Privacy Policy

Name 100 Women (name100woman.com) operates an interactive historical trivia platform. This Privacy Policy specifies the categories of information we collect, our technical logging protocols, our advertising partnerships under Google AdSense, and your statutory data rights under GDPR and CCPA.

1. Data Collection & Storage Architecture

We minimize data collection through a client-side architecture. We separate operational data into two tiers:

A. Client-Side Gameplay Data

When you participate in the Name 100 Women Challenge, your gameplay inputs—including guessed names, unlock timestamps, timer status, and score totals—are processed and retained exclusively within your web browser using HTML5 localStorage and sessionStorage. We do not transmit, inspect, or store your individual gameplay guesses on our centralized servers.

B. Server Log Data

Like standard web infrastructure, our hosting servers generate automated technical log files when you access our domain. Log entries contain:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (anonymized at network ingestion)
  • Browser user-agent string and operating system version
  • Internet Service Provider (ISP) identification
  • Referring URL, requested URI path, and exit timestamps
  • HTTP response codes and data payload byte counts

Server logs serve security monitoring, DDoS mitigation, and server health diagnostics. Log records are decoupled from user identities and purged automatically after 30 days.

2. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Disclosures

We monetize our free educational service through programmatic advertisements managed by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, utilize tracking technologies to serve advertisements based on your visit history across the web.

Key Advertising Compliance Provisions:

  • DoubleClick DART Cookie: Google uses the DART cookie to serve targeted ads based on visits to name100women.com and external internet properties.
  • Third-Party Ad Networks: Certified ad exchanges may set cookies, execute JavaScript, or measure ad impression viewability within banner containers on this site.
  • No Direct Data Sharing: Name 100 Women does not sell, rent, or provide customer email lists to advertising networks.

4. European Union GDPR Compliance (EEA Residents)

Under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation), individuals located in the European Economic Area possess statutory rights regarding personal data:

  • Right of Access: Request confirmation of whether your personal information is processed.
  • Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete records.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California residents hold explicit rights concerning personal information:

  • Right to Know: Request disclosure of collected categories and specific data pieces across the preceding 12 months.
  • Right to Delete: Request permanent removal of collected consumer records.
  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: Name 100 Women does not sell personal data for monetary exchange. To opt out of cross-context behavioral ad sharing, use our cookie management tools.
  • Non-Discrimination: Exercising statutory privacy rights incurs no degradation of site functionality, game performance, or speedrun access.

6. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

Name 100 Women provides general-audience educational trivia and does not deliberately gather personal identification from children under 13 years of age. If a parent or guardian discovers that a minor has submitted personal contact details, contact [email protected] immediately to initiate prompt data deletion.

7. Data Security Measures

We enforce 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption across all domain requests. Administrative interfaces enforce hardware-backed multi-factor authentication, principle-of-least-privilege access, and automated intrusion monitoring.

8. Policy Amendments

We modify this Privacy Policy to reflect changing regulatory requirements or technical adjustments. Material updates are published directly to this URL with a refreshed revision date. Continued platform access constitutes acknowledgment of amended terms.
