Gifting Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 30, 2026

Taharka Brothers (“Taharka Brothers,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this gifting website and related gifting services, including corporate gifting, holiday gifting, bulk gifting, e-gifting, and other gift-order services (collectively, the “Gifting Services”).

Our Gifting Services are supported by Zest, a third-party gifting technology platform that helps us provide features such as gift ordering, multiple-recipient orders, recipient information collection, gift messages, scheduled gifting, order tracking, and other gifting-related services.

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose personal information when you visit or use our Gifting Services, place a gift order, receive a gift, provide recipient information, or otherwise communicate with us regarding our gifting program.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using the Gifting Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understand the collection, use, and disclosure practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Personal Information We Collect or Process

When we use the term “personal information,” we mean information that identifies, relates to, or can reasonably be linked to an individual.

Depending on how you interact with our Gifting Services, we may collect or process the following categories of personal information:

  • Purchaser and Business Contact Information: Name, company or organization name, job title, billing address, shipping address, email address, and phone number.

  • Gift Recipient Information: Recipient name, email address, phone number, shipping address, company or organization, and other information necessary to deliver or coordinate a gift.

  • Gift Information: Gift selections, recipient lists, gift messages, requested delivery dates, gift customizations, and other information associated with a gift order.

  • Payment and Transaction Information: Billing information, payment details, transaction information, payment confirmation, invoice information, and order history.

  • Account Information: Login information, account preferences, saved gifting projects, and other information associated with your gifting account, when applicable.

  • Communications With Us: Information you provide when contacting Taharka Brothers regarding a gifting inquiry, corporate gifting project, customer service request, order, or other communication.

  • Device and Technical Information: Information about the device, browser, network connection, IP address, and other identifiers used to access the Gifting Services.

  • Usage Information: Information regarding how you interact with and navigate the Gifting Services.

Information About Gift Recipients

Our Gifting Services allow purchasers, including businesses and organizations, to provide information about other individuals so that Taharka Brothers can send gifts to those recipients.

If you provide us with another person's personal information, such as their name, email address, phone number, or shipping address, you are responsible for ensuring that you are authorized to provide that information for the purpose of sending or coordinating the gift.

In some cases, recipients may be invited to provide their own shipping or contact information directly through the gifting experience.

Recipient information will be used primarily to coordinate, process, fulfill, ship, and communicate about the applicable gift.

How We Collect Personal Information

We may collect personal information:

  • Directly from you when you use our Gifting Services, submit a gifting inquiry, create an order, upload recipient information, communicate with us, or otherwise provide information to us.

  • From a gift purchaser, company, employer, organization, or other person arranging a gift for you.

  • Directly from a gift recipient when the recipient provides information necessary to claim or receive a gift.

  • Automatically when you access or use the Gifting Services, including through cookies and similar technologies.

  • From service providers that help us operate our gifting program, process payments, fulfill orders, provide technology services, or ship products.

  • From other partners or third parties as permitted by applicable law.

How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

  • Process corporate, holiday, individual, and bulk gifting orders.

  • Fulfill and ship gifts to one or multiple recipients.

  • Collect or verify recipient shipping information.

  • Process payments and invoices.

  • Schedule gift deliveries.

  • Deliver e-gifts, gift notifications, or gift messages.

  • Provide shipping and tracking updates.

  • Communicate with purchasers and recipients regarding their gifts or orders.

  • Provide customer service and respond to questions or requests.

  • Maintain records of gifting projects and transactions.

  • Improve our Gifting Services and customer experience.

  • Prevent fraud, misuse, unauthorized transactions, or other potentially harmful activity.

  • Comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, and contractual obligations.

Corporate and Bulk Gifting

Businesses and organizations may use our Gifting Services to send gifts to employees, customers, clients, partners, vendors, or other recipients.

Corporate purchasers may provide recipient information individually or through bulk uploads or recipient lists. This information may include names, shipping addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, gift selections, and personalized gift messages.

We use this information to administer and fulfill the gifting project and provide related services.

E-Gifting

Certain gifting options may allow a purchaser to send a gift through email, text message, or another digital method rather than providing the recipient's shipping address at checkout.

In these situations, we may use the recipient's email address or phone number to notify them of the gift and allow them to provide the information necessary to receive it.

How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information when necessary to operate and fulfill our Gifting Services, including:

  • Zest and technology providers that support our gifting website and gifting experience.

  • Payment processors and financial service providers that process payments or invoices.

  • Shipping and fulfillment providers that help us prepare, ship, track, and deliver gift orders.

  • IT, cloud storage, analytics, customer support, and other service providers that perform services on our behalf.

  • Business and marketing partners, where permitted by law and consistent with applicable consent and preference requirements.

  • Government authorities or other parties when required to comply with applicable law, legal process, or regulatory requirements.

  • Business transaction participants in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, bankruptcy, sale, or other business transaction.

We may also disclose information when you direct us to do so or otherwise consent to the disclosure.

Relationship With Zest

Taharka Brothers uses Zest to support portions of our online gifting experience.

When you interact with our Gifting Services, certain information may be collected, stored, transmitted, or processed through Zest in order to provide gifting functionality, including recipient management, gifting projects, e-gifting, address collection, gift messages, order management, tracking, and related services.

Zest may process information in accordance with its own privacy practices and its agreements with Taharka Brothers. We encourage you to review any privacy information provided by Zest regarding its processing practices.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Our Gifting Services may contain links to websites, platforms, or services operated by third parties.

If you access a third-party website or service, its privacy practices and terms may apply. Taharka Brothers is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of third-party websites or services that we do not control.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Gifting Services, remember preferences, understand how visitors interact with the website, improve performance, provide security, and, where permitted, support marketing and advertising.

Your browser or device may provide controls that allow you to limit or block certain cookies.

Marketing Communications

We may use contact information to communicate with customers about Taharka Brothers products, gifting opportunities, promotions, or other offerings where permitted by law.

You may unsubscribe from promotional email communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided in those communications.

Gift recipients will not automatically be enrolled in Taharka Brothers promotional marketing solely because another person sent them a gift unless they separately consent or applicable law otherwise permits such communications.

We may still send non-promotional communications that are necessary to administer an order or gift.

Security and Retention

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information.

However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our Gifting Services, fulfill orders, maintain appropriate business and transaction records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may provide you with certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include:

  • The right to request access to personal information we maintain about you.

  • The right to request deletion of certain personal information.

  • The right to request correction of inaccurate personal information.

  • The right to obtain a copy of certain personal information.

  • The right to opt out of certain uses of personal information for targeted advertising, sale, or sharing where applicable.

  • The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

These rights are not absolute and may apply only in certain circumstances.

We may need to verify your identity before processing a privacy request.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights provided by applicable law.

Children's Privacy

Our Gifting Services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age required by applicable law.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through our Gifting Services, please contact us.

International Data Processing

Some service providers supporting our Gifting Services may process or store information in locations outside of the state, country, or region where you live.

Where required, personal information transferred internationally will be handled using appropriate safeguards under applicable law.
