>2. How we use your information</h2>\n<table class=\"policy-table\">\n<caption>Why we use each kind of information</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Purpose</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Information used</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Reason we are allowed to</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Making your personalised gift</td>\n<td>Personalisation text, product choices, order notes</td>\n<td>To perform our contract with you</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Delivering your order</td>\n<td>Recipient name, shipping address, phone number if given</td>\n<td>To perform our contract with you</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Payment and fraud prevention</td>\n<td>Billing details, transaction reference, IP address</td>\n<td>Contract and our legitimate interest in preventing fraud</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Order emails and support</td>\n<td>Email address, order history, your messages and photos</td>\n<td>Contract and legitimate interest in helping you</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Returns, refunds and claims</td>\n<td>Order details, photos, return tracking</td>\n<td>Contract and legal obligations</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Site security and error fixing</td>\n<td>Technical data and server logs</td>\n<td>Legitimate interest in a safe, working site</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Accounting and tax records</td>\n<td>Order totals, dates, billing address</td>\n<td>Legal obligation</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>We do not send marketing emails at this time. If we ever offer a newsletter, it will be a separate, unticked choice, and every email will include a one-click unsubscribe link. We will never use the names or dates printed on your gift to market to you or to the recipient.</p>\n<h2>3. How we share information</h2>\n<p>We share personal information only with the service providers who help us run the shop, and only as much as each one needs:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hosting and website software:</strong> our web server in the United States, which stores the site and the order database.</li>\n<li><strong>Content delivery and security:</strong> Cloudflare, which delivers our pages quickly and filters malicious traffic. It processes your IP address and technical request data.</li>\n<li><strong>Web fonts:</strong> our pages load the Playfair Display and Lato typefaces from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address and browser details when a page loads.</li>\n<li><strong>Payment providers:</strong> the provider shown at checkout processes your payment under its own privacy policy.</li>\n<li><strong>Production and delivery partners:</strong> the people who print your gift receive the personalisation text and product choices; the carrier receives the recipient&#8217;s name, address and, if given, phone number.</li>\n<li><strong>Email delivery:</strong> the service that sends our order and support emails processes your email address and the message content.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We may also disclose information when the law requires it, to protect our customers or our business against fraud, or as part of a sale or reorganisation of the business, in which case this policy would continue to apply to your information. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.</p>\n<h2>4. Cookies and similar technologies</h2>\n<p>Our site uses a small number of cookies that are needed for it to work:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cart and session cookies</strong> set by WooCommerce, which remember what is in your cart and keep checkout working.</li>\n<li><strong>Login cookies</strong>, set only if you sign in to an account.</li>\n<li><strong>Security cookies</strong> that our content delivery network may set to tell real visitors from automated traffic.</li>\n<li><strong>Preference storage</strong> for small conveniences such as which accordion you opened.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but the cart and checkout will not work without the essential ones.</p>\n<h2>5. How long we keep information</h2>\n<p>We keep order records, including the personalisation text, for as long as we need them for tax and accounting obligations, usually up to seven years, and so that we can help if you contact us about an older order. Support messages and photos are kept for up to two years after the conversation ends. Server logs are kept for a short period, normally no more than 90 days. If you delete your account, we remove your login details but keep order records we are required to keep.</p>\n<p>If you would like the personalisation text on a past order removed sooner, for example the names on a memorial ornament, write to us. Where the law allows, we will remove or mask it while keeping the rest of the record.</p>\n<h2>6. How we protect information</h2>\n<p>The whole site is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Access to order data is limited to the people who need it to make, ship or support your order, and accounts used to manage the shop are protected with strong passwords. Payment details are handled by the payment provider and never stored on our servers. No system is perfectly secure; if we ever learn of a breach that affects your information, we will tell you and the relevant authorities as the law requires.</p>\n<h2>7. Your rights and choices</h2>\n<p>Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>ask what personal information we hold about you and receive a copy;</li>\n<li>ask us to correct information that is wrong or incomplete;</li>\n<li>ask us to delete your information, subject to records we must keep;</li>\n<li>ask us to limit or object to certain uses, or to export your information in a common format;</li>\n<li>withdraw any consent you have given, without affecting what we did before;</li>\n<li>complain to your local data protection authority.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>To make a request, write to <a href=\"mailto:support@warmheartgifts.com\">support@warmheartgifts.com</a> from the email address used on your order. We may ask a simple question to confirm it is you, and we answer within 30 days. We do not charge for requests and do not treat you differently for making one. Residents of California and other US states with privacy laws, and of Canada, Australia and New Zealand, can use the same address for requests under their local laws.</p>\n<h2>8. Children&#8217;s privacy</h2>\n<p>Our shop is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 who use the site. Names of children often appear in the personalisation text of a gift, because the gift is about them; that text is given to us by the adult who places the order, and we use it only to make the gift. If you believe a child has given us information directly, write to us and we will delete it.</p>\n<h2>9. International visitors</h2>\n<p>Warm Heart Gifts is based in the United States, and our servers are in the United States. If you visit or order from Canada, Australia, New Zealand or elsewhere, your information is transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country. We apply the protections described in this policy wherever your information is handled.</p>\n<h2>10. Links to other sites</h2>\n<p>Our pages may link to carrier tracking pages or payment provider pages. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for how they handle your information. We recommend reading their policies when you visit them.</p>\n<h2>11. Changes to this policy</h2>\n<p>We may update this policy when our services, providers or legal obligations change, for example when a payment provider is connected or if we start offering a newsletter. The date at the top shows the latest version. If a change is significant, we will say so on this page and, where appropriate, by email before it takes effect.</p>\n<h2>12. Contact us</h2>\n<p>For any question about privacy or this policy, write to <a href=\"mailto:support@warmheartgifts.com\">support@warmheartgifts.com</a>, or post to Warm Heart Gifts, 688 Millsap Road, Fayetteville, AR 72703, US.
