• Search Queries: When you use our search bar to check username availability, your search queries are processed in real-time. We **do not store these search queries** on our servers.
• Non-Personal Usage Data: Like most websites, we may collect aggregated, non-personal usage data for analytical purposes. This data helps us understand how our website is used and allows us to improve our service. This may include:
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referral source
  • Pages visited
  • Time spent on pages
  • General geographic location (country level, not precise location)
  This information is **anonymized** and cannot be used to identify individual users.
