Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2, 2026

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how BestRandom ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use bestrandom.net, our random generator tools, directories, guides, contact form, and related pages.

BestRandom is designed around browser-based tools. Many generators run locally in your browser, and we try to collect only what is needed to operate, secure, improve, and respond to requests about the site.

2. Information We Collect

Technical and log data. When you visit the site, our hosting and infrastructure providers may process IP address, user agent, request URL, referral URL, timestamps, device information, and error logs.

Tool settings and local features. Seeds, options, favorites, history, theme preferences, or similar features may be stored in your browser through local storage, session storage, or URL parameters. This data is generally kept on your device unless you share a URL or clear browser storage.

Contact information. If you use our contact form or email us, we may receive your name, email address, topic, subject, message, and any details you choose to include.

Analytics and performance data. If enabled, analytics tools may collect page views, approximate location, device/browser category, traffic source, and interaction events to help us understand site performance and improve content.

Security signals. Security tools such as reCAPTCHA, rate limiting, firewall, or hosting protections may process interaction signals, IP information, and device data to detect abuse.

3. How We Use Information

  • Provide, operate, maintain, and improve BestRandom.
  • Generate pages, run tools, remember local preferences, and support shareable seeded URLs.
  • Monitor reliability, debug errors, prevent abuse, and protect the site.
  • Respond to messages, bug reports, feature requests, and legal or security inquiries.
  • Analyze aggregate usage trends and improve navigation, content, and performance.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms and Conditions.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies and similar technologies for necessary site operation, security, preferences, local features, and analytics where enabled. See our Cookie Policy for more detail.

Local storage may keep tool history, favorites, recent settings, or UI preferences on your device. You can clear this data through browser settings.

5. Legal Bases Where Applicable

Where laws such as the GDPR apply, we rely on legal bases including performance of a contract (providing requested tools), legitimate interests (security, debugging, improvement, and abuse prevention), consent (where required for non-essential cookies or analytics), and compliance with legal obligations.

6. How We Share Information

We may share information with service providers that help us host the site, deliver security protections, analyze performance, process contact messages, or maintain infrastructure. They are allowed to use information only as needed to provide services to us.

We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, public authorities, or to protect the rights, safety, security, or integrity of BestRandom, users, or others.

We do not sell personal information in the ordinary meaning of selling names, emails, or messages for money. We do not knowingly share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising unless we update this policy and provide any required choices.

7. International Transfers

Our providers may process information in countries other than where you live, including the United States and other regions where hosting, analytics, or security providers operate. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections or adequacy decisions.

8. Retention

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. Contact messages may be retained while we respond, track issues, or maintain business records. Security logs may be retained for a limited time to protect the site. Data stored locally remains on your device until you clear it.

9. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, or withdrawal of consent. You may also have the right to complain to a data protection authority.

California and other U.S. state privacy laws may provide rights to know, access, delete, correct, opt out of certain sharing or targeted advertising, and limit use of sensitive personal information. We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information through the standard site for the purpose of inferring characteristics.

To make a privacy request, use our Contact Us page. We may need to verify your request before acting on it.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. If you believe you found a vulnerability, please contact us and avoid public disclosure until we can investigate.

11. Children

BestRandom is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact us so we can take appropriate action.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and change the "Last updated" date. If a change is material, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.
