Bothnames

Bothnames collects nothing at all

Effective 14 September 2026

The short version

Bothnames collects nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising, and no network connection. Nothing you type or tap is sent anywhere, because the app has nowhere to send it.

What stays on your phone

Your chosen countries, your boy/girl preference and your shortlist are stored only in the app's own storage on your device. They are never transmitted, and uninstalling the app deletes them.

Birth details are not stored at all

The date, time and time zone of birth you enter for the birth-star feature are held in memory only, for as long as that screen is open. They are never written to storage and are gone when the app closes — you will be asked for them again next time, by design. It is the most personal thing the app could hold, so it does not hold it.

The names database

Every name and meaning is bundled inside the app when you install it. Browsing, searching and matching never contact a server.

Children

Bothnames is intended for expectant parents, not for children. It collects no personal information from anyone, of any age.

Payment

Bothnames is bought once through the store you installed it from — Google Play or the Apple App Store. Your payment is handled entirely by that store; the app never sees your payment details, and the developer never receives them.

Changes and contact

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will ship with the app and appear on this page. Questions and corrections go to bothnames.help@gmail.com, or through the contact form inside the app under Settings.

You do not have to take our word for it. An Android app can only reach the network if it declares the INTERNET permission. Bothnames does not declare it. You can verify this yourself on the installed app — for example with aapt2 dump permissions, or by opening the app's page in any APK inspector.
