Privacy-First Commitment

Privacy Policy & Data Protection

At nameforpet.com, we believe choosing a name for your pet should be delightful, creative, and completely private. This policy outlines our on-device Vision AI architecture, forthcoming user authentication systems, and product store standards.

Last Updated: November 1, 2026Covers Current Site, Upcoming User Accounts & Store

100% On-Device Vision AI

Pet photos uploaded for name suggestions are processed locally in your web browser via WebGL. Images are not harvested or stored on external cloud databases.

Upcoming Login & Accounts

Our planned user login system will use salted password hashing, encrypted sessions, and GDPR-compliant data export and deletion mechanisms.

Upcoming Product Store

When ordering custom engraved pet bands, payment information will be tokenized via certified PCI-DSS Level 1 payment providers (e.g. Stripe/PayPal). We never store raw card numbers.

No Data Selling

We never sell, rent, or monetize your personal information or pet images with third-party data brokers or advertising exchanges.

Information We Collect & How It Is Used

We collect only the minimum information necessary to deliver our services:

  • Pet Images & Computer Vision Data: Photos uploaded to the AI Name Finder are decoded directly in client memory to extract coat colors and classify breed traits. This process runs on your device without transmitting raw photos to our servers.
  • Local Preferences & Favorites: Your saved pet names and personalized gallery selections are stored in your browser's local storage (localStorage) so they remain available between visits without requiring an account.
  • Usage & Performance Telemetry: Anonymized technical metrics (such as browser type, approximate viewport width, and error logs) may be collected to troubleshoot site responsiveness and performance.

User Login & Account Authentication (Upcoming Features)

As we roll out our upcoming user login and profile system, the following policies will govern user accounts:

  • Account Credentials: If you register an account, we collect your name or username and email address. Passwords are never stored in plaintext; they are securely hashed using modern cryptographic algorithms (such as bcrypt or Argon2).
  • Social Authentication (OAuth): If you choose to log in using third-party providers (such as Google or Apple Sign-In), we receive only your verified email and authentication token. We do not access your contacts, private profile data, or passwords on those platforms.
  • Cross-Device Syncing: Account registration enables syncing your saved names, customized bands, and pet gallery across multiple smartphones and computers.
  • Account Deletion: You will retain the absolute right to delete your account and all associated profile data at any time via your account settings or by contacting us.

E-Commerce & Product Store (Pet Bands & Merchandise)

For our upcoming simple product store offering customized engraved pet bands and accessories:

  • Order Details: We collect necessary shipping details (recipient name, mailing address, contact phone number) strictly for physical delivery and fulfillment of ordered pet products.
  • Payment Card Protection: Payment transactions are executed through certified, PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant payment gateways (such as Stripe or PayPal). nameforpet.com does not collect, process, or store credit card numbers or security CVV codes.
  • Order History: Receipts, order tracking information, and custom band engraving specifications are retained only as long as necessary for tax compliance, warranty, and returns handling.

Cookies & Local Storage

We prioritize privacy by using minimal, strictly necessary cookies and local storage tokens to remember your preferences (such as language filters, saved name lists, and active session tokens once logged in). We do not deploy invasive cross-site tracking cookies.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you possess the following rights:

Right to Access & Portability

Request a complete copy of the data associated with your profile or orders.

Right to Erasure ("Be Forgotten")

Right to Rectification
