OUR POLICIES

Legal & Privacy

Last updated: May 2026

Naming your child is a profound responsibility—not a legal transaction. We keep our rules simple and transparent so you can focus on finding the right fit for your family.

Privacy Policy

We believe privacy policies should be easy to read. We do not save the names you type, we never sell your information, and your session data disappears when you leave the site.

1. No Data Storage

Finding a name for your child is a private experience. That is why we do not save your search history. When you enter names into our tool, we only use that information in the moment to generate results. Once you close the tab, our servers forget it completely. We do not track you or build user profiles.

2. Saved Names and Local Storage

If you decide to save a name, it stays on your own device. We use your browser's local storage to make this work. This means you do not need to create an account, and our servers never see your saved list. If you want to erase it, simply clear your browser cache.

3. Third-Party Services

To provide accurate name matches, the text you type is processed through our technology partners. Before sending any text, we remove all personal details. We also make sure our contracts prevent these partners from using your search data to train their systems.

Cloudflare Turnstile (Security)

We use Cloudflare Turnstile to protect our service from automated abuse. Turnstile operates invisibly and does not require any interaction from you. To perform verification, Cloudflare processes signals such as your IP address, User-Agent, and browser fingerprint. This processing is performed by Cloudflare as a data controller under their Turnstile Privacy Addendum. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in securing the service.

4. Contact Us

If you have any questions about how we handle data, please reach out. You can learn more about us on our About & Contact page, or write to us at hello@birthwaves.org.

We actively read our emails and will get back to you.

Terms of Service

Birthwaves is a free tool to help you find a baby name. We just ask that you use it normally. Please do not use automated scripts to scrape our site or slow down our servers.

1. Agreeing to the Rules

By using the website, you agree to these terms. This site is built for expecting parents. It is for personal use only, not for commercial projects.

2. Fair Use and Bots

Running the search tool takes server power. We offer this service for free, so we just ask that you do not abuse it. You may not use bots, scrapers, or automated software to copy our database. If we notice an unusual amount of rapid requests coming from one place, we reserve the right to block that connection to keep the site fast for real users.

3. Website Ownership

We own the website code, the design, and the search logic. But obviously, we do not own the names. Any name you find here is yours to use however you want. We do not claim any rights over the combinations our tool suggests.

4. No Guarantees or Liability

We built this site to give you good name ideas. However, we provide the service "as is." We try to be accurate, but we do not guarantee the historical background or meaning of any name. We are also not responsible if you later change your mind about the name you picked, or if your family members disagree with your choice.
