Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 3, 2026

This policy describes the current data flows on ShipName.net. The service does not currently provide accounts, subscriptions, payments, advertising, or cloud-saved name collections.

Name Inputs and Generated Results

When you submit two names, the browser sends those inputs and the selected context to the Ship Name Lab generation endpoint. The server processes them to return deterministic candidates.

We do not intentionally write submitted names or generated results to an account or application database. Hosting infrastructure may process normal request information, such as IP address, request time, user agent, and error data, for delivery, reliability, abuse prevention, and security.

Do not enter secret, sensitive, or unnecessary identifying information. Public name forms or nicknames are usually sufficient.

Local Shortlist

Saved candidates are stored in your browser's local storage under the key used by Ship Name Lab. The shortlist remains on that browser unless you clear site data or remove items. It is not synchronized to a Ship Name Lab account.

Analytics

When a production OpenPanel client ID is configured, ShipName.net uses OpenPanel for cookieless aggregate product analytics.

The integration may collect:

• page URL and referrer;
• browser, operating system, and device information;
• approximate city, region, and country derived by the provider;
• page views;
• product events such as generation, fallback, error category, copy, and shortlist actions;
• event properties such as selected context, result count, and structural score.

We deliberately do not send the two entered names or generated candidate text as analytics event properties. Session replay, automatic element-attribute tracking, automatic outgoing-link tracking, and account identification are disabled in our integration.

OpenPanel states that its analytics tracking does not store raw IP addresses, does not use analytics cookies, and uses a daily-rotating anonymous identifier. Review the provider's Privacy Policy and Next.js SDK documentation for its current practices.

If the OpenPanel client ID is not configured, that analytics component does not load.

Email

If you email us, we receive the address, message, and attachments you choose to send. We use that information to respond, investigate corrections or product problems, protect the service, and maintain necessary correspondence.

Do not email unrelated private information. Engine reports usually need only the public name forms, selected context, returned candidate, and engine version.

Cookies

Ship Name Lab does not currently set an account, payment, advertising, or analytics cookie in its application code. Infrastructure providers may use strictly necessary security or delivery mechanisms. External sites linked from our pages follow their own policies.

Advertising

ShipName.net does not currently display ads. The site is preparing to use Google AdSense, and the following disclosures apply before Google advertising code is activated.

Google and other third-party vendors may place and read cookies in a visitor's browser, or use web beacons, IP addresses, and other identifiers to collect information as a result of ad serving on this site. Google may use this information to serve, measure, and personalize ads, prevent fraud and abuse, and improve its advertising services.

Read How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services for details about Google's processing. Visitors can review or control personalized advertising through Google's Ads Settings and can learn about other industry opt-out choices at YourAdChoices.

Where applicable, including for visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, required consent controls will be shown before advertising cookies or personalized advertising are enabled. A visitor's available choices may include consenting to personalized advertising, receiving non-personalized advertising, or managing and withdrawing consent.

Advertising providers and consent requirements may change. Material changes will be reflected on this page before the affected advertising or data processing is enabled.

Data Sharing

Information may be processed by providers needed to host, secure, measure, or operate the site, and when required to comply with lawful requests or protect users and the service. We do not intentionally sell submitted names or email contact information.

Retention and Control

• Clear the shortlist by removing saved items or clearing browser site data.
• Analytics retention is controlled in the configured OpenPanel project and by the provider's terms.
• Email correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably needed for the request, security, recordkeeping, or legal obligations.
• To ask about information connected to an email request, contact us from the same address where practical.

Children

The service is a general creative tool and is not directed specifically to children. Do not submit sensitive information about a child. A parent or guardian can contact us about a privacy concern.

Changes

Material changes will update the effective date on this page. New accounts, payment, advertising, persistent cloud storage, or materially different analytics require this policy to be revised before those features are activated.
