Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 28, 2026
This policy describes how Village Name Generator (“we,” “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use https://villagenamegenerator.com, including when we display third-party advertising (such as Google AdSense). By using the site, you agree to this policy alongside our Terms of Service.
Who we are and scope
Village Name Generator provides free naming tools and related articles. This policy applies to information processed through our public website. Features may change over time; the “Last updated” date above reflects the latest material changes.
Information we collect
We may collect the following categories of information:
- Technical and usage data: IP address (often in truncated or aggregated form), device and browser type, operating system, general geographic region (e.g., country or city level), referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps.
- Information you provide: content you send when you email us (for example, support or privacy requests), including your email address and message text.
- Cookies and identifiers: data stored on or read from your device as described in the cookies section below.
Cookies and similar technologies
We and our partners use cookies, local storage, web beacons (pixels), and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences where applicable, analyze traffic, and deliver or measure advertising. We and third parties may also use IP addresses and similar identifiers for security, analytics, and ad delivery. Some cookies are “first-party” (set by us); others are “third-party” (set by analytics or advertising partners).
You can control cookies through your browser settings (including blocking or deleting cookies). If you disable certain cookies, parts of the site—including ad delivery or measurement—may not function as intended.
Advertising (including Google AdSense)
We may participate in the Google AdSense program or use other advertising networks. As a result of ad serving on this website, third parties (including Google and other ad technology providers) may place and read cookies on your browser, use web beacons, and use IP addresses or similar identifiers to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud, and cap frequency.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info (where available). For technical detail on Google’s ad products, see Google: Advertising.
- Third-party advertisers are independent controllers of their own data practices. Their use of information is governed by their respective privacy policies.
Google publisher disclosures
To meet Google Publisher Policies privacy-disclosure requirements for sites that use Google advertising products, we state clearly: data collection, sharing, and usage that occurs because of our use of Google products and services (including cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, and ad measurement) is described in this policy. For Google’s own explanation of how it uses data in this context, read:
How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps (google.com/policies/privacy/partners)
More detail on publisher privacy obligations appears in Google’s help center: Privacy disclosures (Publisher Policies), which works together with the AdSense Program policies.
European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland: Where required, we comply with Google’s EU User Consent Policy for the use of cookies or local storage where those uses relate to Google’s advertising products, including obtaining consent where that policy requires it.
How we use information
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website and its features.
- Measure audience size, traffic patterns, and content performance.
- Deliver and measure advertising, including contextual or personalized ads where permitted.
- Detect, prevent, and respond to abuse, fraud, or security issues.
- Respond to your messages and comply with legal obligations.
Sharing and service providers
We may share information with:
- Service providers who assist with hosting, analytics, email delivery, or security, subject to contractual protections.
- Advertising partners (such as Google and similar networks) to show and measure ads.
- Authorities when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and integrity.
We do not sell your personal information for money in the traditional sense of a data broker sale.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:
- Access or receive a copy of certain personal information.
- Request correction or deletion, subject to exceptions.
- Opt out of certain processing for targeted advertising where applicable.
- Appeal a decision we make about a privacy request where required by law.
US state laws: Residents of California, Virginia, Colorado, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws may have additional rights (such as access, deletion, correction, or opt-out of certain “sales” or targeted advertising) depending on how we process data. Submit requests using the contact email below; we will verify and respond as required by applicable law.
To exercise rights, email hello@villagenamegenerator.com with “Privacy request” in the subject line. We may need to verify your request before responding.
Cookie choices on this site: You can accept or reject non-essential cookies and advertising storage using the banner when it appears. To change your choice later, use Cookie settings in the footer (it clears your saved preference and shows the banner again).
Children’s privacy
The site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have collected a child’s information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
We do not use interest-based advertising (including remarketing) to target past or current activity by users known to us to be under 13, consistent with expectations for sites that are not directed to children under 13 under applicable rules such as COPPA.
Retention and security
We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required by law. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information; no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
International visitors
If you access the site from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where we or our providers operate, which may have different data protection rules than your country.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Material changes may be highlighted where appropriate. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
