THE LITTLE DETAILS · LOCAL PREVIEW · UPDATED NOVEMBER 13, 2026
Your notes deserve a little privacy.
If the translated version differs, the English version prevails.
Who this is for
Decorate My Tree is for people aged 13 or older. Do not use the service or submit information if you are under 13. This is an independent Christmas project in a local preview. Operator identity and the privacy contact are to be confirmed before public launch; no support address is currently published.
What we store and why
We store tree names, shapes, themes, timezone and Christmas unlock time to display your tree. We store ornament images, placement, messages, optional author names, report reasons and moderation decisions to deliver and moderate the experience. Anonymous submissions do not store an author name. Optional mock purchases store the selected product, amount in USD cents, order status, accepted prompts, generation costs and refund status. These records allow fulfillment and prevent duplicate generation or refunds. We do not collect card details, require an account, or use Google sign-in in this preview.
Who can see your tree and messages
Anyone who has the tree link can see its name, visible ornaments and signed author names. Treat the tree link as shareable, not confidential. Message bodies are visible only to the tree owner after unlock on December 25, 2026 at midnight in the tree’s timezone, using UTC if unavailable. Before unlock, even the owner cannot read message bodies or play private videos. Messages are not a public wall. Owner report review does not bypass this lock. Optional purchases cannot unlock messages early.
Ownership and cookies
An essential HTTP-only first-party cookie remembers ownership for up to one year. An additional essential anonymous visitor cookie, also lasting up to one year, helps limit flooding across visits. The visitor identifier is not a name or a login. If a trusted proxy is configured, the server uses the forwarded IP address for additional in-memory rate limits; otherwise it uses the visitor cookie without grouping unknown clients together. We do not run analytics or advertising trackers in this local preview. Pro removes the advertising space from that tree.
Keep your manage link private
The secret manage link grants owner access. Anyone with it can read messages after unlock, moderate your tree and use its mock checkout. The stored owner token is hashed, but the link is a bearer credential, not proof of identity. Keep it private. Clearing cookies removes browser access; your saved manage link can restore it. Without that link there is no account-based recovery in this preview.
Moderation and optional generation
We check tree names, message bodies, author names, report reasons and prompts against a small local word list. Rejected submissions are not published. Errors and logs do not include rejected text. Reports are visible to the tree owner for review. Accepted AI prompts and optional notes are stored for the order; do not put sensitive personal information in a prompt. Mock payment and AI providers run locally and do not send this content to external payment or AI services.
Storage, retention and deletion
This preview stores data in the configured local database. No automatic retention period has been set: records remain until the local database is removed or a deletion procedure is arranged. Owners can hide or delete ornaments from their tree. Deletion removes them from all tree views and cannot be undone through the interface, but the underlying record, report and order audit data may remain in the database; it is not an immediate database erasure request. Clearing a cookie does not delete server data. Do not submit sensitive data during the preview.
Requests and changes
You may need access, correction, export or erasure of your data. The contact channel and identity-verification process for these requests are to be confirmed before public launch. Tree owners can already remove visible content through owner controls. There is no public support email to use yet. We will update this page when the operator, contact, retention schedule or providers change. Review the current page before using a later version of the service.
