Secret Santa generator FAQ
Is this Secret Santa generator free?
Yes. It’s free for any group size up to 100 people. There’s no account, no app to install, and nothing to pay.
Does the organizer see who drew whom?
No. We never show the matches on the organizer page: it shows who has opened their link and who has added a wishlist. Each link reveals one match, so if you join the exchange yourself, send the other links without opening them and only open your own.
How do exclusions work?
Write a couple as Priya & Marcus and neither draws the other. Add last year’s matches so nobody gets the same person twice, or paste a team column so coworkers draw outside their team. If the rules make a draw impossible, we’ll say which one to remove.
Do you send the emails or texts?
No. After the draw you get one private link per person. You send each one from your own phone or computer, by text, WhatsApp, email, or any app in your share sheet. That’s why nobody in your group ever gets a message from us.
Someone lost their link. What now?
Open your organizer link. Every person’s link is there to copy or share again. If the organizer link is lost too, there’s no way to recover the group, so draw a new one.
When is our data deleted?
Your group, the names, and the wishlists are deleted automatically 60 days after the exchange date (or 120 days after the draw if you didn’t set a date). The organizer can delete the group at any time from the organizer page.
