Privacy Policy

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
• Create and manage your account
• Process payments and manage subscriptions
• Personalize your experience (saved names, preferences, AI suggestions)
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
• Send transactional emails (account confirmations, subscription receipts)
• Send product updates and newsletters (you can opt out at any time)
• Analyze usage patterns to improve our features and content
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and violations of our Terms
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not use your data to train third-party AI models. Photos you upload for the baby face feature are transmitted directly to our AI provider for processing and are not retained after the generation is complete.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: We share data with trusted third parties that help us operate the Service — including Clerk (authentication), Stripe (payments), Vercel (hosting), MongoDB Atlas (database), Google (AI processing and analytics), and fal.ai (image generation). These providers are contractually bound to use your data only for providing services to us.
• Social media platforms: When you voluntarily use social sharing features, we may share content or a link with platforms such as TikTok as directed by you. We share only what is necessary to complete the action.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of NamesWithLove, our users, or others.
• Business transfers: If NamesWithLove is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
• With your consent: We may share your information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

NamesWithLove offers TikTok integration features that allow you to share baby name content to TikTok. Here is how we handle your data in connection with TikTok:

• We use TikTok's official APIs in accordance with TikTok's Platform Policy and Terms of Service.
• When you authorize TikTok integration, TikTok may share with us basic profile information (username, profile photo) necessary to identify your account for sharing.
• We share with TikTok only the content you explicitly choose to post (e.g., a name card, image, or text), and metadata required by TikTok's API.
• We do not store your TikTok credentials. Authorization tokens are managed securely and used only to perform actions you request.
• TikTok's collection and use of your data through its platform is governed by TikTok's own Privacy Policy.
• You can revoke TikTok integration access at any time through your TikTok account settings or through your NamesWithLove account dashboard.

We use the following types of cookies and tracking technologies:

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect your ability to use authentication features.

• Account data is retained as long as your account is active. You may delete your account at any time.
• Uploaded photos (baby face feature) are not stored. They are processed in memory and discarded after generation.
• AI chat logs are not retained after your session ends.
• Payment records are retained for 7 years as required by financial regulations, even after account deletion.
• Analytics data is retained by Google Analytics per their standard retention periods (default 14 months).

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data (“right to be forgotten”). Delete your account from your dashboard or email us.
• Portability: Request a machine-readable export of your data.
• Objection: Object to certain processing of your data, including for marketing purposes.
• Opt-out of sale (CCPA): We do not sell personal information. California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@nameswithlove.com. We will respond within 30 days.

NamesWithLove is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the European Economic Area). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at privacy@nameswithlove.com and we will promptly delete it.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), secure password hashing, restricted database access, and regular security reviews.

While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage you to use strong, unique passwords for your account.

NamesWithLove is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. and other countries where our service providers operate (including the EU via Vercel's global CDN).

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and other appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers where required by applicable data protection laws.

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a prominent notice on the Service at least 14 days before the changes take effect. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.
