Privacy Policy

Last updated: 08/01/2026

At Pet Name Generator (petnamegenerator.io), protecting your privacy matters to us. This page explains what information we collect when you visit our site, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep this policy in plain language on purpose — no legal jargon required to understand your rights.

🧑‍💼 Data Controller

The data controller responsible for this website — the person who determines how and why your data is processed — is Riley Fox, operating Pet Name Generator from Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. You can reach the data controller using the contact details at the bottom of this page.

📋 Information We Collect

You do not need an account to use our pet name generator, and we do not ask for your name, email, or any personal details to generate names. When you browse petnamegenerator.io, our hosting provider and analytics tools automatically log standard technical information, such as:

If you contact us through our Contact form, we collect the name, email, and message you choose to submit, solely to respond to your inquiry.

🍪 Cookies

Like most websites, we use cookies — small text files stored on your device — to remember your preferences and understand how visitors use our site. When you first visit petnamegenerator.io, you'll be asked to accept or manage cookies through our consent banner. You can change your preferences at any time or disable cookies entirely through your browser settings, though some site features may not work as intended without them.

📢 Advertising & Google AdSense

Pet Name Generator is free to use because it is supported by advertising. We use (or plan to use) Google AdSense to display ads on this site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to petnamegenerator.io and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also review how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

For visitors in the European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland, we use a consent management platform to request your permission before any personalized advertising cookies are set, in line with Google's EU User Consent Policy.

📊 Analytics

We use Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit) to understand how visitors interact with our site — which pages are popular, how people navigate the generator, and where we can improve. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

🔗 Third-Party Links

Our blog occasionally links to outside sources for further reading. We aren't responsible for the privacy practices of external websites, so we encourage you to review their own privacy policies before sharing any information with them.

🇺🇸 CCPA Privacy Rights (California)

If you're a California resident, you have the right to:

We do not sell personal data for money. However, like most sites that use advertising cookies, we do share limited technical data (such as your IP address and browsing behavior on this site) with Google via Google AdSense, which California law (CPRA) treats as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes — even though no money changes hands.

You can opt out of this sharing at any time through our cookie consent banner (accessible via the "Manage Consent" tab), by declining the "Marketing" cookie category, or via Global Privacy Control, which this site honors automatically.

🇪🇺 GDPR Data Protection Rights

If you're located in the European Economic Area, you have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict, or port your personal data, and to object to its processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact the data controller using the details below — we'll respond within one month.

🧒 Children's Privacy

Pet Name Generator does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly remove it.

📝 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
