Privacy Policy
Last updated September 26, 2026
GiftYourGiftCard (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates a platform that lets you donate unused prepaid gift card balances to registered charities. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and who we share it with.
Information We Collect
- Account information: name, email address, and password when you create an account.
- Profile information: phone number and mailing address, if you choose to add them, for your own donation record-keeping.
- Donation information: the charity you select, the amount donated, and the date and status of each donation.
- Payment information: card details are entered directly into Stripe's secure payment form and sent straight to Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
- Communications: information you provide through our contact form or newsletter signup.
- Usage information: if you accept analytics cookies, the pages you view, the link or post that brought you here, your approximate location (country and region, from your IP address), and your device and browser type. We also record when a donation is completed, along with its amount and the charity, so we can tell which of our posts and links actually lead to donations. This is never linked to your name or email address.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to process donations, maintain your account and donation history, calculate and credit loyalty points, respond to your requests, and send you a tax receipt when you request one. We do not sell your personal information.
Who We Share It With
- Stripe — processes your payment. See Stripe's privacy policy.
- Pledge (pledge.to) — disburses your donation to the charity you select and, if requested, emails you an official tax receipt. Your name and email are shared with Pledge to complete this. See Pledge's privacy policy.
- Supabase — hosts our database and handles account authentication.
- Sentry collects technical error reports when something goes wrong on our website or in our app, so we can find and fix it. Reports include the error and the page or screen it happened on. Personal details are stripped out before a report is sent, and reports are never used for advertising. See Sentry's privacy policy.
Your mailing address, if provided, is kept for your own records only and is not sent to Pledge or to any charity.
Analytics and Advertising
These run only if you accept them when asked. You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie Preferences link in the footer. Declining changes nothing about how the site works, and donating never requires accepting them.
- Vercel Web Analytics counts page views and where visitors arrive from. It sets no cookies, assigns no identifier, and is never used for advertising, so it runs whether or not you accept the others.
- Google Analytics reports how the site is used overall. Until you accept, it runs in Google's consent mode: no cookies are set and no identifier is stored. See Google's privacy policy.
- Meta and TikTok measure how well our posts and ads on those platforms work, including whether a visit led to a donation. These load only after you accept. See Meta's privacy policy and TikTok's privacy policy.
Your name, email address and payment details are never sent to any of these. Donation amounts are, without anything identifying who made them.
Cookies
We use a session cookie, set by our authentication provider (Supabase), to keep you signed in, and we store your cookie choice in your browser so we don't have to ask again. If you accept analytics and advertising cookies, Google, Meta and TikTok set their own as described above. If you decline, none of those are set.
Your Choices
You can view, edit, or delete your profile information at any time from your account page, unsubscribe from our newsletter using the link in any email we send, control whether a tax receipt is emailed to you for each donation, and accept or decline analytics and advertising cookies using the Cookie Preferences link in the footer. To request deletion of your account entirely, contact us using the details below.
