GIFTITPrivacy Policy
Last updated 30 July 2026
GIFTIT is made by Thomas Junior Modeste, a sole trader in the United Kingdom. This policy explains exactly what the app stores, where it lives, who can see it, and how to get rid of it.
The short version. GIFTIT stores what you type into it and nothing else. There are no adverts, no analytics, no tracking, and no third party is ever sold or given your information. You can delete everything, permanently, from inside the app.
What GIFTIT stores
Your account
When you sign in, GIFTIT keeps your email address and the name you give it. You may also choose a username and upload a profile picture. If you sign in with Apple and choose to hide your email, GIFTIT only ever receives Apple's private relay address, never your real one.
The people you add
For each person on your list, GIFTIT stores whatever you enter about them: their name, how they're related to you, their birthday, their interests, clothing or shoe sizes, a photo, your private notes, which occasions you keep for them, and any budget you set.
These details are about other people, and you're the one entering them. Only add what you'd be comfortable keeping in a notebook.
Gift ideas
For each idea: its title, your notes, a price, a web link, a photo, how important it is, whether it's still an idea or bought, wrapped or given, and which occasion it's for.
Sharing a list
If you invite somebody to help plan for a person, GIFTIT stores the email address or username you invited and whether they accepted. Everyone on that list can see the ideas on it and can claim one so nobody buys the same thing. Nobody you haven't invited can see anything.
Purchases
The £7.99 AI Gift Ideas unlock is bought through Apple. Apple handles the payment; GIFTIT never sees your card, address or Apple ID. All GIFTIT keeps is a note that you own the unlock, and Apple's transaction reference so it can be restored on a new phone.
How often you use the AI
GIFTIT counts how many times a month you ask for gift ideas, purely to apply the monthly limit. It's a number, not a record of what you asked.
When information leaves the app
Asking for gift ideas
When you tap Summon gift ideas, GIFTIT sends that one person's details — their name, how they're related to you, their interests, sizes, your notes, the occasion and the budget — to Anthropic, the company behind Claude, so it can write suggestions back.
This only happens when you press that button, and only for the person you pressed it on. Anthropic does not use anything sent through GIFTIT to train its models. Nothing else in your account is ever sent — not your other people, not your account details.
Link previews
When you paste a shop link into a gift idea, GIFTIT fetches that page to pull out its title and picture. The shop sees a request for their own page, and nothing about you.
Sign-in codes and invitations are sent through Brevo, an email service. They handle the delivery of that one message and nothing more.
Where it's kept
Everything is stored on Supabase servers in London, United Kingdom. Access is locked at the database itself: the rules only ever return rows belonging to the person asking, or rows on a list they've been invited to. Photos live in the same place under the same rules.
What GIFTIT does not do
- No adverts, ever.
- No analytics, tracking pixels, or third-party advertising kits.
- No selling, renting or sharing of your information with anyone.
- No building a profile of you, and no following you around other apps or websites.
- No location tracking. GIFTIT never asks for your location.
Your camera and photos
GIFTIT asks for your photo library and camera only so you can attach a picture to a person or a gift idea. It reads the one picture you pick. It cannot browse the rest of your library, and it takes nothing in the background.
Deleting everything
Open the You tab and choose Delete account. Your account, your people, every gift idea, your photos, your invitations and your purchase record are removed immediately and for good. There is no waiting period and no recovery — so be sure.
You can also write to hello@giftitapp.uk and ask for a copy of what's stored about you, or ask for it to be corrected or deleted. Under UK data protection law you're entitled to all three, and it'll be done within one month.
Children
GIFTIT isn't intended for children under 13, and accounts aren't knowingly created for them. If you believe a child has an account, write to the address below and it will be removed.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and the app will say so the next time you open it. Older versions are not kept.
Getting in touch
GIFTIT is run by Thomas Junior Modeste, a sole trader registered in the United Kingdom, who is the data controller for everything described above. The quickest way to reach him — and the right address for any question about your information — is hello@giftitapp.uk. A postal address is available on request.
If you're unhappy with how your information has been handled, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.
