Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-04

Summary

Character Names is a free utility website. We do not require accounts. We do not sell personal data. We use a small number of third-party services for analytics and advertising, described below. You can decline non-essential cookies using the banner at the bottom of any page.

What data we collect

Information you provide

We do not require any personal information to use the generators. If you email us, we receive whatever you choose to send (name, email address, message body).

Information collected automatically

Like nearly all websites, our hosting server logs basic request data: IP address, browser user-agent, the URL requested, and the timestamp. These logs are kept for up to 30 days for security and debugging, then deleted.

Cookies and third-party services

Google AdSense

We display advertising via Google AdSense. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising at www.google.com/settings/ads.

In the European Economic Area, UK, and California, ads are non-personalised by default until you accept cookies via our consent banner.

Analytics

We may use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are visited and how the site performs. Analytics is disabled by default until you accept cookies. We do not link analytics data to personal identifiers.

Your rights

If you are in the EU/EEA, UK, or California, you have rights including:

• The right to know what personal data we have about you (we hold none beyond server logs)
• The right to deletion (server logs auto-delete; ad cookies can be cleared in your browser)
• The right to opt out of personalised advertising (use the consent banner or your browser's "Do Not Track" setting)

To exercise these rights, email hello@characternames.net.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

Changes

We may update this policy occasionally. Material changes will be noted at the top of this page with an updated date.
