How do I set privacy options for my Elfster Gift Exchange?

As the Organizer, you can determine how much information the Participants can see about each other. These options are found under Settings in the Organizer menu in the Privacy Settings section.

Privacy options available in ALL platforms:

  • Do not send birthday alerts to group members.
    • This option is helpful for an online community Elfster Gift exchange among individuals who don't know each other in real life.
  • Do not draw names automatically on the Draw names date
    • This requires the Organizer to draw names manually, which can happen either before or after the sign-up date has passed.
  • Do not send emails about wall posts unless it is from me.
    • This option limits the number of emails Participants will receive.
  • Hide Invitee List
    • Only the Organizer and their Assistant(s) will be able to see the Invitee List.

How to Select Privacy Settings

  1. Click the Gear icon next to the Elfster gift exchange settings. 
  2. Select the Privacy Settings from the left side menu
  3. Select the Privacy Settings of your choice for the Gift Exchange by clicking the toggle.

 

Selecting the box next to each Option will activate that Privacy Option. Once Privacy Options are selected for a Gift Exchange, future Gift Exchanges will default to those Privacy Options.
