Privacy Policy

What we collect, why, who sees it and how you can control it.

Who we are

Patuxent Gift Market ("we", "us") runs a marketplace for handmade gifts. Contact us at [email protected], 9101 Cherry Ln, Laurel, MD 20708, or (301) 604-3986.

What we collect

From you. A gift request or message gives us your name, phone number and email address (one is enough), the occasion, who the gift is for, your budget, the date you need it and anything you write. Please do not enter passwords or card numbers; this site does not take payments.

Automatically. Our server logs your IP address, browser, the pages you open and when. If you arrive from an ad we may see the campaign that sent you. Advertising and measurement tools may collect similar technical data through cookies (see the Cookie Policy).

How we use it

  • To reply to your request, prepare offers and, if you accept one, carry out the order.
  • To keep the site secure and free of spam.
  • To measure and improve our advertising.
  • To meet legal duties such as tax and records.

We do not sell personal information and do not use your request for unrelated marketing.

Calls and texts

If you give a phone number and tick the consent box, you agree that we may call or text that number about your request, including with automated technology. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to a text or tell us on a call and we will stop.

Who else sees it

Makers receive only what they need to fill an order you accept (for example your name, shipping address and personalization text). Service providers such as hosting, email, payment and shipping companies see what they need for their work. We may disclose information when the law requires it or to protect people or rights.

How long we keep it

Requests and messages are kept for as long as we need them to help you, and order records for as long as tax and accounting rules require. Ask us if you want something deleted sooner.

Your choices and state privacy rights

Depending on your state (for example Maryland, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and others) you may be able to ask what personal information we hold, have it corrected or deleted, and opt out of sale, sharing or targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information. Email [email protected] to make a request. We may need to verify your identity, and you may appeal our decision by replying to our answer. We do not treat people differently for using these rights.

For ad choices use your browser or device settings, the Cookie Policy or Google’s Ads Settings.

Security and children

We use reasonable safeguards, though no system is completely secure. The site is for adults and is not directed to children under 13.

Updates

We will post any change here with a new date. Questions: [email protected].
