Information We Gather from You
At Ark Nook, we focus on providing AI-powered name generation tools to help users create unique business names, character names, and more. When you visit https://www.arknook.com, we collect only the information necessary to deliver our services effectively. This includes details you provide directly, such as when you enter prompts for name suggestions or sign up for our newsletter.
Personal identifiers like your email address come into play if you choose to subscribe to updates or contact us. We also gather usage data, including the types of names you’re generating—fantasy realms, tech startups, or pet brands—to improve our AI models without tying it back to you personally.
- Account information: Username and email if you create an account for saving favorites.
- Input data: Prompts you submit for name generation, processed in real-time and not stored long-term.
- Technical details: IP address, browser type, device info, and pages visited, all anonymized for analytics.
We do not require payment details since our core service is free, though premium features might involve third-party processors in the future.
Automatic Data Collection Methods
Your interactions with our name generator trigger automatic collection of certain metrics. For instance, we log how many names you generate per session or which categories you prefer, like “sci-fi” or “e-commerce.” This helps refine algorithms to suggest better matches next time.
Through cookies and similar tech, we track session durations and referral sources. If you arrive from a search engine looking for “AI business name ideas,” that context enhances your experience without compromising privacy.
Generated names belong to you for personal or commercial use, but we advise checking for existing trademarks via official databases to avoid conflicts. Our tool sparks creativity; final validation is your responsibility.
Purposes for Using Your Information
We harness collected data to power the name generation engine. Your prompts train our models anonymously, ensuring diverse outputs like quirky café names or sleek app titles. Email addresses from sign-ups receive tailored suggestions or updates on new features.
Analytics drive improvements: If many users request “vintage brand names,” we prioritize those styles. Security measures use IP logs to detect unusual activity, protecting everyone.
No data fuels unrelated ads; our goal remains laser-focused on elevating your naming process.
Sharing Practices and Disclosures
Ark Nook shares minimal data externally. Service providers like cloud hosts for AI processing or analytics firms (e.g., Google Analytics) access anonymized aggregates only, bound by strict agreements.
In legal scenarios—such as court orders—we comply fully. Mergers or acquisitions might transfer data, but users get notice where feasible.
- No sales to marketers.
- No sharing with name competitors.
- Third parties vetted for compliance with global standards like GDPR.
For generated names, we retain no ownership; they’re yours, subject to trademark checks as noted.
Cookies, Pixels, and Similar Technologies
Cookies enable seamless sessions, remembering your recent generations so you can refine them. Essential ones handle functionality; optional ones improve personalization, like suggesting similar styles to past prompts.
We use pixels from partners for performance insights. You control these via browser settings or our cookie banner. Opting out doesn’t hinder core name generation.
Local storage saves temporary preferences, cleared on logout. Detailed logs reveal: Functional cookies (always on), Analytics (opt-out available), no advertising trackers.
Protecting Your Data
Security is foundational. We encrypt transmissions with HTTPS, store data in fortified servers, and conduct regular audits. Access limited to essential staff under NDAs.
AI processing happens on secure, isolated environments. Prompts are deleted post-generation unless you save them explicitly.
Despite best efforts, no system is impenetrable; we notify affected users promptly if breaches occur.
Your Control Over Data
Transparency empowers you. Access your info via account dashboard—view, edit, or delete saved names and profiles. Unsubscribe from emails anytime with one click.
California residents invoke CCPA rights: Know, delete, opt-out of sales (none occur). EU users leverage GDPR—request portability or erasure at [email protected].
- Deletion requests processed within 45 days.
- Verification via email or account link.
- Do Not Track signals honored where possible.
For name outputs, download and use freely, but verify uniqueness independently.
Privacy for Younger Users
Our services target adults crafting professional names. No one under 13 can use the site; we lack COPPA mechanisms. If we learn of underage data, it’s deleted immediately.
Parents, contact us to review family-linked accounts.
Cross-Border Data Flows
Hosting in the US with global users means transfers occur. Providers ensure adequacy—EU-US Data Privacy Framework for Europeans. Contracts mandate protections equivalent to local laws.
Your prompts zip through secure channels, processed swiftly anywhere.
Retaining Your Information
Data lifespan matches purpose. Session logs purge after 30 days; accounts inactive for two years face deletion prompts. Newsletters retain opted-in emails indefinitely until unsubscribe.
Legal holds extend retention if required.
Third-Party Links and Services
Links to trademark tools or social shares lead off-site; their policies apply. Embedding maps or fonts from Google? Review their notices.
We integrate no login federations currently.
Special Notes on AI-Generated Content
Names from our AI draw from public patterns, not proprietary secrets. Users own outputs for their projects—logos, domains, whatever—but must search trademarks themselves. Tools like USPTO or EUIPO databases confirm availability.
We disclaim liability for conflicts; creativity tools aren’t legal advice.
