Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information is collected when you visit genderrevealideas.us, how it is used, and the choices available to you. It applies to this website only, and not to any external site you reach through a link here.

1. Information we collect

We aim to collect as little as possible. Information may reach us in three ways:

• Information you give us directly. If you submit the contact form, we receive whatever you type into it, such as your name, email address, chosen subject and message.
• Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard technical data with each request, which may include IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages viewed and timestamps.
• Information from cookies and similar technologies. Described in section 3 and in our Cookie Policy.

What the Gender Reveal Ideas Generator does not collect. The generator runs entirely in your browser. The selections you make are held in memory while the page is open, are never transmitted to us, and are cleared when you refresh or close the page. The same applies to the planning checklist. Neither tool requires an account and neither stores your answers.

2. Contact forms

If you contact us, we use the details you provide solely to respond to your message and, where relevant, to follow up on it. We do not add contact form submissions to a marketing list, and we do not sell or rent your details to anyone.

Depending on the form software in use, submissions may be stored in the website database, forwarded to an email inbox, or both. Please do not send sensitive personal information, financial details or medical information through the form.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. This site may use cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to function, and, where they are in use, cookies for analytics, advertising or remembering preferences.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking cookies will not prevent you from reading this site or using the generator, since neither depends on them. Full details are in our Cookie Policy.

4. Analytics

We may use a web analytics service to understand which pages are read, how visitors arrive, and where the site is not working well. Analytics data is used in aggregate to improve the site, and is not used to identify individual visitors.

5. Advertising

This website may display advertising in order to remain free to use. Where advertising is served by a third-party network, that network may set cookies or use similar technologies to measure performance and, in some cases, to show ads relevant to your interests. These providers act under their own privacy policies, which we do not control.

6. Third-party services

Some parts of this website rely on services operated by others. Depending on what is in use, these may include web hosting, a content delivery network, web fonts, form handling, analytics and advertising. When your browser loads a resource from one of these providers, that provider necessarily receives technical information such as your IP address.

We choose providers with care, but their handling of data is governed by their own policies rather than this one. External links elsewhere on this site, including to suppliers or reference material, are provided for convenience only and are not an endorsement.

7. Data retention

We keep information only for as long as there is a reason to:

• Contact form messages are kept while the enquiry is open and for a reasonable period afterwards, then deleted
• Server logs are retained according to our hosting provider’s standard retention period
• Analytics data is retained according to the analytics provider’s settings
• Generator and checklist selections are never retained at all, because they never leave your browser

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over personal information relating to you. These commonly include the right to request a copy of what is held, to ask for corrections, to ask for deletion, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent where processing relies on it.

To make a request, contact us using the details in section 12. We may need to confirm your identity before acting. If you are unhappy with our response, you may be able to complain to the data protection authority in your country.

9. Children’s privacy

This website is intended for adults planning a celebration. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through this site, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information handled by this site, including serving the site over an encrypted connection and keeping software updated. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please avoid sending confidential information through the contact form.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time, for example if we add a new service or a legal requirement changes. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new date at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated policy, so it is worth checking this page occasionally.

12. Contact

For any question about this policy, or to make a request about your information, contact us at admin@genderrevealideas.com or through the contact page.
