Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 11, 2025

Welcome to NameMerge.ai (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site. Please read this privacy policy carefully.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in various ways:

Personal Data: While using our Site, we generally do not require you to provide us with personally identifiable information. However, if you contact us directly (e.g., via email), we may receive your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide.
Usage Data: We automatically collect certain information when you access the Site, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, links clicked, time spent on pages, and other diagnostic data. This information is generally non-personally identifying but may be linkable to you.
Input Data: We collect the names, words, keywords, or other text prompts you enter into our name generator tools ("Input Data"). This Input Data is processed by our backend systems (including potentially third-party AI services like OpenAI) solely for the purpose of generating name suggestions for you. We aim to minimize storage of Input Data; it may be temporarily logged for operational needs (like debugging or service improvement) but is not intended for long-term storage linked to identifiable users.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons) to track activity on our Site, store certain preferences, and improve user experience. We may use session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your device until deleted). You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. We also use third-party services like Google AdSense, which may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our Site and other websites.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for various purposes:

To provide, operate, and maintain our Site and its features (including name generation).
To improve, personalize, and expand our Site and services.
To understand and analyze how you use our Site.
To develop new products, services, features, and functionality.
To communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, including for customer service, to provide you with updates and other information relating to the Site, and for marketing and promotional purposes (if applicable and consented to).
To process your requests (e.g., name generation).
To find and prevent fraud and abuse.
For compliance purposes, including enforcing our Terms of Service, or other legal rights, or as may be required by applicable laws and regulations or requested by any judicial process or governmental agency.
To serve relevant advertisements (e.g., via Google AdSense).

3. How We Share Your Information

We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations:

With Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work (e.g., hosting providers, AI service providers like OpenAI for processing Input Data, analytics providers, advertising networks).
For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency), or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred.
Aggregated Data: We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information (such as usage statistics) publicly or with partners.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Third-Party Services (e.g., AI Providers, Advertising)

AI Processing: Your Input Data may be processed by third-party AI providers (e.g., OpenAI). Their use of your data is governed by their respective privacy policies. We strive to use services that prioritize privacy but cannot guarantee their practices.
Advertising: We use third-party advertising companies like Google AdSense to serve ads. These companies may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect information about your visits to our Site and other websites to provide relevant advertisements. You can learn more about Google's practices and opt-out options by visiting the Google Ad & Content Network privacy policy.

5. Data Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your information. However, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict its processing. Please contact us if you wish to exercise any potential rights.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or a higher age threshold where applicable law requires). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
