Privacy policy
Baby Name List is a reference site. It has no accounts, no sign-up and no contact form, and it asks you for nothing.
The short version
- We collect no personal information from you directly.
- We set no cookies of our own and store nothing in your browser.
- We run no analytics.
- Three third parties are involved: our host, our advertising provider, and the service that supplies our typefaces. Each is described below.
What we collect ourselves
Nothing. There is no form on this site that submits personal information, no account to create, and no newsletter. We hold no database of visitors.
Hosting
The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare receives the information your browser sends when it requests a page: your IP address, the page requested, the time, your browser and operating system, and the page you came from. Cloudflare uses this to deliver the site and to protect it from attack and abuse.
Cloudflare may set its own cookies for security purposes — typically one
named __cf_bm, used to distinguish people from automated traffic.
We do not control or read these. Cloudflare's own privacy policy governs how
it handles this data.
Advertising
This site is served advertising by Google AdSense.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings.
- Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising at optout.aboutads.info.
Further detail is set out in how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
We do not receive, and cannot see, any personal information Google collects through these ads. We see only aggregate earnings reporting.
Typefaces
The site uses two typefaces served by Google Fonts. Loading them means your browser makes a request to Google's font servers, which discloses your IP address to Google. No cookie is set by that request.
Search
The name search runs entirely in your browser. Your browser downloads the list of names once and matches against it locally; what you type is never sent to us as a search query.
One thing to be aware of: when you submit the search form, the term appears
in the page address, as in /search/?q=amelia. That address is
requested from the host in the ordinary way, so the term appears in server
logs alongside the request. Typing in the box without submitting sends
nothing.

Children
This site is intended for adults choosing names. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information held about you, and to object to its processing. We hold no personal information about you, so in practice there is nothing for us to retrieve or erase. Requests concerning data held by Google or Cloudflare are best made to them directly, as they are the parties that hold it.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, the date below will change with it. There is no version history; the current text is the whole policy.
