Privacy Policy for Name Generator
Last Updated: June 2026
At Name Generator (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website. Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.
1. Information We Do NOT Collect
Unlike most modern websites, Name Generator is designed to function without collecting any personally identifiable information (PII). Specifically:
- No Account Required: You do not need to register, sign up, or create an account to access any of our 70+ name generators. We never ask for your name, email address, password, or phone number.
- No Generation Logs: When you click the “Generate” button, the names are constructed using JavaScript inside your web browser. The list of generated names is never sent to our servers, logged, or recorded. Your creative output is completely private.
- No Saved Data on Servers: When you click the heart icon to add a name to your “Saved Favorites” list, that list is stored exclusively in your browser’s local storage (localStorage). It is never synchronized with our servers or accessed by us.
2. Information We Collect Automatically
To maintain website stability, analyze performance, and understand how visitors use our site, we collect certain non-personally identifiable information automatically. This data includes:
- Log Files: Our web servers log standard details such as your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this anonymous data to diagnose server problems and administer the site.
- Cookies and Web Beacons: We use essential cookies to maintain core site features. We also utilize third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) that set cookies to track aggregate, non-personal pageviews, duration of visits, and popular pages. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time without losing access to our name generators.
3. Detailed Cookie Information
Below is a summary of the types of cookies utilized on our platform to help you understand our data practices:
| Cookie Name / Type | Provider | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential Preference | Name Generator | Saves interface states like dark mode or active category tabs. | 1 year |
| Google Analytics (_ga) | Google Inc. | Anonymous, aggregate pageview and session duration tracking. | 2 years |
| Google Analytics (_gid) | Google Inc. | Distinguishes unique anonymous users for daily traffic metrics. | 24 hours |
| Ad Preferences | Ad Partners | Anonymized targeting cookies used by ad networks to display relevant ads. | Varies |
4. Browser Fingerprinting and Tracking Exclusion
We are dedicated to maintaining a transparent web space. We do not use canvas fingerprinting, WebGL tracking, audio context analysis, or device font listing to build tracking profiles of our users. Many modern ad networks attempt to bypass cookie blocks by fingerprinting your browser configurations (evaluating installed extensions, window size, and graphics cards). Name Generator actively blocks these tracking scripts from executing on our page structure, ensuring that your visits remain anonymous and free from cross-site tracking profile associations.
5. Data Security Headers and Protocols
Even though we do not store personal profiles, we implement modern security headers on our server architecture to protect your local session from cross-site scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks. Our server outputs: (a) Content Security Policy (CSP) headers, restricting script execution to verified sources; (b) X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, preventing MIME type spoofing; (c) Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), forcing all connections to load securely via HTTPS; and (d) X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN, protecting our interface from frame-jacking or click-jacking overlays. This ensures that when you generate and save names, your browser environment remains secure.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
Since we do not store your generated names, personal information, or favorites lists on our servers, there is no personal data for us to delete. If you wish to delete your saved favorites list, you can do so at any time by clicking the “Clear” button in the favorites drawer on our website. This instantly wipes the data from your browser’s local storage. This is a local action that cannot be reversed by us.
7. Third-Party Links and Advertising
Our website contains links to external sites (such as our social media pages or related reference articles). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external websites. We also display third-party advertisements on our site to cover hosting costs. These advertisers may use cookies and tracking technology to serve personalized ads based on your visits to this and other websites. These ad networks track your usage across other websites to show you targeted advertisements.
8. Compliance with Global Privacy Regulations
We are fully committed to protecting user data under global regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Because we do not collect personal data, require consent for tracking, or sell personal information, our services are naturally compliant and privacy-focused by design. Under these regulations, users hold several rights regarding their data:
- Right to be Forgotten: Since we store no data on our servers, your data is already non-existent in our systems. You can wipe your local storage at any time.
- Right of Access: You have absolute access to the favorites you curate because they are stored on your own device.
- Data Portability: You can export your saved favorites list at any time by clicking the Copy All button.
9. Security of Your Information
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. However, since we do not host personal profiles, the security burden is shared: your local favorites are as secure as the device you use to browse our site. We recommend securing your devices with passwords and keeping your browser software updated.
10. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Compliance
Our website is designed for creative writers, roleplayers, and general creators. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information on our site, please contact us immediately, and we will take necessary measures to ensure any such data is removed, although, as stated, our server databases do not store user information.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page. Your continued use of the site following the posting of changes will mean you accept those changes.
