01.Overview & Privacy Philosophy
NameFacts is designed as a standalone entertainment and utility mobile application that provides astrological insights, character facts, lucky numbers, and numerology readings based on two user-provided parameters: your Name and your Date of Birth (DOB).
We firmly believe that fun and curiosity should never come at the expense of your personal privacy. Unlike many modern applications that upload personal profiles to remote analytics warehouses, NameFacts is engineered with an uncompromising privacy-by-design architecture: zero remote data collection, zero network transmission, and 100% on-device execution.
02.User Input: Name & Date of Birth (DOB)
To experience the features of NameFacts, you are invited to provide:
- Your Name (or a nickname): Used locally to compute numerological values (e.g., Destiny/Expression numbers) and name-based character traits.
- Your Date of Birth (Day, Month, Year): Used locally to determine your Western astrological zodiac sign, planetary rulers, elements, and Life Path numbers.
How This Input Is Treated
Both your name and date of birth are processed solely inside the temporary runtime memory of your smartphone while the app is active. They are never sent to external servers, never shared with third parties, and never combined with any unique hardware identifiers or advertising IDs.
03.100% On-Device Computation
All mathematical algorithms, calendar calculations, astrological formulas, and numerological interpretations packaged in NameFacts are self-contained within the compiled application binary installed on your phone.
When you press “Generate” or view your reading:
- The application executes its built-in algorithms directly on your phone's processor (CPU).
- The calculated results (horoscope traits, lucky numbers, personality summaries) are displayed immediately on your screen.
- No internet communication occurs during this entire process. You can switch your device to Airplane Mode or disconnect from all WiFi and cellular networks, and NameFacts will continue to function completely and identically.
04.No Data Collection & No Data Sharing
In accordance with Google Play Developer Policies and global data privacy standards:
No Data Collected
We do not collect personal identifiers, email addresses, IP addresses, location coordinates, phone numbers, contacts, or biometric data.
No Data Shared
We do not sell, rent, monetize, broker, or transmit any user information to any third parties, advertising networks, or commercial affiliates.
05.Third-Party Services & Tracking SDKs
Many mobile apps include third-party software development kits (SDKs) for telemetry, analytics, and advertising. NameFacts explicitly avoids this:
- No Advertising SDKs: There is no Google AdMob, Unity Ads, AppLovin, or any commercial ad SDK embedded in the app. No Google Advertising ID (AAID) is gathered.
- No Analytics SDKs: We do not include Google Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, Segment, Flurry, or other tracking code to monitor your usage patterns.
- No Social Network SDKs: There are no Facebook Graph SDKs, social trackers, or external single sign-on (SSO) libraries.
- No Remote Crash Telemetry with PII: Any unexpected system exceptions are captured strictly by standard Android OS crash dialogs managed by Google Play, without customized tracking of user inputs.
06.Device Permissions & Hardware Access
NameFacts is crafted to run with zero dangerous or sensitive Android runtime permissions.
| Permission Category | Status in NameFacts | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Location (GPS / Network) | NOT REQUESTED | Astrology calculations do not require your geographical position. |
| Contacts & Phone State | NOT REQUESTED | No contact access, phone calls, or phone identity inspection. |
| Camera & Microphone | NOT REQUESTED | No audio or photo recording capabilities exist. |
| Photos, Media & Storage | NOT REQUESTED | Operates inside its own sandboxed storage without external read/write permissions. |
| Internet Access | NOT REQUIRED | All astrology engines execute locally without internet connectivity. |
07.Data Retention & User Deletion Rights
Google Play requires apps to outline their data retention and deletion policies:
Remote Data Retention: None
Because NameFacts never collects or transmits data to any cloud server, database, or backend service, there is zero remote user data stored, retained, or backed up by the developer. We maintain no server records of any individual user, name, or birth date.
How You Can Erase All Local Data Instantly
If the app retains your last-entered preferences or history for your personal convenience, that data resides solely in the private, sandboxed app directory on your device. You have total control to permanently erase it at any moment:
- Clear App Storage: Open your Android device Settings > Apps > NameFacts > Storage & cache > “Clear Storage” / “Clear Data”. This immediately wipes all local files.
- Uninstall the App: Uninstalling NameFacts prompts the Android operating system to immediately and irreversibly delete the app's sandboxed directory and all associated local data.
08.Security Architecture
The most reliable security guarantee is not encrypting data in transit, but eliminating transit altogether. By ensuring that your Name and Date of Birth never leave your physical device:
- There is zero risk of data interception during network transmission (man-in-the-middle attacks).
- There is zero risk of remote server leaks, cloud database breaches, or unauthorized credential exposure.
- Your device's native Android Linux kernel sandboxing isolates NameFacts from other applications on your device, preventing unauthorized third-party apps from inspecting its internal memory.
09.Children's Privacy (COPPA & Families Policy)
NameFacts is safe for general audiences of all ages. We strictly comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR-K), and Google Play's Families Policy:
- NameFacts does not knowingly collect, request, or solicit any personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union).
- Because all processing is 100% on-device and no data collection functionality exists in the app binary, no child's personal information is ever harvested, stored, or distributed.
- If a parent or guardian has questions about the app's behavior, please feel free to reach out using our contact details below.
