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?

Could probably pull it off with Google Sheets / Excel if they're looking for a low effort, tech-involved solution.

Probably should just pull names out of a hat, but I imagine they want it to be a secret for them as well and don't want to rely on in-person presence for the assignment process.

Oh, fine - if you’re going to just Willy nilly divulge your (checks notes) family Secret Santa present list to just anyone. You may as well write your medical history with a nude picture of yourself on a postcard and send it via UPS to People Magazine!!1!
