NamesPearl (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Site,” accessible at namespearl.com) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1.3 Cookies and Tracking Technologies
This Site currently does not run advertising and does not use a cookie consent (CMP) banner, because no advertising or ad-tracking cookies are in use at this time. We may use basic cookies or similar technologies required for the Site to function and, if enabled, for analytics (see Section 3). See our Cookie Policy for full, current details.
2. Advertising and Third-Party Vendors
Current status: This Site does not currently display third-party advertisements and is not enrolled in Google AdSense, Mediavine, or any other ad network. This section will be updated, and a cookie consent (CMP) tool will be added, before any such program is enabled.

- The specific ad network(s) used
- The types of cookies, device identifiers, or tracking technologies they set
- How to opt out of personalized advertising (e.g., via Google Ads Settings, the Digital Advertising Alliance, or a Mediavine privacy manager)
- The addition of a Consent Management Platform (CMP) where required by law
We encourage you to check back on this page periodically for updates.
3. Analytics

5. Your Privacy Rights
5.1 GDPR (European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland)
If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete your personal data
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Data portability
- Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
As this Site does not currently use advertising or non-essential tracking cookies, no cookie consent banner is presently required. If that changes, we will implement a Consent Management Platform (CMP) to obtain your consent before setting any non-essential cookies, as required by law.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold
- Request deletion of personal information
- Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (including for cross-context behavioral advertising)
- Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights
This Site does not currently sell or share personal information for advertising purposes. To exercise your rights under CCPA/CPRA, or to ask a question, please contact us at the email below. If the Site later adds advertising that involves the “sale” or “sharing” of data, we will add a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link and an opt-out mechanism at that time.
5.3 Other Jurisdictions
We aim to honor applicable privacy rights regardless of your location. Contact us with any request and we will respond in accordance with applicable law.
6. Children’s Privacy
NamesPearl is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or the relevant age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Some of our content (e.g., baby name lists) is informational and intended for use by parents, expecting parents, or adult researchers — not for direct engagement by children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete it.
If this Site adds third-party advertising in the future, we will take steps to ensure ad partners serve age-appropriate, non-personalized ads where required, consistent with applicable regulations such as COPPA.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
9. Third-Party Links
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
10. International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, which may have different data protection laws.
11. Changes to This Policy
