Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-06-02. These terms are written to be fair and readable, but they are not a substitute for legal advice. They should be reviewed by a licensed attorney before broad public launch given the AI, photo, and subscription features described below.

Our promise about your bio data

We don’t sell your bio data. Ever. Your peeps’ favorite colors, where they vacation, what they love, what they avoid — none of it is ever sold, rented, shared with data brokers, traded with marketing partners, or used for advertising of any kind. Bio data is used for exactly one purpose: tailoring gift picks for you, by you, inside Gift Pong.

Necessary processors (the only external services that see bio data)

To work at all, the app passes bio data through three contractually-bound processors. None of them are permitted to sell, share, or repurpose it:

1. Supabase — our database. Stores bios with row-level security so only the owner can read their own slices.
2. Anthropic (Claude AI) — generates gift suggestions. Bio context is included in the prompt. Anthropic does not train on API data and deletes prompts within 30 days. Their terms prohibit onward sale.
3. Google (Gemini AI) — generates greeting-card artwork. May see small bio fragments. Paid-tier prompts are not used for training and are deleted within 24 hours.

If any of these vendors ever changes their terms to allow selling customer data, we will migrate off them. This is a hard commitment.

The only money tied to user activity is the affiliate commission paid by Amazon / Etsy / Google when a Buy link is clicked. Those merchants never see bio data.

This promise is also published at /privacy and surfaced inline on every bio surface so it never has to be hunted for.

1. Use of the service

Gift Pong (giftpong.com) lets you create personalized greeting cards and AI-generated gift suggestions. By using the service, you agree to use it lawfully and not to:

• Upload abusive, harassing, defamatory, illegal, or hateful content
• Upload, create, or share any sexual or pornographic content, nudity, or sexually suggestive imagery — and absolutely never any content that sexualizes a minor (child sexual abuse material is illegal and is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children)
• Create or share non-consensual intimate imagery or sexualized “deepfakes” of any real person
• Upload a photo of another person, or use their face or likeness, without that person’s permission; use the service to harass, stalk, or impersonate another person
• Generate cards depicting real public figures or celebrities, or third-party trademarked or copyrighted characters, logos, or brands
• Depict graphic violence, gore, or self-harm
• Attempt to circumvent any security, content-safety, or rate-limit mechanisms
• Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the service

2. Your content; license you grant us

You keep ownership of the answers you submit (the “User Content”). By submitting User Content, you represent that you have the right to submit it and you grant Gift Pong a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and process the User Content for the purpose of generating and delivering the resulting card and gift suggestions.

If your User Content contains copyrighted material from a third party (song lyrics, movie quotes, etc.), you confirm you have the right to use it for personal non-commercial purposes. Don’t paste in things you don’t have rights to.

3. AI-generated output

The card message and gift suggestions are produced by an AI model based on your inputs. You may use the resulting card for personal, non-commercial purposes. We do not claim copyright in AI-generated output you create through the service. Output may not always be perfect, accurate, or to your taste — treat it as a draft you can edit and reshare.

You agree not to use AI-generated output from Gift Pong for unlawful, defamatory, or commercial-resale purposes (selling AI-generated cards as a competing product is not permitted).

4. Trademarks and brand names

Gift Pong is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of the brands or retailers that appear in gift suggestions. Brand names are referenced for identification purposes only (nominative fair use). All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

5. Affiliate links and disclosure

Some links on the service (typically gift-suggestion search links) may be affiliate links. If you click one and make a qualifying purchase, Gift Pong may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases (when our Amazon Associates account is active).

Affiliate revenue is disclosed clearly on the card page above any affiliate links, in accordance with FTC endorsement guidelines.

6. Gift cards

Gift Pong does not sell gift cards directly. Any gift-card links direct you to the official retailer or an approved partner program. Gift Pong is not responsible for transactions completed on third-party retailer sites.

7. AI is not perfect

The card message is generated by an AI model. It may occasionally misinterpret answers, produce awkward phrasing, or get a small detail wrong. Treat it as a draft. If you spot something off, don’t send it.

8. Account and admin

You are responsible for the security of your account password and for activity under your account. The service has an admin allowlist — admin features are not available to general users.

9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. You can delete your account at any time by contacting us.

10. Photos, likeness & AI face blending

Gift Pong lets you upload a photo and uses AI to blend a face into the card artwork. Because this is sensitive, you agree that:

• You have the rights to every photo you upload. The person in the photo is either you, or someone who has given you permission to upload their photo and use their likeness on an AI card. You are responsible for getting that permission — including when you (the sender) upload a photo of the person you’re sending the card to.
• To create the blend, the AI analyzes facial features from the photo. We use that only to generate your card, we do not sell it, and you can delete your photos and account at any time from your settings. See our Privacy Policy for how face and photo data are handled and retained.
• You indemnify Gift Pong against any claim arising from a photo or likeness you uploaded without the necessary rights or permission.

If you believe your photo or likeness was used without your permission, use the in-product “Report this card” link or email hello@giftpong.com and we will review and remove it.

11. Reporting & takedown

Every card has a “Report this card” control. Reports of non-consensual intimate imagery, content sexualizing a minor, impersonation, or other explicit content result in the card being removed promptly (and within 48 hours of a valid request, in line with the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act). Apparent child sexual abuse material is preserved and reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children as required by law. Copyright takedown requests are handled under our Copyright / DMCA Policy.

12. Subscriptions & billing

Paid plans (Plus, Pro, and Business tiers) are recurring subscriptions billed through Stripe. By subscribing you authorize Gift Pong to charge your payment method the stated price on a recurring basis. Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period at the then-current price until you cancel. You can cancel at any time — cancellation is self-service and takes effect at the end of the current period — from your account billing portal. Fees already charged for the current period are generally non-refundable except where required by law. We’ll give notice of material price changes before they take effect.

13. Dispute resolution; arbitration & class-action waiver

Please read this carefully — it affects your legal rights. Except where prohibited by law, you and Gift Pong agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or the service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, and not in a class, collective, or representative action. You and Gift Pong waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these terms by emailing hello@giftpong.com with the subject “Arbitration opt-out.”

14. Age requirement

Gift Pong is intended for adults and is not directed to children. You must be at least 13 years old to use the service, and you must be the age of majority in your jurisdiction (or have a parent/guardian’s consent) to purchase a subscription. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13; if we learn that we have, we delete it.

15. Liability

The service is provided “as is” without warranties. To the maximum extent allowed by law, Gift Pong is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

16. Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
