Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Overview

Welcome to Phone Number Generator (“we,” “our,” or “us”), accessible at https://www.phonenumbergenerator.info. We provide online tools that generate formatted example phone numbers, temporary numbers, verification fixtures, barcodes, and QR codes for software testing, quality assurance, UI mockups, and demonstrations.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, what we do not collect, and how we handle user data when you visit our website. We are committed to transparency, user privacy, and responsible data minimization.

2. Client-Side Processing (Zero Data Logging)

Our core tools operate locally inside your web browser using client-side JavaScript. This means:

• No Number Logging: We do not log, store, or transmit the phone numbers you generate, validate, or convert.
• No Clipboard Access: When you click “Copy,” your browser copies text locally. We cannot read or monitor your clipboard contents.
• No Account Required: You do not need to register, create a username, provide passwords, or submit credit card details to use our utilities.

3. Information We May Collect

We only collect data in the following limited situations:

• Voluntary Contact Inquiries: If you reach out through our Contact Us form or email, we collect your name, email address, and message solely to answer your questions. We never sell or share contact details with third-party marketers.
• Standard Server Logs: Like most web servers, our hosting infrastructure automatically logs basic diagnostic information (such as browser type, operating system, referring URL, date/time stamp, and truncated IP address) to maintain website security, prevent DDoS attacks, and diagnose technical errors.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

We use modern browser storage technologies strictly for necessary site functions and user convenience:

• Cookie Consent Flag: We store a local storage key (cookie_consent_accepted) so the consent prompt does not display repeatedly once acknowledged.
• Language Preferences: Your selected locale is stored to serve pages in your preferred language.
• Detailed Policy: For a full breakdown of storage categories and browser management steps, please visit our dedicated Cookies Policy.

5. Third-Party Services and Advertising Disclosures

To maintain our free tools and monitor infrastructure health, we may work with third-party partners who adhere to privacy standards:

• Google AdSense & DoubleClick Cookies: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Opt-Out of Personalized Advertising: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or through aboutads.info.
• Performance Analytics: We may use privacy-centric, aggregate performance telemetry (such as Vercel Web Analytics) to track page load speed and uptime without building personal user profiles.

6. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR, CCPA & Global)

Depending on your location, you have rights under applicable privacy laws (such as GDPR in Europe and CCPA in California):

• The right to know what personal information (if any) is collected about you.
• The right to request deletion of contact messages you have submitted to us.
• The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data (we do not sell personal data).
• The right to clear browser cookies and local storage directly through your browser settings.

7. Data Security and Retention

All traffic between your browser and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS. Because generator outputs are processed locally, we do not store customer records or generated lists on backend databases. Contact form messages are retained only as long as necessary to address your inquiry.

8. Children's Privacy

Our developer tools are intended for software engineers, testers, designers, and adult professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age.
