1. Who we are
Good Deed Santa is a service from GrowthMinute Kids, run by GrowthMinute, based in Newquay, Cornwall, England. We are the "data controller" for the information described in this policy, which means we decide how it is used and we are responsible for protecting it.

If you join the waitlist
- Your email address.
If you order a video

- Video creation: Higgsfield, which receives only what's needed to create the video.
- Payments: Stripe.
We may also share information if the law requires us to.

8. Keeping it safe
We use secure (HTTPS) connections, limit who can access your information, and only use providers with strong security. No system is completely risk-free, but if anything ever went wrong we would tell you and the Information Commissioner's Office when the law requires it.
9. Cookies
We don't use advertising or tracking cookies. Our hosting provider may use essential cookies to keep the site secure and working.

- Correct anything that's wrong.
- Delete your information.
- Limit or stop how we use it.
- Send it to you or another company in a common format.
- Withdraw your consent at any time. This won't affect anything we did before you withdrew it.
