Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

At RandomNamePicker.org (located at https://randomnamepicker.org/), your privacy and data security are our highest priorities. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle data when you use our random name generator tools.

1. Local Storage & Data Collection

We are deeply committed to user privacy, particularly for educators and students. No user data, input names, or list contents are ever sent to, processed, or stored on our servers.

All names and lists you enter into the application are stored locally on your device using your browser's localStorage API. This ensures complete compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and FERPA, as the data never leaves your personal device.

2. Cookie Disclosure & Advertising

To keep this tool 100% free for everyone, we use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.

Personalized Advertising Opt-Out

We explicitly utilize personalized advertising to fund our platform. You have the right to opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

3. COPPA Compliance (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)

Our website is designed to be safe for classroom environments. Because we do not collect, process, or store personal information (PII) on our servers, we are fully compliant with COPPA. We do not knowingly solicit or collect identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or educator and believe a child has provided us with PII, please contact us immediately so we can guide you on clearing your browser's local cache.

4. Analytics and Usage Tracking

We utilize standard website analytics (such as Google Analytics) to monitor overarching, non-identifiable traffic trends (such as page views and geographic regions). This data is anonymized and utilized solely to improve the user experience and optimize our application routing.
