Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 22 October 2026 · Effective for loveandlemons.co.uk (The Zest & Harmony Naming Studio by Love & Lemons UK).

1. Overview & Client-Side Processing Commitment

This Privacy Policy explains how The Zest & Harmony Naming Studio by Love & Lemons UK (operating at https://loveandlemons.co.uk) processes information when you use our computational phonetics and name-blending tools, save pinned shortlists, submit an inquiry through our contact form, or view pages supported by Google AdSense and aggregate analytics.

100% Client-Side Naming Engine: All names, root words, dominance weights, Web Speech API audio synthesis, and HTML5 Canvas PNG scorecards are processed directly inside your web browser. We never transmit or store the personal names or brand concepts you type into our studio consoles on our servers.

2. Information We Handle

Browser-Local Shortlists & Share Links

When you pin favourite blends into the comparison matrix, your shortlist is saved locally in your browser's localStorage under the key loveAndLemonsPinnedBlends. When you generate a Share Link, input roots are passed via a client-side URL fragment (#first=...&second=...) that is immediately scrubbed from the browser address bar before analytics or advertising scripts execute.

Contact Correspondence

When you message our studio via our Contact page or email hello@loveandlemons.co.uk, we receive your name, email address, subject category, and message solely so we can respond to your inquiry.

Standard Technical & Server Logs

Our UK/European hosting infrastructure processes standard HTTP request metadata (IP address, browser user-agent, viewport category, referring page, and rate-limiting security logs) to deliver pages securely and protect server endpoints against automated abuse.

3. Google AdSense & Advertising Cookies Disclosure

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on loveandlemons.co.uk, which helps keep our computational linguistics tools free for all visitors without requiring user accounts or subscriptions.

4. UK, EEA & Swiss Regional Consent (Google Consent Mode v2)

In compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), and EEA ePrivacy rules, our root layout initializes Google Consent Mode v2 with ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, and analytics_storage set to denied by default for visitors in the United Kingdom, European Economic Area, and Switzerland.

You can grant or withdraw consent at any time using our Cookie Banner or the Cookie Settings button in the site footer. Your choice is stored locally under loveAndLemonsConsent.

5. Aggregate Traffic Measurement (Google Analytics 4)

Where permitted by your regional consent preferences, we use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymization enabled to understand aggregate page performance and which studio silos visitors find most helpful. We never log or transmit the specific names or words you type into our studio inputs as analytics events. You may also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Your Rights Under UK GDPR & Data Retention

Under UK GDPR and EU GDPR, you have the right to request access to, rectification of, or erasure of any personal data we hold (such as contact form correspondence), as well as the right to withdraw cookie consent at any time. Browser-local pinned shortlists remain solely on your device until you clear them. Contact messages are retained only as long as required to resolve your inquiry.
