Privacy Policy
Last Updated: Holiday Season 2026
1. Privacy by Architecture
At SecretSantaSpin.com, we believe holiday celebrations should be fun, not an excuse to harvest personal data. We designed our generator using client-side algorithms: when you generate a secret match link, the recipient data is encoded directly into a URL hash fragment (#data=...). Because URL hash fragments are handled exclusively inside the user's browser, this data is never sent to or logged on our web servers.
2. Email Addresses & Contact Information
When you optionally input email addresses to generate mailto links or invite friends, your data is used exclusively to facilitate your event. We never sell, rent, license, or share participant email addresses with advertisers, third-party marketing companies, or data brokers.
3. LocalStorage & Multi-Year Groups
If you choose to use the "Save Group for Next Year" feature, the participant names and exclusion rules are stored directly in your web browser's local storage (localStorage). This data stays entirely on your own device and can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser cache.
4. Analytics & Hosting
SecretSantaSpin.com is deployed on Cloudflare Pages edge network. Standard non-identifying telemetry (such as page requests, country code, and anonymous error logs) is processed to maintain uptime and mitigate DDoS attacks.
