Privacy Policy

Website Visitors

Like many other online platforms, WishMerge collects non-personally-identifying information typically provided by web browsers and servers. This includes details such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Collecting this non-personally identifying information is to understand better how WishMerge's visitors utilize its platform. Occasionally, WishMerge may disclose non-personally identifying information in an aggregated form, for instance, by sharing a report on usage trends of its platform. WishMerge also gathers potentially personally identifying data like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for users who are logged in and for users sending or receiving gifts on WishMerge. WishMerge discloses logged-in user IP addresses under the same conditions that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described further in this policy. Please note that user IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of WishMerge, and are handled by payment processors when processing transactions.

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information

Certain users interacting with WishMerge's platform might need to provide personally identifiable information. The extent and type of information that WishMerge collects depend on the nature of the interaction. For instance, we request users who register on WishMerge.com to provide a username and email address. Those who participate in transactions with WishMerge are asked to provide additional information, including the necessary personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, WishMerge collects such information only to the extent that is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the user's interaction with WishMerge. WishMerge does not disclose personally identifiable information other than as described in our full privacy policy. Users always have the option to decline providing personally identifiable information, with the understanding that it may hinder them from participating in certain platform-related activities.

Compiled Data

WishMerge may gather data about the behavior of visitors on its platform. WishMerge may publicly display this information or share it with others. However, WishMerge does not disclose personally-identifying information unless otherwise stated in this policy.

Safeguarding Your Personal Information

WishMerge discloses potentially personal and personally identifiable information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know this information to process it on WishMerge's behalf or to provide services available at WishMerge's platform, and (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using WishMerge's platform, you consent to transfer such information to them. WishMerge will not rent or sell potentially personal and personally identifiable information to anyone. Apart from its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, WishMerge discloses potentially personal and personally identifiable information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental requests or when WishMerge believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of WishMerge, third parties, or the public at large. If you are a registered user of WishMerge and have provided your email address, WishMerge may occasionally send you an email to inform you about new features, solicit your feedback, or keep you updated with what's going on with WishMerge and our services. If you send us a request (for example, via email or through one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. WishMerge takes all necessary measures to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personal and personally identifiable information.
