What stays in your browser
Your band brief, generated names, favorites, recent drafts, theme choice and availability results are stored in your browser's local storage. They are not sent to us as a profile and we do not require an account. Clearing site data removes them.
What leaves your browser
Two actions send data to our server: clicking a live availability check sends the generated name, and creating a voting link sends the names you saved (name, backstory, genre and mood). The availability service also queries public RDAP, YouTube and SoundCloud endpoints. Those third parties receive the candidate name as part of the request.
Voting links
A voting shortlist is stored on our server so bandmates can open the same link. It contains the names and ratings you and your bandmates submit, plus an anonymous voter identifier generated on each device. Anyone with the link can view the shortlist and vote. Do not put private information in a band name or backstory.
Cookies and analytics
We do not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address as part of the font request. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs for security and reliability.
