Privacy policy

Last updated October 1, 2026

Gift a Goblin is a small gift shop. We collect only what we need to deliver a gift, we don’t sell or rent anyone’s information, and we don’t use advertising or tracking cookies.

What we collect, and why

When you gift a goblin

• Your name and the recipient’s name. These are shown publicly with the goblin (“From Alex to Sam”) on its page and in Recently gifted. Don’t use a name you want kept private.
• Your email address. For your receipt and a backup of the gift link. We don’t add it to any list unless you tick “Send me news from the Hollow”.
• The recipient’s email address, if you choose “Email it to them”. We use it once, to send them their gift. It’s never shown publicly and never added to a list.
• Your message. Private: only the person holding the gift link sees it.
• A suggested goblin name, if you give one, and the name the recipient chooses. Goblin names are public.
• Payment. Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store card numbers. (While the site is in testing, no payment is taken.)

Private gift links

Each gift has a private link. We store only a scrambled fingerprint of it (a hash), not the link itself, so not even we can recover it; that’s why it’s in your receipt email. Anyone who has the link can open the gift, name the goblin and see the message, so share it only with the recipient.

News from the Hollow

If you opt in (as a buyer, on your goblin’s page, or on the waitlist for the next hollow), we keep your email address, when you signed up and where. We’ll only send occasional news about Gift a Goblin, and every email will let you unsubscribe.

Anonymous counts

To see what’s working, we count a few steps, like a page being viewed, a card being saved or a share button being pressed, along with the goblin involved and the website that sent the visit (just its name, such as “tiktok.com”). These counts don’t include cookies, your IP address or anything else that identifies you or your device. If your browser sends a “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signal, we don’t count your visit at all. Our host, Cloudflare, also gives us overall visit statistics without cookies or tracking individuals.

What we don’t collect

No accounts, no passwords, no advertising trackers, no cookies. Your browser remembers the gifts you’ve opened or bought (so “My goblin” can take you back), using its own local storage on your device; we can’t see it, and clearing your browser data removes it.

Who helps us run the site

We use a few service providers, who process information only to provide their service to us:

• Cloudflare hosts the website and provides our anonymous visit statistics.
• Supabase stores gifts and the news list (servers in the United States).
• Resend sends gift and receipt emails.
• Stripe processes payments.
• Google Fonts serves the site’s fonts, so your browser connects to Google when pages load.

Like any website, these services see technical details such as your IP address and browser type when you visit.

How long we keep things

Gift details stay for as long as the goblin lives in the Hollow, since that’s what its page shows. Copies of gift emails (which contain the private link) are deleted from our systems once they’re sent. News subscriptions last until you unsubscribe. Payment records are kept as long as the law requires.

Your choices

• Ask us to see, correct or delete your information, or to hide the names on a gift: email support@giftagoblin.com.
• Unsubscribe from news at any time.
• Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK or California), you may have further rights, including to complain to your data protection authority.

Children

Goblins make lovely gifts for children, but gifts should be bought by adults, and the site isn’t meant to collect personal information from children under 13. If you gift a goblin to a child, you may use a parent’s email address to deliver it. If you believe a child has given us their information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Changes

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top. Big changes will be announced on the site.
