Information We Collect
We adhere to data minimization principles. We only collect the minimal information necessary to deliver, optimize, and protect our naming tools:
A. Direct Communications
When you contact us via email at info@namearcane.com or through our contact forms, we receive your name, email address, subject, and any message details you provide to fulfill your request.
B. Device & Usage Telemetry
When accessing Name Arcane, our servers and analytics providers automatically record standard non-personally identifiable log information, including your IP address (anonymized), browser type, referring URLs, operating system, pages viewed, and timestamps.
C. Client-Side Local Storage
When you save names to your Favorites drawer or toggle dark/light theme, this preference is stored solely in your browser's local memory (localStorage). We do not transmit or store your saved name lists on our servers.
How We Use Your Information
We utilize collected data strictly for the following purposes:
- To provide, operate, and maintain the functionality of our 1,880+ generators and lore hubs.
- To answer questions, generator suggestions, and technical inquiries submitted to our editorial team.
- To analyze aggregated traffic patterns and optimize page load speeds, search algorithms, and server latency.
- To protect against malicious abuse, denial-of-service attempts, spam bots, and security vulnerabilities.
Cookies and Analytics Technologies
Name Arcane uses essential cookies and aggregated analytics:
Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager to monitor general traffic flow (such as popular generator hubs and bounce rates) to improve user navigation. This data is collected in aggregate and does not identify individual visitors.
