Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
Our Privacy Philosophy
At Group eCard Creator, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. We've designed our service to collect as little personal information as possible while still providing you with a great experience. This policy explains exactly what we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it.
Information We Collect
Account Information (Optional)
If you choose to create an account, we collect:
- • Email address (for account recovery and important notifications)
- • Password (encrypted and never stored in plain text)
- • Account creation date
Card Content
When you create or contribute to cards, we store:
- • Card titles and themes
- • Messages and content you add to cards
- • Images and media files you upload
- • Names associated with contributions (only what you provide)
Technical Information
Like most websites, we automatically collect some technical information:
- • IP address (for security and analytics)
- • Browser type and version
- • Device information (mobile, desktop, etc.)
- • Usage patterns (which features are used most)
What We DON'T Collect
We believe in minimal data collection. Here's what we specifically don't collect:

- • Browsing history from other websites

- • Legal requirements: If required by law or to protect our users' safety
- • Service providers: With trusted partners who help us run the service (they're bound by strict privacy agreements)

Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we'll post the new version on this page and update the "last updated" date.
