Crash Reports: If something goes wrong, we might collect anonymous crash reports to help us fix it. Think of it like a friendly note explaining what went wrong with the wrapping paper.
What We DON'T Collect:
Your personal information: We don't care about your name, contacts, or any other identifying details. It's like never asking who the gift is for, just enjoying the wrapping process.
