Wishmunk.com Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Wishmunk. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our wish listing service.

Before we get too deep into the privacy policy, there are a couple of points that should be addressed. A lot of questions will be answered by the following:

  • We actually respect your privacy
  • We only use cookies in ways that respect your privacy

You won't see any cookie pop-ups or GDPR banners here. That's because the only cookies we use are the ones that keep the site working—things like logging you in or remembering a setting you chose. We don’t use cookies to track you around the web, build a profile on you, or sell your data. Nothing sneaky, nothing to "consent" to—just the basics to make the site run smoothly.

Moreover, we have specifically chosen to work with vendors who also believe that, and we hope people value it, but it isn't a pretend marketing point for us -- we just think that business can be better than it is.

This is probably an odd diatribe for a usually boring privacy policy, but it's important to us, and I figure if you are actually reading our privacy policy, then it's probably pretty important to you too. Now, on to the details:
