Privacy Policy
Last updated November 4, 2026
List Nook is a small, private website where a family shares wish lists and plans gifts. This page explains, in plain words, what information the site keeps and how it is used. We do not sell your information, show ads, or use advertising or analytics trackers.
What the site keeps
- Names and lists. The names of the people and families on the site, and the wish list items they or their family add (titles, notes, links, prices, photos and similar details).
- Gift activity. Which gifts have been marked as bought, and a short activity history of changes made on the site. Gifts bought from your own list are hidden from you.
- Calendar events. Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and other events added to a family calendar, and who added them.
- Accounts. If you have an account: your name, username, a securely scrambled (hashed) password, which families and calendars you can see or edit, and when you joined and last signed in. We never store your password in readable form.
- Email address (optional). Only if you or the site administrator add one. It is used to reset a forgotten password and to send reminders you have turned on.
- Phone notification details (optional). If you choose to turn on phone notifications, your browser gives the site a private address used only to send you alerts. You can turn this off at any time in the site or in your browser settings.
Cookies and similar storage
The site uses only a few small cookies and browser storage items that it needs to work: one that keeps you signed in, one that remembers light or dark mode, and one that remembers when you last looked at recent activity. There are no advertising or tracking cookies.
How information is used
- To show the right lists and calendars to the right people.
- To keep gift surprises safe.
- To send emails or phone alerts you have asked for, such as password resets and event reminders.
- To look up the current price of an item when a product link is added, so lists stay up to date.
- To keep the site secure, for example by limiting repeated wrong password attempts.
Who can see it
Only people who have been invited, or who have a family password, can sign in. Each person only sees the families and calendars they have been given access to. The site administrator can see and manage everything on the site, and keeps backups of the site's data.
Third parties
- Hosting. The site is hosted by Hostinger, which stores the site's files and data and may keep standard server logs such as IP addresses.
- Fonts. The site loads its fonts from Google Fonts, so your browser contacts Google when a page loads.
- Product links. When a price is checked, the site contacts the store's website that the link points to.
- Phone alerts. Notifications are delivered through your browser or phone maker's push service (for example Apple, Google or Mozilla).
We do not share your information with anyone else, and we do not sell it.
Keeping and deleting information
Information stays on the site until it is removed. You can edit or delete your own list items. To remove your account, a person, or any other information, ask the site administrator, who can delete it. Deleted items may remain in recent backups for a short time.
Children
Parents and guardians can have lists for their children, and these are managed by an adult. The site does not knowingly collect information directly from children.
Security
Passwords are stored hashed, sign-ins are protected against repeated guessing, and the site is served over an encrypted connection. No website can be perfectly secure, so please choose a strong password and do not share it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page will be updated.
Questions
If you have any questions about your information or want something removed, please contact the person who invited you to the site. They run it and can help.
