Terms of Use

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using NameAlmanac, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use this service.

Service Description

NameAlmanac provides baby name data, trends, and rankings for educational and informational purposes only. All data is sourced from the Social Security Administration's public records.

Educational Purpose Only

The information provided on NameAlmanac is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not professional, legal, medical, or expert advice of any kind.

Name data reflects historical birth records and does not constitute a recommendation, endorsement, or suggestion for naming a child. Personal naming decisions should be made based on your own preferences, cultural considerations, and family circumstances.

Data Accuracy

While we strive for accuracy, we make no warranties or guarantees about the completeness, reliability, or accuracy of the data presented. The SSA dataset itself has limitations (such as the privacy threshold of 5 occurrences per year).

No Warranties

NameAlmanac is provided "as-is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

Limitation of Liability

NameAlmanac is a free service. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any damages of any kind arising from your use of this service, including but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages.

Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of NameAlmanac is capped at $0 (zero dollars).

User Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Use automated tools to scrape or download large amounts of data
  • Attempt to interfere with or disrupt the service
  • Use the service for any unlawful or prohibited purpose
  • Misrepresent data sourced from NameAlmanac

Intellectual Property

The SSA data is in the public domain. Our presentation, design, code, and compilation of data are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

You may link to NameAlmanac and share pages freely. You may not copy, reproduce, or redistribute our design, code, or compiled datasets without permission.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend access to NameAlmanac at any time, for any reason, without notice.

Governing Law

These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where the service is operated, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Data Accuracy and Verification

NameAlmanac aggregates and reformats information that originates from public government agencies, regulatory filings, and other openly available sources. While we take reasonable steps to ingest, normalize, and refresh this data, upstream records may contain clerical errors, lag behind real-world changes, or omit relevant context. You are solely responsible for verifying any fact that influences a legal, medical, financial, educational, safety, or similarly consequential decision. Cross-reference the official source before acting on anything you read here.

Acceptable Use

You may browse, read, and share NameAlmanac content for personal, journalistic, academic, and non-commercial research use. You may cite specific records with attribution and a link back to the page on namealmanac.com. You may not (a) systematically scrape, crawl, or download the dataset in bulk without prior written permission; (b) resell, sublicense, or redistribute derived data products that compete with NameAlmanac; (c) use our pages to harass, defame, or misrepresent any individual or organization appearing in the data; (d) remove, obscure, or mislabel source attribution; or (e) attempt to bypass rate limits, security controls, or authentication mechanisms.

Plain-Language Editorial Role

NameAlmanac combines raw public data with plain-language summaries, explainers, and comparisons. Narrative sections are drafted by our editorial team from official source data and reviewed for accuracy before publication. We do not modify the underlying numbers or filings — those are loaded directly from the upstream source. If you spot a summary that misreads the data, please email the correction link on our contact page.

Editorial and Site Copyright

The underlying public records surfaced on NameAlmanac are in the public domain or otherwise freely licensed by the issuing agency — you are free to use those raw facts. However, our site design, layout, navigation structure, original editorial copy, category taxonomies, comparison tables, and curated rankings are the copyrighted work of Kiznis Studio. These creative elements may not be reproduced in whole or substantial part without permission.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time to reflect changes in our data sources, product features, legal environment, or advertising relationships. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and — when appropriate — surface a brief notice on the homepage. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically.

Governing Law and Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the jurisdiction in which Kiznis Studio is domiciled, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from or relating to your use of NameAlmanac will first be addressed through good-faith informal negotiation. If that fails, both parties agree to resolve the dispute in the courts with jurisdiction over Kiznis Studio's principal place of business. Nothing in these terms limits your statutory consumer-protection rights under applicable local law.

Legal Notices

For formal legal notices, DMCA takedown requests, subpoenas, law-enforcement requests, or correspondence regarding these terms, email legal@namealmanac.com. General questions, data corrections, and feedback should use the contact page so they reach the editorial team promptly.
