Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy covers HotGiftCards.net's treatment of personally identifiable information that HotGiftCards.net collects when you agree to receive e-mail marketing from one of our websites or partner websites. "Partner Websites or Third Parties" refers to any advertiser that you might have opted into during your visit to our sites or third parties that HotGiftCards.net uses as our Email Service Provider. It is important that visitors are fully informed about the use of their personal information. HotGiftCards.net believes in 100% permission-based marketing. All email correspondence comes from our domain name HotGiftCards.net

This Privacy Policy also applies to consumers that have agreed to receive e-mail marketing from HotGiftCards.net and our partner websites. We may work with other businesses to bring select retail opportunities to our users. These businesses may include, but are not limited to: a) providers of direct marketing services and applications, including lookup and reference, data enhancement, suppression and validation; (b) e-mail marketers; and (c) telemarketers.

We may also employ other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples include sending direct and electronic mail, removing duplicate information from user lists, analyzing data, and providing marketing analysis. These agents have access to our users' personal information as needed to perform their functions for HotGiftCards.net, but we do not permit them to use your personal information for any other purpose.

Users may remove themselves from a specific mailing list by utilizing the unsubscribe options that are present and available at the end of each e-mail that HotGiftCards.net sends.

You may unsubscribe from any of our e-mail marketing programs at any time. In every e-mail communication we send, there is an unsubscribe hyperlink that allows the recipient to unsubscribe from that specific marketing program by simply clicking the hyperlink provided and following the instructions provided.

We can guarantee that if you should ever receive another e-mail communication from HotGiftCards.net you will be able to remove your e-mail address via the unsubscribe hyperlink. Everythereis.net is able to offer its free services, in part, based upon the willingness of our users to be contacted by our marketing partners, including affiliated third party advertisers.
