1. Introduction & Overview
Welcome to Unique Boy Name ("we", "our", "us", or "uniqueboyname.com"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through transparent data governance. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, maintain, protect, and disclose information when you visit or interact with our website.
By accessing or using uniqueboyname.com, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy. If you disagree with any portion of this policy, please discontinue use of our site.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
Unlike conventional platforms, our architecture was built with data minimization principles:
- We do not require user account registration, login credentials, or passwords.
- We do not collect pregnant mothers’ medical data, expected delivery due dates, or children's birth certificates.
- We do not save your parent name blender inputs (Mother's name, Father's name) on our web servers. Blending algorithms execute locally inside your browser session.
3. Information We May Collect Automatically
When you browse our website, our server logs and content delivery networks (CDNs) automatically collect limited non-identifying telemetry necessary to ensure website performance, security, and uptime:
- Device & Network Identifiers: Truncated IP addresses, operating system, browser type, screen resolution, and language settings.
- Usage Metrics: Pages visited, interaction timestamps, referring URLs, and resource latency speeds.
- Crash & Diagnostic Logs: Diagnostic traces in the event of an uncaught browser exception or service outage.
4. Local Storage & Cookie Technologies
We utilize localized web storage technologies to improve your experience without intrusive session tracking:
Stores the numeric identifiers of the baby names you bookmark into your Shortlist. Never transmitted to our servers.
Remembers your preference for Dark Mode or Light Mode across browser visits.
Cookies & Third-Party Advertising: Third-party advertising vendors (such as Google AdSense) may use cookies or web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings or aboutads.info.
5. Interactive Features (Audio Pronunciation & Family Voting)
Speech Synthesis: When you click the pronunciation audio button next to a name, the sound is generated directly via your device’s native HTML5 Speech Synthesis API. No audio recordings are generated, listened to, or stored on our servers.
WhatsApp Family Voting: The "Share Voting Poll via WhatsApp" button encodes your shortlisted names into a standard prefilled WhatsApp text URI (`https://api.whatsapp.com/send?...`). This text is rendered directly within your native WhatsApp application. We do not inspect your contacts, phone numbers, or messaging exchanges.
6. Your Rights Under GDPR (European Union & United Kingdom)
If you reside within the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, you possess specific statutory rights regarding personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
- The right to be informed about how data is processed.
- The right of access and rectification.
- The right to erasure ("Right to be Forgotten").
- The right to restrict or object to data processing.
- The right to data portability.
Because we do not maintain centralized user accounts or store personal dossiers, exercising deletion of your shortlisted names can be accomplished immediately by clearing your browser cache/local storage.
