This privacy policy explains what FFNick, a fan-made nickname tool for Garena Free Fire and Free Fire MAX players, stores and sends when you use it: no account and no cookies, but the names you type reach our server. Last updated , when player name submissions were added.
This page describes what FFNick.com actually does with data — not a template. Everything below was checked against the running site on 11 September 2026. Where something leaves your device, we say so plainly, including the parts we are not happy about.
FFNick has no sign-up and no login. You are never asked for a name, address or phone number to use the generator.
- We set no cookies. Loading a page on this site returns no
Set-Cookieheader at all. - There is no analytics script and no advertising. No Google Analytics, no Tag Manager, no AdSense, no third-party pixel. Every script the site loads comes from ffnick.com itself.
An earlier version of this page mentioned analytics and advertising partners. That was boilerplate text describing services this site does not use, and it has been removed.
The name you type does leave your device
This is the part most name generators are vague about, so here it is in detail.
While you type, the styled previews are built in your browser. When you stop typing, the name is sent to our server so we can look up matching symbols and community nicknames for it. Our server then passes that name on to the service providers that hold the nickname and symbol libraries. Your IP address is included in that request, because the provider’s interface requires it.
Those provider requests are not encrypted. They travel over plain HTTP because the providers do not currently offer an HTTPS endpoint. That means the name you typed and your IP address are, in principle, visible to anyone able to observe traffic between our server and theirs. We would rather tell you this than let you assume otherwise. We have asked for HTTPS support; until it exists, treat the generator as a public tool and do not type anything into it you would not say in public — not your email address, not your phone number, not a password.
What we store on our own server
We keep counters and a review queue, not profiles. Four tables, and this is every column in them:
| What | Columns stored | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Names created | name, its url-safe form, the date, a count | The “Trending Now” list |
| Nicknames copied | nickname id, the nickname text, the date, counts of copies / likes / dislikes | The “Suggested” and top lists |
| Player-submitted names | the name text, its category, the date sent, the review status and the date reviewed | The review queue and the “Player-submitted” lists on category pages |
| Weekly demand | name, the ISO week, a session count and a hit count | Deciding which names deserve a written guide |
None of these tables has an IP column, and none stores anything that identifies you. Counter rows older than 35 days are deleted automatically by a daily job; submitted names are kept while they are listed, and rejected ones can be deleted on request.
To stop spam, the submit box keeps a temporary counter keyed by a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address that allows five names an hour. It deletes itself after one hour and is never written to the tables above.
Once a day the name counts — names and numbers only, no addresses and no identifiers — are sent over an encrypted connection to our own editorial server, which is what tells us which names people actually want guides for. That transfer is between two systems we operate; it is not a sale and not a transfer to an advertiser.
What stays in your browser
Four lists are kept in your browser’s localStorage and are never transmitted to us: your recently searched terms, the nicknames you copied, names you typed into the homepage submit box, and the ids of names you voted on (so a vote button stays greyed out). Clearing your browser’s site data removes all four immediately. You do not need to ask us.
Names you submit or copy
Copying a nickname registers that nickname with the shared library and increments its copy count — that is how the popularity lists stay real rather than hand-picked. A name sent through a “Submit your FF name” box on a category page is stored in our review queue and becomes public only after a person approves it; approved names are then added to the shared nickname library without your IP address. In both cases the text you submitted becomes public; your identity does not, because we never had it.
Want a submitted name removed? Email us with the exact text. We do not ask why, and there is no form to fill in.
Server logs and security
Our web server keeps standard access logs — IP address, time, page requested, browser string — as every web server does. They exist to keep the site up and to block attacks, they are not used to build a profile of you, and they are not shared with anyone. The site also runs a security plugin that records blocked login attempts for the same reason.
If you email us
We receive your address and whatever you wrote, and keep it as long as needed to deal with the matter. Nothing more is done with it — no list, no newsletter, no forwarding.
Children
This is a general-audience tool, not aimed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Since there are no accounts and we ask for nothing, there is very little to collect from anyone. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, email us and it will be deleted.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under the GDPR, the Indian DPDP Act or similar laws to see, correct or erase personal data an operator holds about you. In our case the honest answer is that we hold almost nothing: no account, no cookie, no profile — only counters with no identifier attached, plus server logs. If you want a submitted name removed, or an email exchange deleted, write to us and we will do it.
Contact and changes
Questions about this policy go to the same inbox as everything else — see the contact page. If this policy changes we will update the date below; material changes will be described rather than slipped in.
