    Privacy Policy

    Last updated: April 2026

    Introduction

    MyNameList.com ("we", "us", or "our") is operated by Stardust Media. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website at mynamelist.com.

    1. Information We Collect

    Anonymous Usage Data

    We collect anonymous usage data through Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This includes pages visited, time spent on pages, browser type, device type, approximate geographic location (country/region level), and referring website address. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual users.

    Favorites and Preferences

    When you save names to your favorites list, we store a session identifier locally in your browser and in our database. This data is used solely to maintain your favorites list across visits. We do not link this session data to any personal identity. No account creation is required, and no personal data (such as name, email, or phone number) is collected through normal site usage.

    2. Cookies

    We use the following types of cookies:

    • Google Analytics cookies: Used to collect anonymous usage statistics. These cookies help us understand which pages are most popular and how visitors navigate the site.
    • Google AdSense cookies: This website uses Google AdSense, a web advertising service provided by Google LLC. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
    • Session storage: Used to store your favorites list and session preferences locally in your browser.

    3. Third-Party Services

    We use the following third-party services:

    • Google Analytics: For understanding how visitors use our site. Google Analytics collects anonymous usage data subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
    • Google AdSense: For displaying advertisements on our site. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your browsing history.
    • Supabase: For database hosting and backend services. Supabase stores anonymous session data related to favorites functionality. No personal data is transmitted.
    • Google Cloud Text-to-Speech: For generating name pronunciation audio. No personal data is transmitted to this service.

    4. AI-Generated Content

    Some content on MyNameList — including name descriptions, editorial paragraphs, frequently asked questions and curated lists — is generated with the assistance of AI language models. All AI-generated content is based on established etymological sources, official name registries and cultural references. We review and refine AI output to ensure accuracy and quality. If you notice an error, please contact us at privacy@mynamelist.com.

    5. Your Rights

    You have the right to:

    • Opt out of analytics: You can disable Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
    • Opt out of personalized ads: Visit Google's Ads Settings to control ad personalization.
    • Clear local data: You can clear your favorites and session data at any time by clearing your browser's local storage and cookies.

    No personal data is stored on our servers without your explicit consent. We do not require account creation or collect personal information for normal site usage.

    6. GDPR Compliance (EU Users)

    If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

    • Right to access any personal data we hold about you
    • Right to request correction or deletion of your data
    • Right to object to or restrict processing of your data
    • Right to data portability
    • Right to withdraw consent at any time

    Since we do not collect personal data during normal site usage, these rights primarily apply to any data you voluntarily provide (e.g., by contacting us via email). To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the address below.

    7. Children's Privacy

    Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

    8. Data Retention

    Anonymous analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' default retention settings. Session-based favorites data is stored indefinitely but is not linked to any personal identity and can be cleared at any time by the user.

    9. Changes to This Policy

    We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
