Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you use Legacy Name to generate a Chinese name, we collect the following information:

• Personal details — your name, gender, date of birth, country, and occupation, which you provide as part of the naming process.
• Payment information — when you purchase a paid naming plan, your payment is processed securely through PayPal. We do not store your credit card or bank account details.
• Usage data — pages visited, referring URLs, browser type, and IP address collected automatically to improve our service.
• Generated names — the Chinese names generated for you are stored so you can access and share them later.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To generate personalized Chinese names based on BaZi and Wuxing analysis.
• To process payments and deliver paid naming services.
• To communicate with you about your naming results or respond to inquiries.
• To analyze usage patterns and improve our naming algorithms and user experience.
• To prevent abuse and enforce our rate limiting policies.

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share data only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers — PayPal processes payments on our behalf under their own privacy policy.
• Naming engine providers — your naming details are sent to our naming engine to generate results. We use only reputable providers and do not allow them to train models on your data.
• Legal requirements — if required by law or to protect our rights and safety.

4. Data Retention

We retain your naming requests and generated names indefinitely so that you can access your Chinese name at any time via its unique link. Usage analytics data is retained for up to 12 months. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting legacyname@legacyname.co.

5. Cookies & Tracking

We use minimal cookies for essential site functionality (such as admin session management). We do not use third-party advertising trackers or analytics cookies. Page views are recorded server-side for internal analytics only.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical measures to protect your data, including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), secure password hashing, and access controls. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data.
• Object to processing of your data for specific purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at legacyname@legacyname.co.

8. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of our service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
