Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 24, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how ALTIRA, Dubai, United Arab Emirates ("we", "us"), the operator of SmartName (the "Service"), collects and uses personal data when you use the Service. We keep the data we collect to what is needed to generate your names, deliver them and support you. Questions: support@smartname.ai.

1

Data we collect

  • Customer details: your name and e-mail address.
  • Account details (only if you create an account): your login password, stored in hashed form so that it cannot be read back, plus company name, phone number and address if you choose to enter them.
  • Questionnaire answers: what you tell us about your business and the kind of name you want.
  • Your results: the names and descriptions we generate for you, and the name you mark as your final choice, if any.
  • Featured Gallery application (optional): your website URL and comment, plus the title and description of your site that we fetch to check the application.
  • Reviews (optional): the review text and the display name you enter.
  • Payment: payment is handled by Paddle, our Merchant of Record. We never receive or store your card number. From Paddle we receive the transaction ID and the e-mail address used at checkout, which we keep as our record of the order.
  • Abuse prevention: your IP address when you log in, order or contact us, used only to count requests and limit automated abuse (rate limiting). Counts are reset after a short time.

How we use it

  • To generate your names and deliver the results to you on screen and by e-mail.
  • To answer your enquiries and provide support.
  • To confirm payment and keep records of orders.
  • To display Featured Gallery entries and reviews that you have chosen to submit.
  • To protect the Service from abuse.
  • To improve the Service, using statistics that do not identify individuals.

Where the law where you live requires a legal basis, we rely on the performance of our contract with you (orders and delivery), your consent (gallery, reviews, optional account fields) and our legitimate interests (security, records, improvement).

Use of AI

Names are generated with Claude, an AI model from Anthropic (United States). Your questionnaire answers are sent to Anthropic's servers for the sole purpose of generating your names. Under Anthropic's API terms, inputs sent through the API are not used to train its models. Please do not include personal data such as full names, addresses or anything confidential in the questionnaire.

4

Service providers and sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with the providers we need to run the Service, each acting on our instructions and only for the purposes above:

  • Anthropic (United States) - AI name generation
  • Paddle (United Kingdom) - payment processing, tax and receipts, as Merchant of Record
  • Resend (United States) - sending e-mail
  • Cloudflare (United States) - hosting and data storage

We may also disclose data where the law requires it, or with your consent. Because these providers are in other countries, your data may be transferred outside the country where you live; we choose providers that offer appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

5

How long we keep it

We keep your customer details, questionnaire answers and results after delivery, for as long as they are needed to support you and to keep records of the transaction. You can ask us to delete your data at any time (Section 8). Account holders can also close their account from My page: this deletes the account details (including password, company name, phone number and address) and login, and removes any Featured Gallery entry. Order records (name, e-mail address, questionnaire answers and results) are kept as transaction records, with the link to the account removed.

6

Cookies and local storage

We use one cookie, sn_session, which keeps you logged in for 30 days if you have an account. We also use your browser's local storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) to save drafts of your questionnaire and results so that you do not lose them if a page reloads. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies and we do not use third-party analytics. We only count page views per day on our own server, without any personal data. Because we use no non-essential cookies, no cookie banner is shown.

7

Security

We protect your data with appropriate measures, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords and access limited to what is needed to operate the Service.

8

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to object to or restrict its use, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, e-mail support@smartname.ai. We will verify your identity and respond promptly. You may also complain to the data-protection authority where you live.

9

Children

The Service is intended for businesses and adults. It is not directed at anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has provided us with data, please contact us and we will delete it.

10

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the law or the Service changes. The new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and important changes will be announced on the site.
