With your direction. We may disclose information where necessary to provide a service or transaction that you request, including applicable gift and registry services.

We do not disclose customer lists to third parties for their own independent marketing by mail or email.

8. Retention

We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, then delete or de-identify it.

9. Security

We use physical, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data, including transport-layer encryption, tokenized payment processing, access controls, and monitoring for vulnerabilities.

No internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we learn of a breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and regulators as required by law.

Please do not email us sensitive information such as government identifiers or full card numbers.
