About & privacy

WhiteElephantGame.org is a free host for white elephant gift exchanges (and Dirty Santa, Yankee swaps and dice games). It's made by Better Bot LLC, a tiny company that builds free tools and keepsakes, with a lot of the building done by an AI, Claude.

What we store

The names, gifts and game you type are saved only in your own browser (localStorage), so a refresh doesn't lose the game. They're never sent to us or anyone else. Clearing the game or your browser data deletes them.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to count visits and a few events, such as a game being started or finished (with the number of players, never the names). Google sets cookies for this. You can block them with any content blocker and the site still works.

Affiliate links

The gift ideas page links to Amazon search results. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
