Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 13, 2026
Service: the WhatsMyName Apps website (whatsmynameapps.us) and its username search
Operator: Hadi Dev Lab
Contact: hello@whatsmynameapps.us

Summary

WhatsMyName Apps checks whether a username has a public profile page on about 3,150 websites. There is no account, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking cookies.

1. What is sent when you search

When you start a search, your browser sends the username you typed and the list of sites to check to our server, which runs on Cloudflare Workers. It is used only to run that check and send the results back to your browser.

2. Not stored or logged by us

We do not store, log or keep the usernames you search or their results. They are not linked to you, not used for advertising and not sold or shared, apart from the websites and domain registries described in section 3. Results exist only in your browser tab, and exports (JSON or CSV) are created in your browser.

3. The websites being checked

To check a username, our server requests the public profile address on each selected website, so those websites receive the username as part of the address. They see the request coming from Cloudflare's servers, not from your IP address. Each website's own privacy policy applies to what it receives. For Found results, our server also fetches the public profile page to show the name, avatar and bio. Avatars then load directly from the checked sites into your browser, so those sites can see your IP address. If you use the domain check, our server sends the name to the public RDAP registries for .com, .net, .org, .io, .us, .app and .dev to see whether it is registered.

4. Cloudflare

The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like any website host, Cloudflare processes your IP address and basic request details (such as browser type and time) to deliver the site, protect it from abuse and apply a per-IP rate limit to the search. Cloudflare handles this data under its own privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/. If we turn on Cloudflare Turnstile (a bot check), Cloudflare also processes signals from your browser to tell people from bots, and we set a cookie for 10 minutes that only records that the check was passed.

5. Stored on your device

The site keeps your theme, language and view choices, and your recent searches, in your browser's local storage. They never leave your device, and you can clear them at any time in your browser settings.

6. Your rights

Because we keep no search data, there is nothing for us to give you a copy of or delete. For any privacy question, email hello@whatsmynameapps.us; we answer within 30 days. If you are in the EEA or the UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.

7. Children

The service is intended for adults (18+) and is not directed at children.

8. The Android app

The WhatsMyName Apps Android app (coming soon) works differently: it checks usernames on your phone. It has its own privacy policy.

9. Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date.
