Is there such a thing as a privacy-respecting secret Santa platform? (sopuli.xyz)

I've been doing secret Santa with my family the last few years, but the webapps we use are always so annoying to use. You get an email every time your giftee updates their list or answers a question, but you need to sign in to the ad-riddled platform to see what is going on. You can make a wishlist, but only through links to Amazon.

Isn't there a better way?

Since posting this I've come across www.secretsantagenerator.com , the most bare-bones and straight to the point version imaginable (holiday cheer definitely not included!), and exactly what I thought I was after. I've also remembered that one good feature of the terrible thing we used last year was being able to anonymously ask your giftee questions.
