Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to provide our service:

Gift request data — The occasion, recipient details, and preferences you enter into the form. This data is sent to our AI provider to generate suggestions and is not stored on our servers after the response is returned.
Usage analytics — We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data such as page views, session duration, and device type. No personally identifiable information is collected.
Server logs — Our servers may temporarily log IP addresses and request metadata for rate limiting and abuse prevention. These logs are not linked to personal identities.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Generate personalised gift suggestions based on the details you provide.
Enforce fair usage limits (daily request caps) to keep the service free for everyone.
Improve our service by understanding how people use it (via anonymous analytics).

Data Storage

Browser storage — Your recent searches are saved in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser data.
Server storage — We log anonymised request metadata (category, timestamp, token counts) for operational monitoring. We do not store the content of your gift requests.
