Privacy Policy
Version 2026.2.17 · Effective February 17, 2026
GiftVault makes it easy to discover and try new brands by delivering exclusive gift rewards to customers through the online stores they already shop at.
If you've received a GiftVault reward pass via email or at checkout, we may collect your name, email address, and order information to verify your eligibility and deliver your rewards. We may also collect preferences to match you with the best available gifts — like gift cards, discounts, free products, and more.
We invite you to read this Privacy Policy, which explains how VEP Technologies LLC ("GiftVault," "us," "our," and "we") collects, uses, discloses, and shares your Personal Information. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, your "Personal Information" includes any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could be reasonably linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household.
California Privacy Statement
California Residents: Please see our California Privacy Statement and Notice at Collection below.
GiftVault's Business
GiftVault provides an online platform ("GiftVault Platform") that enables customers to discover new brands and receive exclusive gift rewards. We partner with third-party ecommerce businesses ("Publishers") who distribute reward passes to their customers, and third-party brands ("Advertisers") who provide promotional offers, gift cards, discounts, and free products ("Gifts") displayed on the GiftVault Platform (together, our "Services").
Publishers integrate GiftVault into their online stores via our Shopify application and other integrations, enabling their customers to receive reward passes automatically with qualifying purchases. As part of the Services, you may choose to sign up to receive communications from Advertisers or Publishers online (mobile web and desktop web), through email, phone, or SMS mobile text messages.
Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Policy applies to all users of GiftVault's website published at https://www.giftvault.co/, GiftVault's platform integrations, Shopify application, social media accounts, as well as GiftVault technology that is integrated on our Publishers' websites, emails, and checkout experiences that are branded "GiftVault" (collectively, "GiftVault Sites") and link to or reference this Privacy Policy.
Additionally, this Privacy Policy applies to individuals who engage with GiftVault on behalf of their company or employer in business dealings with GiftVault. This Privacy Policy does not apply where GiftVault processes your Personal Information on behalf of any Publishers or Advertisers to enable them to serve their own marketing information or promotional offers other than Gifts through the GiftVault Sites. Further, this Privacy Policy does not apply to Advertisers' fulfillment of Gifts. Please consult the privacy policies or notices of those Publishers and Advertisers to understand how they use your Personal Information.
International Data Transfer
If you use or access GiftVault Sites from outside the United States, we will store, process, and use your Personal Information in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, you acknowledge and agree that the laws in your geographic location may differ from United States law and you agree that GiftVault may transfer your Personal Information outside of your geographic location to the United States for storage and processing. You further agree that you consent to that transfer, storage, and processing into the United States according to the laws applicable in your location.
The Choice is Yours
There is no obligation for you to sign up for or claim a Gift. When you receive a reward pass or sign up to claim a Gift, you may provide us with your Personal Information (as set forth in "Ways We Collect Your Personal Information").
By providing us your Personal Information, you consent to us collecting, storing, and using that Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. We may share your Personal Information, where applicable, with the Advertiser offering the Gift so that they may provide further information associated with such Gift, and then fulfill such Gift. There are no negative consequences if you do not claim a Gift.
Ways We Collect Your Personal Information
1. When You Give It to Us or Give Us Permission to Obtain It
