Surprise World

Privacy policy

Last updated: 10 November 2026

Draft — this text will be reviewed by a lawyer before launch and may change.

This policy explains what personal data Surprise World keeps, why, who can see it and how long it stays.

1. What we keep

Your account: name, email, profile photo, city, languages and the handle you choose. Your activity: requests, offers, chat messages, delivery photos, ratings, reports and stories.

Technical data needed to run the service safely, such as sign-in sessions and limits against abuse.

2. Recipients' details

A request contains the recipient's address, phone number and delivery notes. Only the requester and the helper they accept can see them, and only after acceptance.

These details are deleted seven days after the surprise is completed, and seven days after a request is cancelled or expires. Public pages and share images never show them.

3. Photos

Every uploaded photo is re-encoded on our server and its location and camera data are removed. Delivery, receipt and chat photos are visible only to the two members involved and our moderators.

4. How we use it

To run the service: show profiles and requests, send the emails you need about your surprises and the optional city digest, keep the community safe and answer your messages. We do not sell personal data and we do not show advertising.

5. Who helps us

We use a small number of service providers to host and run the service: Cloudflare (hosting and photo storage), Neon (database), Resend (email), Google (optional sign-in) and Sentry (error reports, without message contents or contact details). They process data only on our behalf.

6. Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, a correction or the deletion of your account at any time through the contact page. Some records, such as moderation decisions, may be kept for a limited time where needed for safety or by law.

7. Contact

For any privacy question, write to us through the contact page and choose the topic about your data.
