Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 1, 2026

1. Introduction

GiftIdea (“we”, “our”, or “the app”) is a web application that helps users find personalized gift ideas. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following information when you use the app:

  • Information you provide: Details you enter about gift recipients (name, relationship, interests, personality, budget, occasion, and any notes). This information is used only to generate gift recommendations.
  • Saved profiles: If you choose to save a recipient profile, that data is stored locally in your browser (localStorage) on your device. We do not store these profiles on our servers.
  • Usage data: Basic technical information such as browser type and pages visited may be collected by our hosting provider (Vercel) for performance and security purposes.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To generate personalized gift recommendations using artificial intelligence.
  • To improve the app experience.
  • We do not sell your personal information.
  • We do not share recipient details with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. AI Processing

When you request gift ideas, the information you provide is sent to OpenAI’s API so the AI can generate recommendations. OpenAI processes this data according to their own privacy policy and data usage policies. We only send the information necessary to create the recommendations.

5. Affiliate Links

GiftIdea participates in the Amazon Associates Program. Some links in the app are affiliate links. This means we may earn a small commission if you click a link and make a purchase on Amazon, at no extra cost to you.

6. Cookies and Local Storage

The app uses your browser’s localStorage to save recipient profiles if you choose to save them. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser data or deleting the profiles inside the app.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information processed by the app. Because recipient profiles are stored only on your device, you remain in control of that data.

8. Children’s Privacy

GiftIdea is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will reflect any changes.
