Privacy Policy & Data Security
At UserName Available Checker, we believe brainstorming your next handle, creator identity, or company brand is private intellectual property. We do not track, log, monetize, or front-run the usernames you search.
Zero Search Logs
We never record or monitor the keywords, handles, or domain names entered into our search bar.
No Accounts Required
100% open tool. No email signups, passwords, phone numbers, or user profile creation.
No Front-Running
We never register, reserve, or broker searched usernames or domain names to extort users.
Client-Side Storage
Search history is stored strictly on your local device (localStorage) and can be purged anytime.
1. Introduction & Scope
This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which UserName Available Checker ("we", "us", or "our", accessible at usernameavailablechecker.com) collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information gathered from users ("User", "you") of our web utility.
We operate under a fundamental belief in privacy by design. Our architecture ensures that verification queries operate as ephemeral lookups without retaining records of what individual users search for.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
Unlike traditional web platforms that build commercial profiles, UserName Available Checker explicitly refrains from harvesting:
3. Local Storage & Device Persistence
To provide convenient brainstorming features, our web application utilizes your browser's local storage (localStorage) to retain:
- Recent Searches: Your last checked handles (so you can review availability results quickly).
- Theme Preferences: Your preferred visual mode (Dark Mode or Light Mode).
4. Real-Time Probes & Third-Party Platforms
When checking username availability, our service uses a combination of direct browser queries, public APIs, and stateless edge probes to inspect whether a profile exists on services such as Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, GitHub, Discord, Steam, and others.
When you click "Claim Handle" or "View Profile", you are redirected to the official website or registration portal of that third party. These external services are operated independently and have their own distinct privacy policies and terms of service. We encourage you to review their policies upon visiting.
5. Cookies & Analytics Policy
UserName Available Checker does not use invasive cross-site tracking cookies. Any analytical measurements we conduct are aggregated, anonymized, and used solely to monitor site performance, uptime, latency, and system error rates.
You may configure your browser to reject all cookies or notify you when cookies are sent. Since our tool does not require cookie authentication, core username availability checks will continue to function without restriction.
6. Compliance with Global Regulations (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)
European Union GDPR Compliance
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), users possess rights regarding data access, rectification, portability, and erasure. Because we do not store, process, or link personal identifiers to queries, we hold no user data to disclose or delete.
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA)
We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for monetary or commercial gain. Under California Civil Code Section 1798.83, California residents may request confirmation of our non-sale practices at any time.
7. Children's Privacy (COPPA)
Our services are not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately for prompt removal.
8. Information Security & Encryption
We employ industry-standard TLS/SSL encryption across all connections to protect data in transit. While no digital transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as 100% impenetrable, our zero-storage architecture ensures that even in the unlikely event of an infrastructure incident, no user search logs exist to be compromised.
9. Updates to This Policy
We reserve the right to revise or update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect emerging features, platform additions, or regulatory modifications. When updates occur, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document will be amended. Continued use of the website following changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
