Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026
NameCraftForge (“we”, “us”, or “the site”) is a free fantasy name generator. This policy explains what limited information is collected when you visit, how it is used, and the choices and rights you have. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
The name generator itself runs entirely in your browser. When you generate names, nothing you type or create is transmitted to or stored on our servers — the words never leave your device. We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect names, email addresses, or other personal details directly.
Like most websites, we and our third-party partners automatically receive standard technical data your browser sends with every request, such as your IP address, device and browser type, referring page, and the pages you view. This data is used in aggregate to keep the site running, understand traffic, and serve advertising.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners may use several categories of cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels):
- Essential cookies— required for the site to load and function correctly.
- Analytics cookies— help us understand how visitors use the site, for example which generators are most popular and how long people stay.
- Advertising cookies— set by Google and other ad partners to measure and personalise the ads you see.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and most browsers let you block them entirely. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site behaves. You can also use a browser extension or ad blocker to limit tracking.
Analytics
We may use privacy-conscious analytics services (such as Google Analytics or OpenPanel) to measure traffic and improve the site. These services collect anonymised or pseudonymised usage data such as page views, approximate location, and session duration. We do not use this data to identify you personally. You can opt out using your browser’s privacy settings or an ad blocker.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We display advertising to keep NameCraftForge free. When ads are live, they may be served by Google using the Google AdSense program, along with other approved advertising partners. Specifically:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.eu.
For more information on how Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps, see Google’s Privacy & Terms.
Your GDPR Rights (EEA and UK)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation gives you the following rights over your personal data:
- Right of access— request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification— ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to erasure— request deletion of your personal data (“right to be forgotten”).
- Right to data portability— receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format.
- Right to restrict or object— limit or object to how we process your data, including for personalised advertising.
For visitors in the EEA and UK, we and our advertising partners rely on your consent for personalised advertising, which you can withdraw at any time through the cookie/consent controls shown to you or your browser settings.
Your CCPA Rights (California)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA) gives you the right to:
- Know what categories of personal information are collected and how they are used.
- Request deletion of personal information we have collected.
- Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information — which, under the CCPA’s broad definitions, can include the use of advertising cookies.
- Not be discriminated against for exercising any of your privacy rights.
We do not sell personal information for money. To exercise your right to opt out of data sharing for personalised advertising, adjust the ad-personalisation controls linked above or contact us using the details below.
Children’s Privacy
NameCraftForge is a general-audience site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or the law. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the site.
