Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

GotFreeECards.com ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at got-free-ecards.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

2. Information We Collect

• Sender information: When you send a card, we collect your name and email address (optional), and the recipient's name and email address.
• Account information: If you create an account, we store your name, email address, and a hashed password.
• Usage data: We log card views and sends to power features like "Most Sent" sorting and send counts shown on card pages.
• Cookies: We use cookies for session management and Google Analytics to understand site traffic. We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To deliver ecards to recipients by email.
• To send you a delivery confirmation email when you send a card.
• To provide account features (sent-card history, reminders).
• To improve our service through anonymised analytics.
• To display relevant advertising via Google AdSense.

4. Face & Photo Card Images

While you are creating and previewing a face ecard or photo card, your photo is handled entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

When you send the card, we upload that photo to our server so your recipient can view it in the delivered card and email. It is stored at a private, randomly-generated link that is not listed anywhere, is never made public or sold, and is automatically deleted after 60 days (after which an old sent card will no longer show the image). If you never send the card, nothing leaves your browser.

5. Third-Party Services

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about site usage.
• Google AdSense: We serve advertisements through Google AdSense, which may use cookies to show relevant ads.
• Google Sign-In: If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive your name and email address from Google.

6. Data Retention

Sent card records are retained to allow account holders to view their card history. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, email us at support@got-free-ecards.com.

8. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised date.
