At ShipNameGen, accessible from shipnamegenerator.co, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that are collected and recorded by the Site and how we use it. We are committed to maintaining the highest privacy standards, which is why our core utility operates under a **zero-data collection architecture** for name inputs.
1. Core Utility: Client-Side Processing
Unlike traditional online generator tools that upload your text entries to a remote server database for processing, ShipNameGen processes everything locally on your device. The code in generator.js runs entirely within your web browser (client-side JavaScript).
This means when you type the first name and second name in our generator fields and click "Generate Ship Name," the letters are combined in your browser's local memory. The names are never sent over the internet to our servers, nor are they saved in any server-side database. Your inputs remain private to you at all times. This is the ultimate guarantee of privacy and compliance.
2. Session Storage & Local Storage
To make the user experience more convenient, the Site uses your browser's localStorage API to save your recent session history (last 5 generated pairs) and your list of favorites (up to 10 saved pairs).
- This data is stored locally on your physical device and is managed entirely by your web browser.
- We do not have access to this local storage data. It is never transmitted to our servers or shared with any third party.
- You can clear this saved history and favorites list at any time by clearing your browser's site cookies and local storage cache, or by clicking the "Remove" buttons inside the drawers.
3. Log Files & Web Analytics
Like most standard websites, ShipNameGen follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this as part of hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files includes:
- Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
- Browser type (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox)
- Internet Service Provider (ISP)
- Date and time stamps
- Referring/exit pages and click counts
These logs are not linked to any personally identifiable information. The purpose of this data is for analyzing site traffic trends, administering the site, tracking user movement across pages, and gathering general demographic information to optimize our Core Web Vitals performance.
4. Cookies & Third-Party Cookies
ShipNameGen may use basic cookies to store visitor preferences and optimize page layouts. Additionally, we may work with third-party providers (such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense) who place cookies on your browser to measure site traffic or serve relevant advertisements.
These third-party providers use cookies, JavaScript, and web beacons to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and customize the advertising content you see. ShipNameGen has no access to or control over these cookies used by third-party advertisers. You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. Detailed information about cookie management can be found at your browser's respective website.
5. GDPR & CCPA Privacy Rights
We want to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every visitor is entitled to the following under GDPR and CCPA regulations:
- The Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data. (Since we collect no personal data, our response will confirm that we hold no records about you).
- The Right to Erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data. You can erase your local browser storage data yourself by clearing your browser cache.
- The Right to Object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data.
