Name Generator

Names are generated on request and never stored on the site. Names you type in, such as a name you want to keep, are used only to build that answer. Favorite names are saved in your own browser and never sent to the site. The names on your screen stay in that browser tab until you close it, so a reload shows them again.

Choices saved in your browser

A few choices stay in your own browser, so you don't have to make them again. They last until you change them or clear this site's data in your browser.

• Your Auction House: region, ruleset, faction, and whether the list includes Neutral. The site needs these to find the right prices, so they're also part of the page address and of the requests for those prices.
• The faction you last picked on an attunement's quest chain, which is never sent to the site.

IP addresses and hosting

The site runs on Cloudflare. Your IP address is used to limit how many requests one visitor can make per minute, and the counters reset after about a minute. Cloudflare processes requests as the site's host under its own privacy policy, and shows the site owner aggregate statistics such as visit counts; the site runs no analytics script of its own.

World of Warcraft character data

Where the site shows a World of Warcraft character you asked for by name, it asks Blizzard Entertainment's Battle.net API for that character's public profile: name, surname, ruleset, level, race, class, faction, guild, last login time, talents, equipped items, professions and known recipes, and completed quests. Item pictures are served by this site itself, so showing a character never sends your browser to Blizzard. Any character whose profile Blizzard makes public can be shown this way.

• The data comes from Blizzard and is shown as Blizzard returns it.
• The result is kept in a cache for up to 24 hours from when we fetched it (10 minutes when there is no public profile), then deleted. It includes when the character last logged in, used only to tell whether it changed, its completed quests, used only to leave those rewards out, and its known crafting recipes, used only to mark and order them. The full lists are never sent to your browser; shown recipes are marked as known, and known ones come first. Asked for again after 15 minutes, we ask Blizzard whether the character has been played since, and fetch it again if so; if Blizzard can't answer, you see the kept result. Nothing about a character is stored for longer, and nothing is linked to you. Game data that is the same for everyone, such as item levels and item prices, is kept for up to a few weeks and refreshed from Blizzard well within 30 days.
• The last 5 characters you asked for (name, surname, region, level and class) are saved in your own browser, so you can show them again in one click. They are never sent to the site, are deleted after 30 days, and you can remove any of them on the page that lists them.
• If you haven't chosen an Auction House yet, showing a character saves its region, ruleset and faction in your own browser as your choice.
• The region, character name and surname, and any profession you try in the menu are part of the page address, so they end up in your browser history and in any link you share. Nothing about professions is saved in your browser any more; older choices are removed the next time you open the Upgrade Finder.
• Character data is never sold, never used for advertising and never used to target ads.

Logging in with Battle.net

Some pages offer an optional Battle.net login, so you can pick from your own characters instead of typing their names. You don't need to log in to use the site.

• The site asks Battle.net for one permission, to read your World of Warcraft character list (the wow.profile scope). It never sees your Battle.net password or email address.
• Battle.net gives the site a token, which is used only during login to fetch the list and then discarded. It is never stored.
• The list of your characters (name, surname, ruleset, region, level, race, class, faction) is kept in an encrypted cookie in your browser for up to 30 days from the time you log in, so you stay logged in between visits. It is never extended: after 30 days you log in again. A successful login replaces the list with a fresh one and restarts the 30 days. It is not stored on the site's servers and never logged.
• While you log in, a second short-lived cookie (up to 10 minutes) protects the login from forgery and is deleted when you come back.
• Logging out deletes the cookie at once, so log out when you use a shared computer. Removing the site from your Battle.net connections doesn't delete the cookie; log out to do that. Both cookies are strictly necessary for the login and are never used for tracking or advertising.
• Picking a character fetches it as described in the section above.
• The login page itself is Battle.net's, covered by Blizzard's own privacy policy.
