Simply Named privacy policy

Who we are

Simply Named is published by Appsolutely Fabulous, which is the data controller for this policy. Contact: support@appsolutelyfabulous.co.uk.

What stays on your device

Everything you enter stays on your device: journey answers, surname, sibling and pet details, notes, shortlists, saved groups and settings. Recommendations are worked out on your device. There are no accounts, no cloud sync and no usage tracking, and we never receive this information.

Optional reminders are scheduled on your device. On Android, app backup is turned off for Simply Named, so this information is not copied to your Google account backup.

Purchases on Google Play

On Android, the one-time unlock is sold through Google Play. Google processes the payment, and the app asks Google Play on your device whether you own the unlock. We never receive your payment details. As the seller, we can see the order details Google Play shows us in its console, such as the order number, product, price and country. Google Play restores the unlock on any device signed in to the same Google Play account.

The app may ask Google Play to show its rating card. Any rating or review you leave goes to Google Play under Google's terms, and the app is not told whether you left one.

Purchases on Windows

On Windows, the one-time unlock is sold through the Microsoft Store. Microsoft processes the payment, and the app asks the Microsoft Store on your PC whether you own the unlock. We never receive your payment details; Microsoft gives us sales reports. The Microsoft Store restores the unlock on Windows PCs signed in to the same Microsoft account. Purchases made through Google Play, the Microsoft Store and the App Store are separate.

Purchases on iPhone and iPad

On iPhone and iPad, the one-time unlock is sold through the App Store. Apple processes the payment, and the app asks the App Store on your device whether you own the unlock. We never receive your payment details; Apple gives us sales reports. Restore purchases brings the unlock back on iPhones and iPads signed in to the same Apple Account. Purchases made through Google Play, the Microsoft Store and the App Store are separate.

Recordings

The app downloads name recordings from our storage service on Microsoft Azure in the UK. As with any download, the service receives your device's IP address and standard connection details. It may log them briefly for security and reliability, and we do not use them to identify you.

Device voice

When you play a name with your device's voice, the name is passed to the text-to-speech service on your device, which may use an online service under its own terms.

Exporting and deleting

Exporting creates a file and opens your device's share options; wherever you send it is outside the app's control. Delete your data in the app under Settings > Your data, or by clearing the app's data or uninstalling it. Your purchase stays with your Google Play, Microsoft or Apple Account.

Emailing us

If you email support, we use your email address and message to reply, and delete the correspondence once it is no longer needed. Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering you.

Children

Simply Named is a tool for choosing names. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect children's personal data.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, and you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
