GDPR Policy

Effective Date: June 2, 2025

At Name Bangla (https://namebangla.com/), we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users’ personal data. This GDPR Policy outlines how we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) for any personal data we might process from individuals within the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA).

As a blog website focused on baby names, our primary function is content delivery, and we aim to collect minimal personal data.

1. What is GDPR?

The GDPR is a comprehensive data protection law that came into effect on May 25, 2018. It aims to give individuals in the EU/EEA more control over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.

2. Our Approach to Data Processing & Lawful Basis

Name Bangla processes data based on the following lawful bases under GDPR:

  • Legitimate Interests: We process certain non-personal data (like website analytics) to understand how our website is used, improve our services, and ensure our content is relevant and engaging. This processing is balanced against your rights and freedoms, and we ensure it doesn’t cause undue impact on your privacy.
  • Consent: If, in the future, we introduce features like newsletter subscriptions or user accounts that require personal data (e.g., email address), we will seek your explicit, informed consent for specific processing activities. You will always have the right to withdraw this consent.

3. Types of Data We Process

Given the nature of Name Bangla as a content-focused website, the personal data we collect is generally limited:

  • Non-Personal Data (Usage Data): This includes information that does not directly identify you, such as your IP address (which may be considered personal data in some contexts under GDPR), browser type, operating system, referral URLs, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and other similar analytical data collected via website analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics). This data helps us understand site traffic and user behavior patterns to enhance the user experience.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies to improve your Browse experience (e.g., remembering your preferences) and for analytics purposes. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.
  • No Direct Sensitive Personal Data Collection: Name Bangla does not intentionally collect any “special categories” of personal data (e.g., race, ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, genetic data) from our users.

4. How We Use Your Data

The limited data we process is used for the following purposes:

  • To operate and maintain our website effectively.
  • To understand how our website is used, allowing us to improve content, features, and overall user experience.
  • To ensure the security of our website and protect against fraudulent or malicious activity.
  • To comply with legal obligations, if any.

5. Data Retention

We retain non-personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Typically, analytical data is retained for a period consistent with standard industry practices.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. While no internet transmission is entirely secure, we strive to protect your data using industry-standard practices.

7. Sharing Your Data

Name Bangla does not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties. We may share aggregated, anonymized demographic information not linked to any personal identification information with trusted partners (e.g., analytics providers like Google Analytics) for the purposes of improving our website and understanding user trends. These third parties are bound by their own privacy policies and GDPR compliance.

8. Your GDPR Rights (Data Subject Rights)

Under the GDPR, individuals in the EU/EEA have specific rights concerning their personal data. Name Bangla is committed to upholding these rights:

  • The Right to Be Informed: You have the right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data. This policy serves to fulfill that right.
  • The Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • The Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
  • The Right to Erasure (“Right to Be Forgotten”): In certain circumstances, you have the right to request the deletion or removal of your personal data.
  • The Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we limit the way we use your personal data in certain situations.
  • The Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller.
  • The Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, particularly where processing is based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
  • Rights in Relation to Automated Decision-Making and Profiling: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. (Note: Name Bangla does not engage in such automated decision-making).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided below. We will respond to your request within one month, as required by GDPR.

9. International Data Transfers

As Name Bangla is accessible globally and may use service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics) that operate outside the EU/EEA (e.g., in the United States), your non-personal data may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the EU/EEA. We ensure that any such transfers comply with GDPR by relying on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or by working with providers that are Privacy Shield certified (though Privacy Shield is no longer valid, adherence to its principles is still often a good sign) or have other approved mechanisms.

10. Children’s Privacy

Name Bangla is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 16 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as quickly as possible.

11. Changes to This GDPR Policy

Name Bangla may update this GDPR Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this page. We encourage Users to regularly check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are protecting their data.
