Recipient Information
Because Boston Baskets is a gifting website, customers may provide personal information about gift recipients. This may include a recipient’s name, delivery address, phone number, company or building details, delivery instructions, and other information needed to complete the order.
If you provide recipient information, you are responsible for ensuring that you have the authority or appropriate basis to provide that information to us for order fulfillment and delivery purposes.
We use recipient information primarily to prepare, coordinate, deliver, track, and support the order. We do not require recipients to create an account to receive a gift basket.
Personalized Gift Messages
If you include a personalized greeting message or gift note with an order, we use that information to prepare and deliver the message with the gift basket. Personalized messages may be visible to fulfillment staff, delivery-related providers, and the recipient.
You should not include sensitive personal information in a gift message unless you are comfortable with that information being used and disclosed as needed to prepare and deliver the order.
