Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2026

Overview

WhatsMyName is a browser-based username checker for public profile discovery. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use the site, how we use it, and which choices you have.

Information You Provide

When you run a username search, you may enter a username, handle, or public profile URL. The tool uses that input to check public profile patterns and show possible public matches. Do not enter sensitive personal information, passwords, private tokens, or information you are not allowed to search.

Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, we may collect basic technical information such as:

  • Browser type, device type, and operating system
  • Approximate location derived from IP address
  • Pages visited, referring pages, and interaction events
  • Basic performance, error, and security logs

We use this information to keep the site secure, improve the username checker, understand which pages are useful, and troubleshoot service issues.

How Username Searches Work

WhatsMyName checks public web patterns and platform responses. Results are leads, not identity proof. You are responsible for verifying any match before using it in a report, investigation, or decision.

Cookies and Analytics

We may use essential cookies for security and site functionality, plus privacy-conscious analytics to understand aggregate usage. You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may work less smoothly.

How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information only when needed for:

  • Hosting, analytics, security, and maintenance providers
  • Legal compliance, fraud prevention, or abuse investigations
  • Protecting the rights, safety, and integrity of WhatsMyName and its users

Data Retention

We keep technical logs and analytics only as long as needed for security, debugging, product improvement, and legal compliance. Public search results are generated from public web data and may change when platforms change their pages or policies.

Your Choices

  • You can use the public checker without creating an account.
  • You can clear cookies and local browser data at any time.
  • You can contact us about privacy questions or data requests.
  • You should avoid submitting sensitive or private information as search input.

Children's Privacy

WhatsMyName is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Responsible Use

Use WhatsMyName only for lawful public-information research. Do not use it to harass, stalk, dox, bypass access controls, or violate platform rules.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices, tools, or legal obligations change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
