Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Names you enter: All name blending happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. We do not transmit, store, or log the names you enter into our tool. Your inputs never leave your device.

Favorites: Saved favorites are stored in your browser's localStorage. We do not have access to this data, and it is not synced to any server.

Analytics: We may use privacy-focused analytics (such as Plausible or Google Analytics) to understand aggregate usage patterns. This data does not include personally identifiable information or the names you enter.

2. Cookies

We use minimal cookies for essential functionality (e.g., theme preference). If we use third-party analytics or advertising services, they may set their own cookies. You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings.

3. Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

• Analytics provider (Plausible/Google Analytics)
• Advertising network (Google AdSense) — if enabled
• Hosting provider (Vercel)

4. Data Retention

Since we do not collect personal data through our name blending tool, there is no personal data to retain or delete. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.

5. Children's Privacy

MergeNames is a general-purpose tool and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Since our tool processes data entirely client-side, no personal information is collected from any user.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
