Information We Collect
AddrGenie is designed to be a zero-friction, no-account tool. We do not require you to register or provide any personal information to use the address generator. However, like virtually every website, we do collect certain technical data automatically when you visit.
📊 Automatically Collected Data
When you access addrgenie.com, our servers and analytics tools may automatically record:
- Your IP address (anonymised where possible)
- Browser type, version, and language preferences
- Operating system and device type
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring URL (the page that linked you to us)
- Date and time of your visit
- Country or region (derived from IP address)
📝 Information You Voluntarily Provide
If you contact us via our Contact Us page or by email, you may provide your name and email address. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not added to any mailing list without your explicit consent.
🚫 What We Do NOT Collect
- No account registration data — there is no sign-up
- No payment or billing information — AddrGenie is free
- No addresses you generate — we do not log tool outputs
- No precise geolocation beyond country-level
How We Use Your Information
We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes:
⚙️ Operating & Improving the Website
Technical data helps us keep addrgenie.com running smoothly, identify and fix errors, and understand which features are most useful so we can improve them.
📈 Analytics & Performance
Aggregate, anonymised usage statistics help us understand visitor traffic patterns, popular pages, and overall site performance. We do not build individual user profiles.
🛡️ Security & Abuse Prevention
We monitor for unusual traffic patterns, bot activity, or potential misuse to protect the integrity of the service for all users.
💬 Responding to Inquiries
When you contact us, we use the information you provide solely to respond to your message. We do not share it with third parties for marketing purposes.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We do not use your data to serve targeted advertisements within our site.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
AddrGenie uses a minimal number of cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help us provide a functional and analysable website experience.
🍪 Essential Cookies
These are required for the website to function correctly (e.g., WordPress session cookies, security tokens). They do not track personal information and cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.
📉 Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar) to collect anonymised data about how visitors interact with the site. These cookies help us understand aggregate traffic but do not identify individual users. You can opt out via your browser settings or the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Managing Cookies: You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality, but the address generator itself will continue to work.
Third-Party Services
AddrGenie's address generator is powered by the Random User API (randomuser.me), a publicly available third-party API. When you click "Generate Address," a request is sent to this API to retrieve address data. Your IP address may be visible to this API as part of the network request. Please refer to the Random User API's own privacy policy for their data practices.
We may also integrate the following third-party services on our site:
🔍 Google Analytics (or equivalent)
Used for aggregate website analytics. Data is anonymised and used to improve site performance. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
🌐 WordPress & Elementor
Our website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder. These platforms may set functional cookies required to render the site correctly.
🛡️ Cloudflare / Hosting Provider
Our hosting infrastructure may process your IP address and request data for DDoS protection, caching, and content delivery purposes, subject to their own privacy policies.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external third-party services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before interacting with them.
Generated Address Data
All addresses generated by AddrGenie are entirely fictional and synthetic. They are algorithmically constructed to be realistic in format but do not correspond to any real person, household, or physical location.
We do not store, log, or record the addresses generated during your session. The output exists temporarily in your browser and is not transmitted to our servers.
Because our data is synthetic — not sourced from any real personal dataset — using AddrGenie for testing and development purposes is safe from a privacy and compliance perspective under frameworks such as GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA.
Data Retention
We retain automatically collected technical and analytics data for a period of up to 26 months, after which it is deleted or anonymised. Data collected through contact form submissions is retained only as long as necessary to resolve your inquiry and is then securely deleted.
You may request deletion of any data we hold about you at any time by contacting us (see Section 12).
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information collected through addrgenie.com. These measures include HTTPS encryption for all data in transit, access controls on server infrastructure, and regular security reviews.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
