Information We Collect
InitiateGen operates as an AI-powered name generation platform at https://www.initiategen.com. We collect specific categories of information to deliver our services effectively. This includes data you provide directly when using our tools, such as input prompts for name generation, preferred styles, or industry categories. If you create an account or subscribe to updates, we gather your email address and any profile details you share.
- Usage data: Interactions with our AI generator, including generated names, session durations, and feature selections.
- Technical data: IP addresses, browser types, device information, and operating systems collected automatically via cookies and similar technologies.
- Contact information: Email addresses submitted for support inquiries or newsletter sign-ups.
We do not collect sensitive personal information such as financial details, health data, or precise geolocation unless explicitly required for a feature you opt into.
How We Collect Information
Data collection occurs through several methods tailored to our name generation services. When you input queries into our AI tool, we process those directly to produce relevant name suggestions. Server logs capture essential technical metrics to ensure platform reliability.
Third-party services like analytics providers and cloud hosting may assist in collection, always under strict contractual limits. For instance, form submissions for feedback route through secure processors that log minimal metadata.
Purpose of Data Use
We utilize collected information solely to enhance your experience with InitiateGen’s AI name generator. Primary uses include:
- Generating customized name ideas based on your prompts.
- Personalizing recommendations for future sessions.
- Improving our AI models through aggregated, anonymized usage patterns.
- Sending transactional emails, such as confirmation of generated results or account updates.
- Preventing fraud and maintaining service integrity.
Names generated by our AI are provided for your personal or business use. However, you must independently verify any potential trademark conflicts or legal availability before commercial adoption. InitiateGen does not guarantee uniqueness or freedom from third-party rights.
Sharing and Disclosure
InitiateGen does not sell your personal information to third parties. We share data only in limited circumstances:
- With service providers who support our operations, such as cloud storage for AI computations and email delivery services, bound by data protection agreements.
- In response to legal requirements, court orders, or government requests.
- For business transfers, such as mergers, where data would remain subject to equivalent protections.
No sharing occurs for marketing purposes without your explicit consent. Aggregated insights from usage may inform public reports on name generation trends, stripped of identifiable details.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our platform employs cookies, pixels, and local storage to optimize functionality. Essential cookies enable core features like saving recent generations. Performance cookies analyze traffic patterns to refine AI response times.
You can manage preferences via browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit access to certain tools. We use first-party cookies primarily, with third-party analytics limited to anonymized data.
- Session cookies: Expire upon browser close, used for temporary state management.
- Persistent cookies: Store preferences across visits, deletable anytime.
For detailed lists, review our cookie banner or contact us at [email protected].
Data Security
Protecting your information is paramount. We implement industry-standard measures including encryption for data in transit and at rest, regular security audits, and access controls. AI processing occurs on secure servers with role-based permissions.
Despite these efforts, no online service offers absolute security. We notify affected users promptly in case of breaches as required by applicable laws.
Data Retention
We retain information only as necessary. Account data persists while active, with deletion upon request. Usage logs for AI improvement aggregate after 12 months, anonymizing specifics sooner.
Generated names tied to sessions delete after 30 days unless saved by you. Legal obligations may extend retention for compliance records.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you hold rights over your data:
- Access: Request copies of your information.
- Correction: Update inaccurate details.
- Deletion: Remove non-essential data.
- Objection: Opt out of certain processing.
- Portability: Receive data in structured format.
Exercise these by emailing [email protected]. We respond within statutory timelines, verifying identity first. For California residents, additional CCPA rights apply, including opt-out of sales (which we do not conduct).
Newsletter subscribers can unsubscribe via link in emails. Do-not-track signals are honored where feasible.
International Data Transfers
InitiateGen, based in the United States, may transfer data to affiliates or providers globally. We ensure adequacy through Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards for regions like the EU.
Children’s Privacy
Our services target general audiences and do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. Parents or guardians suspecting such collection should contact [email protected] for removal.
Third-Party Links
The platform may link to external sites, such as trademark databases for verification. We bear no responsibility for their privacy practices. Review those policies separately.
Compliance with Laws
We adhere to applicable regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and emerging AI-specific rules. Automated decisions in name generation rely on user inputs without profiling for legal effects.
Users outside the US consent to US-based processing and jurisdiction.
Changes to This Policy
Updates reflect evolving practices or laws. Significant changes post notification via email or site banner. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
Review periodically at https://www.initiategen.com/privacy.
