Privacy and your data
What the site stores, who can see it, and how to delete all of it.
The short version: your data is yours, nobody buys it, and you can take it all back at any time. The privacy policy is the formal version; this is the plain one.
What's stored
The things you typed: your lists and gifts, your circles and who's in them, gift log entries, family profiles you manage, and your settings. Your name and email come from the account you signed in with.
Who can see it
- Your lists — nobody, until you share one with a circle. Then everyone in that circle.
- Your reservations — everyone in the circle except the person whose list it is. See surprise protection.
- Your gift log — you alone, unless you share a log with a circle. Hiding places stay private even then.
- A child's profile — you and any other guardians, plus any circle a list for them is shared with.
The site emails you when you're invited to a circle, and when a name draw happens. Those come with taking part.
Reminders about birthdays and occasions are separate and off unless you turn them on, in your profile. Every reminder carries a one-click unsubscribe that works without signing in.
Analytics
The site can measure which pages get used, and asks first. Nothing is measured until you say yes, choosing later is fine, and you can change your mind on the privacy page whenever you like. Declining costs you nothing — the whole site works either way.
Deleting everything
Profile → Erase all my data. There are two confirmations, deliberately worded differently so you can't clear them on autopilot.
It removes your lists, gifts, reservations, gift logs, settings, circles that only you host, and family profiles only you manage.
It deliberately does not remove things other people depend on: a circle someone else co-hosts survives for them, and a child's profile with another guardian stays with that guardian. Deleting your account shouldn't delete somebody else's family.
This can't be undone.
