1. Who We Are

This website (fake-santa.com and letter.christmas) is operated by fake-santa.com. We act as a "Digital Elf Service" to help parents manage Christmas wishlists.

2. The Data We Collect

We believe in minimizing data. We only collect what is necessary to deliver the magic letter to you.

A. Information You (The Parent) Provide
Your Email Address: Required to send you the final wishlist and shopping links.

B. Information Processed via letter.christmas
First Name: That you know from whom the letter is. We do not ask the child for their full name, address, or age.
Wishlist Content: Content addressed to Santa and wishlist items with optional descriptions and links.
Usage Data: Minimal technical logs (IP address, browser type) to ensure the site functions and to prevent abuse.

3. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without parental consent.

• Parental Supervision: This service is designed to be used by parents with their children. The "Magic Link" is generated by the parent.
• No Hidden Tracking: We do not track children across the web or build profiles on them.
• Data Minimization: We strongly advise parents to ensure their children do not enter sensitive info (like home addresses or phone numbers) into the letter field.

4. How We Use the Data

• To Deliver the Service: We analyze the text in the letter to identify requested toys/items.
• To Generate Links: We use an algorithm to match those items with Amazon product links.
• To Notify You: We email the final list to the address you provided.

We DO NOT sell, rent, or trade your email address or the child's wishlist data to third parties.

5. Amazon Affiliate Disclosure

We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.

• When you click a link in the email or on our dashboard, you are redirected to Amazon.
• Amazon may place a cookie on your device to track that the referral came from us (so we can earn a commission).
• We do not share your email or personal data with Amazon directly.

6. Data Retention

We don't want your data forever.

• Wishlist Data: Is automatically deleted from our servers 90 days after the letter is sent.
• Email Address: We keep your email only as long as necessary to send the wishlist. If you opt-in to a newsletter (optional), we keep it until you unsubscribe.

7. Your Rights

Since we operate in the EU, you have the right to:

• Access: Ask what data we have on you.
• Delete: Request that we delete your data immediately ("The Right to be Forgotten").
• Rectify: Correct any wrong information.

To exercise these rights, email us at: renny@fake-santa.com

8. Cookies

We use minimal cookies necessary for the site to function (e.g., keeping the session active while writing the letter). We do not use invasive third-party tracking pixels.
