No matter who it is, the minute someone walks through our gate and they bend down to say hello, she pees on their feet. The family and I have learnt to stand with our feet 2 foot apart to get away from the leak.

Have her checked out for “spay incontinence”. It’s a real thing easily fixed with medication. Also, she’s super adorable.
Get your visitors to ignore her til she settles down… then always say hello on tiles or vinyl or concrete. It will stop. Its not incontinence, just youthful excitement.
My 3-year-old male pit does the same thing when he sees my husband (in fact, I submitted a “dog-shaming” photo, too, a couple weeks back). My vet said to do the common sense stuff (let the dog out to pee before guests arrive, keep the “hellos” kind of subdued, etc), but that it really isn’t something to worry about. She said of all the physiological things a dog may have to deal with, tinkling when happy is not high on her list of worries. My husband and I try to find the humor in it, as you have done.
