Last updated: November 14, 2026
This page is in English only for now.
madeyouacard.com ("made you a card") is run by Larkwright LLC in the United States. We built it to collect as little as possible. There are no ads, no tracking pixels and no cookies.
What we store
- Card details the organizer types in: the occasion, who the card is for, the "from" line, an optional organizer name, and when it should open.
- Messages people add: the name they type, their message, a sticker and a note color.
- On your own device: your browser remembers the cards you organize, the messages you wrote and the cat cards you've collected (in local storage), so you can manage them later. This never leaves your device unless you use it with our site.
We don't ask for email addresses or phone numbers, and signers don't need an account.
Games
- Who you are in a game: your browser makes up a random player ID and remembers the name and cat you picked (in local storage). Names come from a fixed list, and players can only send six preset phrases. There is no chat.
- Country and region: we use Cloudflare's estimate of your country and your region (state or province) to match you with nearby players, to show next to your name to the people you play, and to add your points to the scoreboards. We never use or show your city or anything more precise.
- Scoreboards hold point totals per country and per region. They don't record who scored them.
- Game rooms are deleted about two hours after the last move.
Payments
Right now cards are free and we don't take payments. If we start charging, payment will be handled by Stripe. Stripe collects your card details and the email for your receipt under Stripe's privacy policy. We never see your card number. We only receive confirmation that the card was paid.
Technical data
Our host, Cloudflare, processes the network data needed to deliver the site, such as your IP address. We use IP addresses briefly to slow down spam (for example, too many messages at once) and to keep the games scoreboard fair (two players on the same connection don't earn points). We don't save them with your messages or use them to build profiles.
Who can see a card
- Anyone with the signing link can read the messages while the card is being signed.
- The organizer can see every message and remove any of them.
- The recipient can read the card once it's sent and its opening time arrives.
Please don't put sensitive personal information in a card.
How long we keep it
Sent cards are deleted automatically 12 months after they open. Cards that are never sent are deleted 90 days after their last activity. Signers can remove their own message, and organizers can remove any message, at any time before the card is deleted.
Children
made you a card is meant for teams, friends and families, and isn't directed to children under 13. If you're under 13, please don't use it. If you think a child has added information, contact us and we'll delete it.
We don't sell your data
We don't sell or share personal information for advertising.
