Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 1, 2025

1. Who We Are

NameRight is a document guidance and preparation tool that helps individuals navigate the legal name and gender marker change process in the United States. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice.

Contact: support@nameright.app

2. Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Many of our users are LGBTQ+ individuals whose safety depends on the confidentiality of their personal information. We take this responsibility seriously. Your data is encrypted, never sold, and never shared with third parties for advertising purposes.

You are always in control of your data. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from your Settings page or by emailing us.

3. Information We Collect

Account information: Email address and password (hashed) when you create an account.

Profile information: U.S. state, name change reason category, privacy preferences, timeline, and checklist status. Your current legal name and chosen name are optional and only used to personalize your filing plan.

Payment information: We do not store payment card details. Payments are processed securely by PayPal and our payment processor under their own privacy policies.

Usage data: Pages visited and features used, collected anonymously to improve the product.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to:

  • Generate your personalized name change guide and checklist
  • Save and sync your progress across sessions
  • Send policy change alerts relevant to your state (opt-out available)
  • Respond to support requests
  • Improve and maintain the NameRight platform

We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising profiling.

5. Third-Party Services

We use a limited number of third-party services to operate NameRight:

  • Supabase — encrypted database and authentication
  • Creem — payment processing
  • PayPal — alternative payment processing
  • Vercel — website hosting

These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and may not use it for any purpose beyond providing their services to us.

6. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will review and process deletion of your personal data within a reasonable timeframe, subject to account security, fraud prevention, legal, tax, and operational requirements. Payment transaction records may be retained for up to 7 years as required by financial regulations.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data at any time. Email support@nameright.app and we will review and respond to privacy-related requests within a reasonable timeframe, subject to verification, security, and operational requirements.

8. Analytics and Cookies

We use limited analytics tools to understand how the product is used and improve the experience. We do not use advertising trackers or sell your data.

9. Anonymous Mode

When Anonymous Mode is enabled, NameRight pauses session-level analytics for that browsing session. Essential security, fraud-prevention, and service integrity logs may still be retained to keep the platform safe and reliable.

Anonymous Mode does not create a private browsing session in your browser or on your device. For additional privacy, consider using a privacy-focused browser profile or email address.

10. Security

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. We use hashed passwords, row-level database security, and regular security reviews. For users with heightened safety needs, we recommend using a privacy-focused email address and the Quick Exit button visible in your browser tab.

11. Children's Privacy

NameRight is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

12. Changes to This Policy

We will notify you of material changes by email and by updating this page with a new effective date.
