Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Secret Santa Hat

Is Secret Santa Hat really free?

Yes! The core features are completely free forever. You can create groups, add names, set conflicts, and draw names without paying anything. We offer optional premium features like SMS notifications for larger groups.

Do I need to create an account or provide my email?

Nope! No email address, account, or personal information required. Just create your group and start drawing names immediately.

How do conflicts work?

Conflicts let you set rules like "married couples can't draw each other" or "kids can't draw adults." Our smart algorithm ensures everyone gets a valid match while respecting all your rules.

What if someone draws their own name?

That's impossible! Our algorithm automatically prevents anyone from drawing themselves. If there's no valid solution with your current conflicts, we'll let you know so you can adjust the rules.

Can we use this for occasions other than Christmas?

Absolutely! While we're called "Secret Santa Hat," our app works perfectly for White Elephant exchanges, office gift swaps, group projects, team building, or any time you need to randomly pair people.

How do the unique links work?

Each participant gets their own special link that only works for them. When they click it, they'll draw a name from the virtual hat. No more passing phones around or dealing with paper!

What are wishlists and how do they work?

After drawing a name, participants can add a wishlist with gift ideas, size information, or preferences. The person who drew them will be able to see these hints to choose the perfect gift.

Is my information secure and private?

Yes! We take privacy seriously. We only collect the minimum information needed to make the app work (group names, participant names). We don't sell data or send spam. Check our Privacy Policy for full details.
