This Privacy Policy explains how Fantasy Name HQ (“we,” “us”) handles information when you use fantasynamehq.com and related pages (the “Site”).
Summary
- You can generate and copy fantasy team names without creating an account.
- Some preferences stay in your browser’s local storage (for example theme and popular-name counts).
- We use Google Analytics to understand traffic in aggregate.
- We use Google AdSense to show ads on some pages; Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies.
- We do not sell personal information.
Information we process
Information you provide
If you email us or use a contact address listed on the Site, we receive whatever you include in that message (name, email address, and message content) solely to respond.
Information stored on your device
The Site may store small amounts of data in your browser, such as:
- Theme preference (light/dark)
- Local popular-name counters and related generator preferences or caches
This data stays on your device unless you clear site data in your browser settings. We do not receive a copy of it as account data.
Automatically collected usage data
Like most websites, our hosts and analytics providers may collect standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from IP. Google Analytics helps us see which pages are used and how traffic arrives.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies and local storage may be used for:
- Remembering your theme preference
- Analytics (Google Analytics)
- Advertising (Google AdSense and authorized partners)
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how ads or analytics work.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on portions of the Site (primarily the generator homepage). Google and its partners may use cookies or device identifiers to serve and measure ads, including personalized ads where allowed by law and your settings.
You can learn more and manage ad personalization at Google Ad Settings and review Google’s partner practices at How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Ads are not shown on this Privacy Policy page. On the homepage, ad units are limited and placed after substantial page content.
Third-party services
- Google Analytics — site usage measurement
- Google AdSense — advertising
- Google Fonts — font delivery when loaded from Google’s servers
- Public roster data sources (for example ESPN endpoints used client-side for name inspiration) — not for building user profiles
Those providers have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to read them.
Children
The Site is a general-audience tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Data retention
Analytics and ad providers retain data according to their own policies. Browser-local data remains until you clear it. Email correspondence is retained only as long as needed to respond and maintain basic records.
Your choices
- Clear cookies and site data in your browser
- Use browser or OS tracking protections and ad blockers (may affect monetization features)
- Adjust Google ad personalization
- Contact us with privacy questions (see below)
International visitors
The Site may be hosted or processed in the United States or other countries. If you access it from elsewhere, you understand that information may be processed outside your country, including by analytics and advertising partners.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the Site after updates means you accept the revised policy.
