Privacy Policy

Summary

NameChase collects the minimum needed to run a droplist viewer with accounts: your email address, your tier, and the watchlist and saved searches you create. We don’t sell data, don’t run advertising or third-party analytics, and don’t track you across other sites.

Who’s responsible

AlmostAnEngineer Ltd (registered in England and Wales, company no. 17280331; registered office 17A The Avenue, Newton Abbot, TQ12 2BZ) operates NameChase and is the controller for the personal data described here.

ICO data-protection registration is in progress and will be added here once issued. Contact: privacy@namechase.uk.

What we collect

• Email address — to create your account and send magic-link sign-in emails.
• Account attributes — your tier and role, and timestamps for creation and sign-in.
• Content you create — the domains on your watchlist and your saved filter searches.
• Operational logs — our hosting providers process standard request logs (including IP address) transiently for security and reliability.

Cookies

We use only strictly-necessary storage: one cookie that keeps you signed in, and your theme preference saved in your browser’s local storage. No analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies — so there is no consent banner to click through.

Why, and our lawful basis

We process your email and account attributes to provide the service you asked for (performance of a contract / your request to take part in the beta). Operational logging relies on our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure and available. We’ll only email you about your account and the service, not marketing, unless you opt in.

Processors we use

• Supabase — database and authentication (stores your account and content).
• Vercel — application hosting and request handling.
• Cloudflare — object storage for archived drop-list files (contains no personal data) and network services.
• Email delivery provider — to send sign-in emails (to be finalised before launch).

Some providers process data outside the UK under appropriate safeguards.

Retention

We keep your account data for as long as your account exists. Delete your account (or ask us to) and we remove your email, watchlist, and saved searches. Provider logs age out on their own short schedules. Archived drop-list files contain only public domain names and drop times — no personal data.

Your rights & controls

From your account page you can download all your data (profile, watchlist, saved searches) and delete your account — deletion has a 14-day grace period you can cancel, after which everything is permanently removed.

You can also ask us to access, correct, export, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data by email: privacy@namechase.uk. You have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes

We’ll update this page as the service develops and note the date above. Significant changes will be flagged to signed-in users.
