This Privacy Policy explains how Names Generator Hub ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit namesgeneratorhub.com (the "Site"). We've written it in plain language because we believe privacy policies should be readable. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
The short version
- You don't need an account to use any of our tools.
- We don't ask for, or collect, personal information to generate names.
- Names you "save" are stored only in your own browser (local storage), not on our servers.
- Google Analytics 4 loads only after you accept analytics; we plan to use Google AdSense after approval.
Information we collect
Information you provide
The Site does not require you to register or submit personal details to use the generators. If you contact us by email or via our contact form, we receive the information you choose to send (such as your name, email address and message) solely to respond to you.
Information stored in your browser
When you save a favourite name, we store it using your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device, is not transmitted to us, and you can clear it at any time by using the "Clear all" option in a tool or by clearing your browser data.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, the services that run this Site may automatically receive standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page and the pages you visit. This is used to keep the Site secure, to understand general usage, and (where ads are enabled) to serve advertising.
The services we actually use
- Hosting / CDN: the Site is served by Cloudflare Pages (Cloudflare, Inc.), which processes IP addresses as part of delivering pages and protecting against abuse.
- Infrastructure analytics: Cloudflare Web Analytics / Browser Insights may collect limited technical measurements about page delivery and browser performance. Cloudflare states that its Web Analytics product does not use cookies or local storage to collect these measurements.
- Analytics: Google Analytics 4, in aggregate form and subject to the consent behaviour described below.
- Advertising: Google AdSense — the Site currently publishes AdSense account-verification metadata and an
ads.txtentry, but it does not load an ad-serving script or display ad units. - Contact email: the contact form opens your email application. Your email provider and ours process the message you choose to send.
We do not use session-recording or heat-mapping tools. The services listed above are the third-party measurement services currently present on the Site.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them sparingly. For full details, please read our Cookie Policy. In summary, cookies on this Site may include local storage for site preferences, optional analytics cookies, and — once advertising is enabled — advertising cookies from Google and its partners.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We intend to display advertising provided by Google AdSense. The Site currently
includes an AdSense account-verification meta tag and an ads.txt record, but the
ad-serving script and display ad units are switched off in the Site code. When ads become active:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also manage interest-based advertising choices for participating companies at the Digital Advertising Alliance control page.
Before any ads are served to visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, we will add a Google-certified consent management platform so visitors can review and control their choices in line with Google's advertising consent requirements.
Analytics
If you accept analytics, we load Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the Site in aggregate (for example, which tools are most popular). If you decline or have not chosen, the Google Analytics script is not requested. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage so the Site can remember it.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain and improve the Site and its tools.
- To respond to your enquiries and feedback.
- To keep the Site secure and prevent abuse.
- To display advertising (where enabled) and to comply with legal obligations.
Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. Limited technical information is processed by the services named above (Cloudflare and Google) as part of running the Site, and we may disclose information if required by law.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Because we hold very little personal data, most requests relate to email correspondence. To make a request, email us at contact@namesgeneratorhub.com. You can change your analytics choice by clearing this Site's local storage, control cookies through your browser settings and opt out of personalised ads using the links above.
Children's privacy
The Site is family-friendly and intended for a general audience. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Data retention and security
We keep email correspondence only as long as needed to assist you. We take reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage over the Internet is completely secure.
International visitors
The Site is available globally and may be accessed from countries with different data protection laws. By using the Site, you understand your information may be processed in the countries where our service providers operate.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the Site.
