What this site collects, and what it does not.
The lookup runs in your browser. It downloads this site's file for the first letter of the name and finds the name in it, so the name itself is not sent anywhere. If you open a link that carries a name, the page takes the name out of the address before Google Analytics or Google's ads load, so neither receives it.
Analytics records the shape of a lookup and never the name: whether it was a first or last name, whether the data had it, a rough band for how common it is, and whether you shared the result.
The pages for individual names, such as /last/smith/, are public pages about that name. Visiting one is counted like a visit to any other page.
Under each name result you can vote on what your name should go on next. The vote sends only the items you tick, to this site's own server; it never includes a name or anything you typed. We keep a count for each item. For one day we also keep a scrambled code made from your connection, used only to stop repeat voting, which can't be turned back into your address. Nothing else about the vote is kept.
This site uses Google Analytics to count visits: which pages are viewed, roughly where visitors are and what device they use, and how they arrived. It uses cookies to do that.
This site shows ads served by Google. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies 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 to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google's Ads Settings, and out of personalized advertising from some other vendors at optout.aboutads.info. How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
The site is hosted on Amazon Web Services, which receives what any website receives: your IP address, your browser, and the page you asked for.
