Privacy Policy

This page explains what Hello I’m Sorry stores and why.

What we store

• The letter you write: the first name it is for, your message, the name you sign with, the mood and an optional song link.
• A one way hashed fingerprint of your connection, used only to stop spam and repeat votes. We do not store your raw IP address with your letter.
• If you subscribe to name alerts, your email address and the name you follow.

What we do not do

• We do not ask for an account.
• We do not sell or share your data.
• We do not show who wrote a letter beyond the name the writer chose.

Your controls

• After writing, you get a secret link to edit or delete your letter at any time.
• Every alert email has an unsubscribe link.
• If a letter is about you and you want it gone, use the Remove a message page.

Cookies and third parties

We store your light or dark mode choice in your browser. Google Fonts are used for the typefaces. A song player from YouTube or Spotify only loads when you press play. Ads or analytics, if added later, may use their own cookies and will be listed here.
