At GiftList & WishList Maker ("we", "our", or "the App"), accessible via our Android application and our website (giftlist-wishlist-maker.vercel.app), protecting the privacy of our visitors and users is one of our highest priorities.
This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected, how it is used, and the privacy safeguards we maintain.
1. Information We Collect
A. Mobile Application (Local-First Architecture)
GiftList & WishList Maker is built on a local-first, privacy-respecting architecture:
- Event & Budget Data: All event names, dates, recipient names, assigned spending budgets, candidate gifts, and notes that you enter are stored locally on your device's internal SQLite database (via Android Room).
- No Cloud Accounts Required: You do not need to register with an email address, password, or phone number to use the core features of the app.
- URL Metadata Fetching: When you share or paste a web product link (such as Amazon or eBay) to create a gift card, the app connects directly to the public web page to extract Open Graph metadata (title, image URL, and price). We do not log or track your personal browsing history.
B. Companion Website & Server Logs
When you browse our companion website hosted on Vercel, standard internet log information may be collected automatically, including:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address
- Browser type and operating system
- Date and time of visit, and referring/exit pages
These logs are used exclusively for technical diagnostics, security monitoring, and maintaining site uptime.
2. Third-Party Links & Affiliate Cookies
Our application and website contain links to third-party e-commerce retailers and affiliate networks, including but not limited to Amazon.com, eBay.com, and Awin partner merchant stores.
When you click on an external merchant link:
- You will be directed to the third-party merchant's platform (either via your web browser or their dedicated mobile app).
- These merchant platforms and affiliate networks (such as Amazon Associates, eBay Partner Network, and Awin) may use cookies, web beacons, or tracking tags to monitor referral activity and credit eligible purchases to our affiliate account.
- We encourage you to review the privacy policies of Amazon, eBay, Awin, and any other third-party retailer you interact with, as their data collection practices are governed by their respective policies.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use collected data solely to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the functionality of the App and Website.
- Enable product link previews and metadata extraction.
- Respond to your direct customer support inquiries sent to
[email protected]. - Ensure compliance with affiliate network policies and legal standards.
4. Data Retention & Deletion
Since all gift list and budget data is stored locally on your Android device:
- You can delete individual events, recipients, or gift items at any time directly within the app interface.
- Uninstalling the application or clearing the app storage in your Android device settings completely purges all stored data from your device.
5. Children's Online Privacy Protection (COPPA)
GiftList & WishList Maker does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that your child has provided personal information to our website or app, please contact us immediately, and we will promptly take steps to remove such information.
6. GDPR and California Privacy Rights (CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) regarding your personal data. Because we do not store personal profiles or sell consumer data, our operations are inherently aligned with privacy principles. If you wish to exercise any legal rights, you may contact us at any time.
