At NikkName (accessible at https://nikkname.com), your privacy is one of our primary priorities. This Privacy Policy document details the types of information that is collected and recorded by NikkName, how we use it, and your legal rights regarding your personal information.

3. Information We Collect

NikkName follows a principle of data minimization. The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, are made clear to you at the point of request:

• Direct Contact Data: If you contact us directly via our Contact form or email, we may receive your name, email address, the contents of the message, and any attachments you may send.
• Log Files & Technical Usage Data: Like most web servers, NikkName uses log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.
• Client-Side Local Storage: Generated nickname favorites and language preferences are stored locally on your device via HTML5 LocalStorage and essential session cookies. This data remains on your browser and is not transmitted to our servers for profiling.
