Draft, not legally reviewed. We're publishing this as a placeholder so anyone curious can see our intent. The final version will be reviewed by a lawyer before it's linked from the main navigation or indexed. Until then, treat this as a description of practice, not a binding contract.
What we collect
- Aggregate visit data from Vercel's built-in analytics: page views, country, device type. No cookies, no individual identifier.
- Your gender vote on a name page, stored as a counter in Upstash Redis under
vote:<slug>. We store only the counter, never your IP or browser fingerprint. - Contribution form submissions. When you send a pronunciation recording or correction, we collect the content you typed, your name (only if you provide it), and optionally your email if you want a reply. Submissions go to our internal email via Resend; they're not posted publicly without your sign-off.
- localStorage entries, one entry per name you've voted on, to prevent double-voting. See /cookies for details.
What we don't collect
- No third-party advertising trackers.
- No Google Analytics or similar funnel tools.
- No session-replay recorders.
- No social-graph cookies (Facebook Pixel, etc.).
- No personal data sold to anyone, ever.
How long we keep things
- Vote counters: kept indefinitely as aggregate totals. Individual votes are not tracked, so there's nothing to delete per-user.
- Contribution form submissions: kept in our inbox while the review is open; deleted within 90 days of publication or rejection.
- Audio you contribute: kept on the site permanently with the credit you chose, unless you ask us to remove it.
Your rights
You can ask us to:
- Remove a pronunciation you contributed.
- Remove a name correction you sent.
- Tell you everything we have associated with your email address.
Email info@nigeriannames.com with the subject “Privacy request” and we'll respond within a week.
