Privacy Policy.
A clear explanation of how Namelie: Baby Name Finder handles personal data across the app, website and related services.
The short version
Namelie helps you explore names and, if you choose, connect with a partner to discover names you both like. We process the information needed to create and secure your account, remember your preferences, calculate shared matches and provide purchased features.
You can sign in by email, Apple or Google. Apple and Google process information under their own privacy terms. App Store and Google Play handle payments; we receive purchase and entitlement information rather than your full payment-card details.
Your chosen partner may see information made available through the connection feature, such as your profile name, connection status and shared matches. Connect only with someone you trust.
We may use service providers for cloud hosting, authentication, communications, support, analytics, crash reporting and advertising. Optional marketing, non-essential tracking and personalised advertising are used only where permitted and, when required, after your choice.
You can request access, correction, deletion or other privacy rights by using available in-app controls or emailing sales@nordios.com. Deleting the App does not delete your account and does not cancel an Apple or Google Play subscription.
This overview is designed to help. The full policy below explains our practices, legal bases and your rights in detail.
Who we are
NORDIOS ApS is the controller responsible for personal data processed through Namelie: Baby Name Finder, including the mobile application, website, online database and related services (together, the “Service”).

Scope of this policy
This policy applies when you use the Namelie app or website, create or manage an account, connect with another user, contact us, receive communications from us or otherwise interact with the Service.
Apple, Google, advertisers and other third parties may process personal data for their own purposes under their own privacy policies. This policy describes NORDIOS’s processing and does not replace those third-party notices.
Personal data we collect
Depending on how you use the Service, we may process:
- Account and identity data, such as your email address, display or profile name, account identifier, authentication method and information needed to keep you signed in.
- Partner and matching data, such as invitations, connection status, the account you connect with, your name selections and shared matches generated from both users’ choices.
- Purchase data, such as product, plan, entitlement, purchase status, transaction or store reference and restoration status. Apple or Google processes your payment details; we do not receive your complete payment-card number.
- Communications data, such as support requests, feedback, messages you send us, marketing preferences and records of consent or opt-out.
- Device and technical data, such as IP address, device type, operating system, app version, language, time zone, device or app identifiers, push-notification token, log data, crash data and security events.
- Usage data, such as feature interactions, session times, screens viewed, referral information and aggregate performance information.
- Advertising and consent data, such as advertising identifiers, consent status and ad interactions where advertising or related measurement is enabled and permitted.
- Website data, such as browser information, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address and cookie or similar-technology data.
Please do not send us information that the Service does not request, particularly sensitive personal data.
How we obtain personal data
We receive personal data directly from you when you register, select names, connect with a partner, change settings, make a privacy choice or contact us. We also collect technical and usage information automatically when you use the Service.
We may receive information from Apple or Google when you use their sign-in services; from Apple’s App Store or Google Play in connection with purchases and entitlements; from the person who invites or connects with you; and from service providers that help us operate, secure, measure or support the Service.
If another user provides your email address or another identifier to invite you, we use it to deliver or manage that invitation and related security controls.
Why we use data and our legal bases
Where the General Data Protection Regulation applies, we rely on the legal bases below. A different lawful basis may apply where local law requires it.
| Purpose | Typical data | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Create and manage your account; authenticate you; provide preferences, matching and purchased features. | Account, identity, partner, matching and entitlement data. | Performance of our contract with you. |
| Operate, maintain, troubleshoot and secure the Service; prevent misuse and fraud. | Account, device, log, security, crash and limited usage data. | Performance of our contract and our legitimate interests in a reliable and secure service. |
| Respond to support requests and send necessary account, security, transaction or service notices. | Account, communications, purchase and technical data. | Performance of our contract, legal obligations and legitimate interests in supporting users. |
| Improve features and understand performance through proportionate analytics. | Usage, device, crash and aggregate data. | Our legitimate interests, or consent where required. |
| Send optional marketing; use non-essential cookies or similar technologies; provide personalised advertising or tracking. | Contact, device, advertising, consent and usage data. | Your consent where required. You may withdraw it at any time. |
| Comply with law, accounting obligations, valid authority requests and legal claims. | Relevant account, purchase, communications and log data. | Legal obligations and legitimate interests in establishing, exercising or defending legal claims. |
Connecting and matching with a partner
If you connect with another user, the Service compares both users’ selections to identify shared matches. Information made available through this feature may include your profile name, connection status and names that both connected users select.
We disclose this information to the person you choose to connect with so that we can provide the partner feature you request. Connect only with the intended person and review information shown in the App before sending or accepting an invitation.
You can disconnect using the available account controls. Disconnecting may change access to shared matches and other connected information. Each user may still retain information in their own account or records where permitted by law.
Sign-in, app stores and purchases
If you choose Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google, the provider authenticates you and sends us information according to your settings and its terms, such as a provider-specific identifier, email address and profile name. Apple may provide a private relay email address if you choose that option.
Apple and Google independently process information needed to distribute the App, process payments, manage subscriptions and purchases, prevent fraud and provide store services. We receive limited transaction, entitlement and subscription information needed to unlock, restore and support paid access.
You manage or cancel a subscription through the store where you bought it. Deleting your Namelie account or the App does not itself cancel a subscription.
Website, cookies and similar technologies
Our website and Service may use cookies, local storage, software development kits and similar technologies to keep the Service working, remember settings, secure sessions, measure performance and, where enabled, support analytics or advertising.
Strictly necessary technologies are used to provide requested functionality and security. Where required, optional analytics, advertising or personalisation technologies are used only after you make a choice through the available consent controls. You can change browser settings and any available privacy choices, but blocking necessary technologies may affect functionality.
Third-party content or links may allow the relevant provider to collect information under its own privacy policy when you choose to interact with it.
Analytics, crash reporting and advertising
We may use analytics and crash-reporting services to understand whether features work, diagnose errors, improve performance and protect the Service. We seek to limit these services to information reasonably needed for those purposes and use consent where applicable law requires it.
The Service may display contextual or personalised advertising. Contextual ads may be based on information such as the content or general location in which an ad appears. Personalised advertising or tracking may use identifiers and activity across apps or services only where permitted and, when required, after your separate choice.
You can use the App’s available privacy controls, device settings and platform choices to limit personalised advertising or tracking. We do not sell personal data for money. If local law treats certain advertising disclosures as a “sale” or “sharing,” you may exercise the applicable opt-out right through available controls or by contacting us.
Emails, messages and push notifications
We may send messages needed to provide and protect the Service, including verification, authentication, partner invitations you request, purchase support, security, account changes and important legal or service notices.
We send newsletters, offers or other marketing only where permitted. You can unsubscribe using the link in the message or available account controls. Opting out of marketing does not stop necessary account, security, transaction or service communications.
If you allow push notifications, we use a device token and notification settings to deliver the types you enable. You can change notification permissions in the App or device settings.
When we share personal data
We may disclose personal data to:
- Your connected partner, as described in the partner-matching section.
- Service providers supporting cloud hosting, authentication, email, push notifications, customer support, analytics, crash reporting, security and advertising. They may process data only for agreed purposes and subject to appropriate protections.
- Apple and Google for sign-in, app distribution, purchases, subscriptions, restoration, fraud prevention and platform compliance, including where they act as independent controllers.
- Professional advisers and authorities where reasonably necessary for legal advice, audits, compliance, valid legal process or protection of rights, safety and security.
- A buyer or successor in connection with a proposed or completed merger, financing, reorganisation or sale, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal safeguards.
We require processors acting on our instructions to protect personal data and use it only for the contracted service. Independent controllers are responsible for their own processing.
International data transfers
NORDIOS is established in Denmark. Some providers may process personal data outside Denmark or the European Economic Area. When EU or EEA personal data is transferred to a country not recognised as providing adequate protection, we use an approved transfer mechanism where required, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, together with supplementary safeguards when appropriate.
You may contact us for more information about the relevant safeguards and how to obtain a copy, subject to necessary redactions.
Retention and deletion
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. The period depends on the type of information, whether your account remains active, the feature involved, security and backup cycles, and legal, tax, accounting or dispute requirements.
- Account, profile, preference, connection and matching data is generally kept while your account is active and removed or anonymised after a valid deletion request, subject to limited legal and technical exceptions.
- Purchase and transaction records may be retained for the period required for entitlements, accounting, tax, fraud prevention and legal claims.
- Support correspondence and security logs are kept only as long as needed to resolve the matter, protect the Service and meet legal requirements.
- Consent and opt-out records may be retained as evidence that we respected your choices.
- Data in backups is isolated from ordinary use and removed as backups are securely overwritten under our retention cycle.
You can request account deletion through the controls provided in the App or by contacting us. We may retain or restrict limited information where necessary to comply with law, protect security, prevent fraud, resolve disputes or exercise legal rights. We may ask for information needed to verify your identity before acting.
Deleting the App from your device does not delete your account. Account deletion does not cancel an Apple or Google Play subscription; cancel it separately through the relevant store.
Your privacy rights and choices
Depending on your location and subject to legal conditions and exceptions, you may have the right to:
- receive information about our processing and request access to your personal data;
- correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
- request deletion or restriction of processing;
- receive certain data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller;
- object to processing based on legitimate interests or to direct marketing;
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing already carried out lawfully before withdrawal;
- opt out of targeted advertising, sale or sharing where applicable local law provides that right;
- complain to a data protection authority; and
- appeal a refusal of a privacy request where applicable law provides that right.
Use the available in-app or device controls where relevant, or email sales@nordios.com. We normally respond within the period required by applicable law. We may verify your identity, and an authorised agent may need to provide proof of authority. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.
Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data, including access controls, secure authentication, minimisation, monitoring, protected communications and provider oversight as appropriate to the risk.
No internet transmission, storage or authentication system can be guaranteed completely secure. Protect your credentials, keep your device updated and contact us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.
Children
The Service is intended for adults aged 18 or over and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children through the Service. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
Automated processing
Namelie automatically compares connected users’ name selections to identify shared matches and may automatically organise or recommend name content. This supports the features you request and does not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.
We do not use solely automated decision-making with legal or similarly significant effects unless we provide a separate notice and the safeguards required by law.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the Service, our processing or legal requirements change. The current version and effective date appear at the top. If a change materially affects your privacy, we will provide appropriate notice through the Service or another suitable channel and request consent where required.
Contact and complaints
Questions and privacy requests are welcome. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
