Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2025

Introduction

Namespinner.app ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our free online name spinner and random name picker tool. Because we prioritize user privacy, our service is designed to process all data locally in your browser whenever possible.

Information We Collect

Local data only: Names, titles, descriptions, and customization settings you enter are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers. We do not collect, store, or have access to the names or entries you add to the spinner.

Automatically collected information: When you visit our website, we may automatically collect limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited. This information is used solely for analytics and improving our service. We do not link this data to any personally identifiable information.

How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and maintain the name spinner service
  • To improve user experience and fix technical issues
  • To understand how our tool is used through anonymized analytics
  • To comply with legal obligations when required

Data Storage and Security

All spinner data (names, settings, preferences) is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. You can clear this data at any time through your browser's settings or by clearing site data. We implement industry-standard security measures including TLS 1.3 encryption for all communications between your browser and our servers.

Cookies and Tracking

We may use essential cookies required for the proper functioning of our website. We use Google Analytics to understand how our site is used; this data is anonymized where possible (including IP anonymization) and does not identify individual users. Our advertising partner, Google AdSense, may set cookies to serve ads and measure ad performance. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or our cookie banner when you first visit.

Third-Party Services

Our website uses the following third-party services:

  • Google Analytics — to analyze site traffic and usage. Data is anonymized. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Google AdSense — to display advertisements. Ad partners may collect information about your visit. See our Annonspolicy for details.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights including: access to your data, correction of inaccurate data, deletion of your data, and objection to processing. Since we do not store your spinner data on our servers, you maintain full control—simply clear your browser's local storage to remove all data.

We comply with applicable privacy regulations including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Union and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for California residents.

Children's Privacy

Our service is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Our tool is designed for use in classrooms and family settings, and all data remains on the user's device.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
