Privacy Policy
Last updated
This Privacy Policy explains how NamesCombiner (“we”, “us”, “our”), operating the website namescombiner.net (the “Site”), collects, uses and protects information when you use the Site. By using the Site you agree to this policy.
Summary
- Almost all tools run entirely in your browser. Names you type are not sent to us.
- The AI Name Combiner is the exception: the names you submit to it are sent to our server and an AI model to generate ideas.
- We use analytics cookies only if you accept them.
- We do not sell your personal information.
1. Information we collect
a) Information you type into the tools
Names, words and answers you enter into our generators, combiners, calculators and quizzes are processed on your own device by JavaScript. They are not transmitted to or stored on our servers. If you use “Share”, the names are placed in the link’s web address so the recipient can see the same results.
b) AI Name Combiner
When you use the AI Name Combiner, the names and style you submit are sent to our server function, which runs on Cloudflare, and are processed by an AI model through Cloudflare Workers AI. We do not ask for or attach any identifying information to the request. Results may be cached by name combination for up to 24 hours so repeat requests are faster. Do not enter sensitive personal information into the AI tool.
c) Information stored on your device
We use your browser’s local storage for features you control: your theme (light or dark), your saved names, your cookie choice, and the campaign link (UTM) you arrived from. This information stays on your device. See our Cookie Policy.
d) Analytics (only with your consent)
If you click “Accept” on our cookie banner, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the Site is used. This may include the pages you visit, the tools you use, approximate location (country or city), device and browser type, referring website and campaign (UTM) parameters. IP anonymisation is enabled. We do not send the names you type to Google Analytics. If you choose “Essential only”, analytics is not loaded.
e) Contact
If you contact us by email or through our contact form, we receive your name, email address and message, and use them only to respond to you.
f) Server and security logs
Our hosting and security provider (Cloudflare) processes technical data such as IP address, browser type and request time to deliver the Site, prevent abuse and keep it secure.
2. How we use information
- To provide and improve the tools;
- To generate AI suggestions when you request them;
- To understand usage and fix problems (only with consent for analytics);
- To reply to messages;
- To protect the Site against spam, fraud and abuse;
- To comply with legal obligations.
3. Legal bases (UK and EEA visitors)
We rely on consent for analytics cookies; legitimate interests for running, securing and improving the Site and responding to messages; and legal obligation where the law requires us to keep or disclose information.
4. Sharing
We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We share information only with service providers that help us run the Site — Cloudflare (hosting, security, AI processing), Google (analytics, only with consent) and our email/form provider — or where required by law.
5. International transfers
Our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, they use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
6. Retention
Tool inputs are not stored by us. AI responses may be cached for up to 24 hours. Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months. Emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your request.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live — including under the UK GDPR, the EU GDPR, Canada’s PIPEDA and US state laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) — you may have the right to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict processing, to withdraw consent at any time, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To make a request, email support@namescombiner.net. UK visitors may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
You can withdraw analytics consent at any time using Cookie settings.
Canada: we handle personal information in line with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and, for Quebec residents, the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Law 25). You may request access to or correction of your personal information, and withdraw consent, by emailing support@namescombiner.net. You may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (priv.gc.ca).
8. Children
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the UK and EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Security
The Site is served only over HTTPS, uses strict security headers, and keeps processing on your device wherever possible. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect information.
10. Third-party links
The Site may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it last changed. Significant changes will be highlighted on the Site.
