Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
This policy explains what information Christmas Calling collects and how it is used. The site is published under the name [public name] and is operated by [your legal name or business name] ("we", "us"). Contact: [your contact email].
The short version
- You do not need an account to use the site.
- Our games and tools run in your browser. Names, lists and scores you enter stay on your device.
- Photos you use in the Photo Puzzle and Photo Jigsaw are opened in your browser only. They are never uploaded to us.
- We only use analytics cookies if you accept them.
Information stored on your device
To make the site work, we use your browser's local storage to remember things like your light or dark theme, sound on or off, saved guides, your budget planner, wishlist and gift list, game best scores, daily word progress, and your cookie choice. This stays on your device. You can clear it at any time in your browser settings. It is not sent to us.
Your photos
When you choose a photo for a puzzle, it is processed locally by your browser. It is not uploaded, sent to our servers, or saved, and it disappears when you close or refresh the page. The "Save as image" buttons create a separate result card that does not include your photo. Please only use photos you own or have permission to use, including permission from anyone pictured.
Links you share
Some tools (such as the Wishlist Maker and Secret Santa generator) create links that contain the information you entered. Anyone who has the link can read that information, so share these links only with people you trust. Secret Santa links are not encrypted.
Analytics and cookies
We may use analytics (for example Google Analytics) to understand how the site is used. If analytics is enabled, we will ask for your consent first, and it will only load if you accept. You can change your choice by clearing the site's data in your browser.
Fonts and other third parties
This site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser contacts Google's servers and your IP address is shared with them. Our hosting provider also processes standard server logs (such as IP address and pages requested) to deliver the site and keep it secure. If you use share buttons (for example to Pinterest), you leave our site and that service's own privacy policy applies.
Affiliate links
Some links may be affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, the retailer may set cookies and share information with us about the purchase, but not your personal details. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. See our affiliate disclosure.
If we add an email signup, we will use your address only to send what you signed up for, and you will be able to unsubscribe at any time. If you email us, we use your message and address only to reply.
Children
The site is intended for general audiences, and parents may use it with children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data we hold, or to object to its use. Because we collect very little, there may be nothing to give you, but contact us at [your contact email] and we will respond.
Changes
We may update this policy as the site changes. The date at the top shows the latest update.
