Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 25, 2025

Welcome to TinyNames! We value your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you may share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how TinyNames ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you use our website at https://tinynam.es (the "Site") and our baby name generator services (collectively, the "Services").

1. Information We Collect

We aim to minimize the collection of personal information. Below is an overview of the information we may collect when you use our Services:

• Saved Names: When you save baby names using our generator, we store these names in your browser's local storage. This data is not transmitted to our servers and remains on your device unless you clear your browser data.
• Analytics Data: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about how users interact with our Site. This includes information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, time spent on the Site, and referring URLs. This data helps us improve our Services but does not identify you personally.
• Advertising Data: We use Google AdSense to display ads on our Site. Google AdSense may collect data such as your IP address, browser information, and cookies to serve relevant advertisements. This data collection is governed by Google's Privacy Policy (see Section 5 for more details).
• Usage Information: We may collect non-personal information about how you use our Services, such as the names you generate, the filters you apply (e.g., country selection), and interaction patterns (e.g., clicks on buttons). This data is anonymized and used to enhance user experience.

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as your name, email address, or payment details directly through our Services, as we do not require user accounts or process payments on our Site.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used in the following ways:

• To Provide and Improve Our Services: We use saved names to allow you to keep track of your favorite baby names during your session. Analytics and usage data help us understand how users interact with our Site, enabling us to enhance functionality and user experience.
• To Display Advertisements: Google AdSense uses the data it collects to serve personalized ads. We do not directly control this data but rely on Google’s services to monetize our Site.
• To Analyze Trends: Anonymized data helps us identify popular names, user preferences, and areas for improvement in our Services.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may share information in the following circumstances:

• Third-Party Service Providers: We use third-party services like Google Analytics and Google AdSense, which may collect and process data as described in their respective privacy policies (see Section 5).
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid request from a governmental authority, such as a court order or subpoena.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via a prominent notice on our Site of any change in ownership or use of your information.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We and our third-party partners use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience and collect analytics data:

• Local Storage: We use your browser’s local storage to save your favorite names. This data persists on your device until you clear your browser data.
• Analytics Cookies: Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions on our Site. These cookies collect anonymized data to help us understand usage patterns.
• Advertising Cookies: Google AdSense may use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your browsing history and interests.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our Services, such as the ability to save names.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect and process your data:

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about Site usage. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy.
• Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google may use cookies and other tracking technologies to personalize ads. For more information, see Google’s Advertising Policies.
• Buy Me a Coffee: If you choose to support us via the “Buy Me a Coffee” link, your data will be processed by Buy Me a Coffee according to their Privacy Policy.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties to understand how they handle your data.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Since most data (e.g., saved names) is stored locally on your device, the primary responsibility for securing this data lies with you. We recommend keeping your device and browser secure and up to date.

For data processed by third parties (e.g., Google Analytics, Google AdSense), we rely on their security measures, which are detailed in their respective privacy policies.

Please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

7. Your Choices and Rights

You have the following choices and rights regarding your information:

• Saved Names: You can clear your saved names at any time using the “Remove Saved Names” option in the options dropdown on our Site. You can also clear your browser’s local storage to remove this data.
• Cookies: You can manage cookies through your browser settings. For example, you can disable cookies or clear existing cookies, though this may impact the functionality of our Services.
• Opt-Out of Analytics: You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.
• Opt-Out of Personalized Ads: You can manage ad personalization settings for Google AdSense via Google’s Ad Settings.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional rights, such as the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Since we do not collect personally identifiable information directly, these rights primarily apply to data collected by third parties like Google. Please contact them directly to exercise these rights.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the email address below.

9. International Users

TinyNames is operated from Sweden, and our Services are hosted in the European Union. By using our Services, you consent to the transfer of your information to the EU, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. We take steps to ensure your data is protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
