How Wishlist Foundation Protects Your Information
We realize that our customers trust us to protect their personal information.
We take that task seriously. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural
safeguards to protect your personal information. For example:
We use industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") authentication
to guarantee the confidentiality of online transactions made on our site. SSL
authentication and encryption of the information that you send to us over the
Internet help protect your online transaction information from third party interception.
Unfortunately, despite all of our efforts, there is always a risk that third
parties may unlawfully intercept transmissions. This reality is true of all
Internet use. As a result, we cannot ensure the security of any information
you transmit, and you transmit all information at your own risk.
How Wishlist Foundation Uses Your Personal Information
Wishlist Foundation collects personal information primarily to make our services
more rewarding for you to use. We usually use this information for internal
purposes, such as studying our customers' preferences. We may also use your
information to contact you for account and promotional purposes.
Who Views Your Personal Information
Wishlist Foundation may only share your personal information with companies
that perform services for us, such as fulfilling orders, delivering packages,
sending postal mail and e-mails, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance,

their functions, but may not disclose your personally identifiable information
for other purposes. Wishlist Foundation may share your personal information
with other web sites for research and promotional purposes.
Some personal information is stored on servers owned by other companies. Only
Wishlist Foundation has the right to access this information.
Wishlist Foundation does not currently sell or license personal information.
Before selling or licensing your personal information, we will post a notice

At this time, Wishlist Foundation does not share any personal information with

We will not send you a message if we do this. If you are under 13 and want to
make a purchase, please ask a parent to place the order for you.
