1. Information We Do Not Collect (Search Queries)

Social Username Checker is built on a privacy-first foundation. We do not collect, log, or store the specific usernames, handles, or gamertags you search for using our tools.

All search queries are processed dynamically in real-time via public APIs and are immediately discarded from our server memory once your results are displayed. We do not maintain databases of user searches, nor do we sell search intent data to domain squatters or third-party brokers.

2. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Age Requirement: You must be at least 13 years of age (or 16 years of age for residents of the European Economic Area) to use our website and tools.

While our website offers tools related to gaming platforms (such as Minecraft and Roblox), our services are intended for general audiences, specifically content creators, digital marketers, and adult gamers. We do not knowingly solicit, target, or collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has provided us with personal data (such as via a contact form), please contact us immediately so we can locate and permanently delete that information from our servers.

3. Log Data and Security

To ensure the security and stability of our free tools, our servers automatically record standard Log Data when you visit the site. This data may include your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, and the timestamps of your requests.

This information is strictly used for security purposes—such as rate-limiting to prevent API abuse, mitigating DDoS attacks, and ensuring fair usage of our platform. It is not used to identify individual users or track personal browsing habits.

4. Cookies and Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use local browser storage (cookies) primarily to save your user preferences, such as your choice of Light or Dark Mode.

We also use Google AdSense to display advertisements, which helps keep our tools 100% free. To comply with Google AdSense program policies, please note:

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites across the Internet.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve targeted ads based on your browsing history.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

5. External Links

Our service may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us (such as social media platforms or sponsor links). If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy and terms of service of every site you visit, as we assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites.
