Privacy policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information Japanese Name Generator collects when you visit japanese-name-generator.org, how that information is used, and the choices you have. It covers the tool itself, the guides and every other page on japanese-name-generator.org.
Who runs this site
japanese-name-generator.org is the home of Japanese Name Generator, a free japanese name generator that works in your web browser. Questions about personal data go to the site's operator, who reads the mailbox [email protected]. Where data protection law uses the term “controller”, it refers to this operator.
Information we collect
Japanese Name Generator has no registration, no logins and no paid plans, so there is no account data to collect. The tool's code runs in your browser, so the values you type into the japanese name generator stay on your device. The only information collected is technical, coming from server logs, analytics and advertising, and each kind is explained below.
What the tool keeps locally
The japanese name generator remembers your recent inputs and settings using your browser's local storage. We have no access to it: it is not included in requests to the server and is not shared with anyone. To erase it, clear the site data for japanese-name-generator.org in your browser. Private or incognito windows discard it automatically.
About cookies
Cookies, and similar technologies such as pixels and local storage, let a site or the services it uses keep small pieces of data in your browser. Our own pages do not set cookies. Cookies on japanese-name-generator.org come from analytics and advertising providers. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the japanese name generator will keep working, although ads may become less relevant.
How we measure use of the site
Use of japanese-name-generator.org is measured with Yandex Metrica and Microsoft Clarity. The data they gather includes pages viewed, visit length, referrer, browser and device details and a coarse location derived from your IP address. Their session replays and heatmaps show how people click, scroll and move through a page, which helps us fix usability problems. The data is handled by Yandex and Microsoft in line with their own privacy terms, and both use cookies to tell visits apart. We use these reports to improve the site, not to identify you.
Logs kept by our server
Our web server automatically records each request in standard log files. These logs hold the IP address, user agent string, time of access and the address of the page requested. Their purpose is security, error diagnosis and aggregate statistics.
Advertising partners
Japanese Name Generator is free because it shows ads. These ads come from third-party networks, which may set cookies and read device information such as your IP address and browser type to pick ads and measure results. Where allowed, ads may be personalised using information about your visits to this and other websites. Your tool inputs are never shared with ad networks, which process their own data under their own privacy terms. Opt-out tools from the advertising industry, available at optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu, cover many networks; browser cookie settings work as well.
Our legal bases
Where the GDPR or the UK GDPR applies, processing relies on these grounds:
- Consent where the law requires it for analytics and advertising technologies.
- Legitimate interests for security logging, troubleshooting and basic statistics.
- Necessity: keeping your entries in local storage is part of the feature you choose to use.
- Correspondence: emails you send are used only to respond to you.
Your choices and rights
Under the GDPR and similar laws, you can ask for access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability of your personal data, and you can object to processing. Consent you have given can be withdrawn whenever you like. Because we hold very little data and no accounts, we may need details such as your IP address and the approximate time of your visit to find anything relating to you.
You may also complain to a data protection supervisory authority, for example in the country where you live. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected].
How long data is kept
We keep information only as long as it is needed: server logs are deleted on a rolling basis after a limited period, unless an entry is needed to investigate an attack or abuse. Data saved in local storage stays in your browser until you delete it. Correspondence is kept while it is needed to answer you and handle any follow-up. Analytics and advertising providers keep data according to their own retention schedules.
Processing outside your country
The services we use, including hosting, analytics and advertising providers, may process data in countries other than your own. Those countries may have data protection laws that differ from the laws where you live.
California privacy rights
If you are a California resident, the CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, gives you the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense, and visitor data is not exchanged for payment. However, letting ad networks use cookies for personalised advertising may count as “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising under California law. You can opt out by turning on the Global Privacy Control signal in your browser, blocking third-party cookies, or contacting us. We will not treat you differently for exercising these rights.
Security
Connections to japanese-name-generator.org use HTTPS encryption. Access to the server and its logs is limited to the people who run the site. No system is perfectly secure; still, your tool inputs stay on your device.
Children's data
japanese-name-generator.org is not directed to children under 13, or under 16 where European rules apply. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If a child has given us personal information, for instance in an email, please let us know so that we can delete it.
Changes
This policy is updated when our practices change. Whatever appears here is the policy that applies.
