This Privacy Policy explains what information NameCombinery (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects when you visit namecombinery.com, how that information is used, and what control you have over it. By using this website you agree to the practices described below.
We have written this in plain language on purpose. Privacy policies that nobody can read protect nobody.
The Short Version
You do not need an account to use NameCombinery. The names and words you type into our tools are processed to generate results and are not stored on our servers as part of a user profile. We do collect standard technical data that any website receives, and we use third-party services — chiefly Google AdSense and analytics — which set their own cookies. Details follow.
Information You Give Us Directly
Tool inputs. When you enter names or text into our Couple Name Combiner, Baby Name Combiner, Word Combiner, or Wingdings Translator, that input is processed to produce your results. We do not require this information to be tied to your identity, and we do not build advertising profiles from the specific names you enter.
Contact messages. If you email us or submit a contact form, we receive whatever you choose to include — typically your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this solely to respond to you and retain it only as long as needed for that purpose or as required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like virtually every website, our servers and analytics tools record standard technical information:
- IP address and approximate geographic region (usually country or city level)
- Browser type and version, operating system, and device category
- Pages viewed, time spent, and the referring website or search query
- Date and time of access
This is aggregate, non-identifying data used to understand which tools are popular, diagnose errors, monitor security, and improve site performance.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. NameCombinery uses them in the following ways:
Essential cookies keep the site functioning correctly — remembering your consent choices and basic preferences such as display settings.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site in aggregate, including which pages are visited and where people encounter problems.
Advertising cookies are set by third-party advertising partners to deliver and measure ads. These are described in the next section.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking cookies will not prevent our tools from working, though it may affect how the site remembers your preferences.
Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising
NameCombinery is a free service funded by advertising.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings at
https://www.google.com/settings/ads. - Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalised advertising at
https://www.aboutads.info/choices/. - Further information about how Google uses data from sites that use its services is available at
https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Third-party advertisers may also use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies within the advertisements themselves. NameCombinery does not control these technologies and is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party advertisers. We recommend consulting their respective privacy policies.
Analytics
We use analytics services, which may include Google Analytics, to understand aggregate site usage. These services collect information such as pages visited, session duration, and general location. This data is used in aggregate and is not used to identify individual visitors. Google’s privacy practices are described at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
How We Use Information
We use the information described above to:
- Operate our tools and deliver the results you request
- Diagnose technical faults and maintain site security
- Analyse usage patterns to decide which tools and features to improve
- Serve and measure advertising that supports the site
- Respond to your enquiries and support requests
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Children’s Privacy
NameCombinery is a general-audience website intended for users aged 13 and over. Our Baby Name Combiner is designed for use by parents and adults, not by children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at [hajirabani85@gmail.com] and we will delete it promptly.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your personal information
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw previously given consent
- Opt out of personalised advertising
Visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom have these rights under the GDPR. California residents have comparable rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what personal information is collected and to request its deletion. To exercise any right, contact us at [hajirabani85@gmail.com]. We respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
Data Retention and Security
We keep information only as long as necessary for the purposes described here or as required by law. Contact correspondence is typically retained for [12] months. Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes.
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
External Links
Our site may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites. When you follow a link away from NameCombinery, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of the site you arrive at.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Revisions are posted here with an updated date at the top. Significant changes will be highlighted on the site. Continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
