How we collect, use and protect your account details and the personal memories shared through Christmas Gift Send.
Updated 13 November 2026
Who operates Christmas Gift Send
Christmas Gift Send is owned and operated by T1 Media Ltd (registered in England and Wales, company number 14256641). Our registered office is 2 Freeford Bridge, Tamworth Road, Lichfield, Staffordshire, WS14 9JB, United Kingdom. T1 Media Ltd is the data controller for personal data handled through this service. Contact: rp@t1media.co.uk.
The information we collect
For senders: account email address, verification and authentication details, optional marketing preferences, sender name and gift activity. For gifts: recipient name, recipient email when scheduled sending is selected, personal messages, photographs, videos, voice recordings, chosen date and time zone, gift delivery and opening activity, and thank-you messages. We also process technical diagnostics and security information such as relevant request data to prevent abuse. Optional website analytics are used only where the required cookie consent is given.
How and why we use personal data
We use account details and uploaded gift content to provide the service requested and fulfil our agreement with you; we use technical and anti-abuse information where necessary for our legitimate interests in security and reliability; and we use separately opted-in email addresses for optional newsletters or requests to discuss a promotional feature, where consent is the applicable legal basis. Verifying your address is required for the free gift service, but agreeing to marketing is not. We do not sell personal data.
Recipients and private sharing
A recipient does not need an account to open a gift. Gift links are bearer links: anyone given the link may be able to see its contents after the scheduled release. The person creating the gift decides who receives the link. Recipients may receive a transactional delivery email or an optional Christmas Eve teaser requested by the sender. Gift opening may notify the sender. Only send other people’s photographs or recordings when you have the necessary permission.
Your photos, videos and voice messages
Media is stored as private files with temporary access URLs used to show a gift to its recipient. We do not automatically reuse personal content in adverts, training material or promotional posts. If you agree that we may contact you about featuring a gift, that is only permission to make contact: a separate, specific approval is needed before publication, including the permission of identifiable people where relevant.
Cookies and analytics
Essential storage and cookies may keep you signed in, prevent misuse and remember your cookie settings. Optional analytics are disabled unless you accept them in our cookie controls. You can reject or change your choices at any time using Cookie settings. Read our Cookie Policy.
Who we share information with
We use Base44 and the infrastructure it provides for hosting, authentication, data storage, file delivery and email services. Relevant service providers may process information to provide the service, secure it and deliver messages. We may share information where legally required. We do not share gift content with advertisers.
International visitors and data transfers
Christmas gifts can be sent internationally. Where our infrastructure or service providers process personal information outside the UK, we must rely on an applicable legal transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards. Contact us for information about relevant transfer arrangements.
How long we keep information
We keep account and gift information for as long as needed to provide the service, resolve delivery or support issues, address misuse and comply with legal obligations. The Christmas 2026 version does not currently have a guaranteed automatic deletion or media-expiry date, so do not upload information you are unwilling to have held pending an erasure request. We review retention and respond to deletion requests where applicable. Some service logs and legal records may need to be retained longer.
Your data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances you may request access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability of your information, or object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing. You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner at ico.org.uk. Contact rp@t1media.co.uk with enough details to locate your account or gift.
Children and sensitive content
The sender service is intended for adults; if a gift includes children or other people, ensure you have appropriate permission. Please avoid including government IDs, passwords, bank details or sensitive personal or medical information in gift content.
Updates and contact
We may update this notice if our service or providers change. The current version is dated 13 November 2026. For privacy, content removal or access requests contact rp@t1media.co.uk.
