What is taken.gg?

taken.gg is a free username availability checker that lets you instantly search whether a specific username is available across multiple platforms including TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Roblox, and Discord.

What Data We Collect

• Username queries — the usernames you type into the search field.
• Selected platforms — which platforms you choose to check.
• Basic server logs — IP address and user agent, collected automatically for security and rate-limiting purposes.
• Optional contact info — if you sign up for future "Watch" alerts (coming soon), we may collect your email address or webhook URL.

What We Do NOT Collect

• We never ask for or store passwords to any third-party platform.
• We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

How We Use Your Data

• Provide results — to query platforms and return availability status.
• Prevent abuse — rate limiting and bot protection to keep the service fair for everyone.
• Improve reliability — aggregated, anonymized analytics to monitor uptime and performance.

Cookies & Local Storage

We use only essential cookies and local storage to remember your preferences such as platform selection and theme. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using taken.gg, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you may not use the service.

Service Description

taken.gg is a username availability checking tool. It queries public platform APIs and pages to determine whether a given username appears to be registered. Results are informational only and do not guarantee actual availability or ownership status on any platform.

Accuracy Disclaimer

• Results may be inaccurate due to platform API changes, rate limits, regional blocks, or cached data.
• A status of "Unknown" means we were unable to verify availability at the time of the check.
• A status of "Available" does not guarantee you will be able to register the username, as platforms may have additional restrictions.

User Responsibilities

• Use the service in good faith and for lawful purposes only.
• Do not abuse, scrape, or overload the service with automated requests.
• Do not use taken.gg to facilitate harassment, impersonation, cybersquatting, or any illegal activity.

Prohibited Use

• Automated high-volume requests without explicit written permission from taken.gg.
• Attempts to bypass security measures, rate limits, or access controls.
• Reverse-engineering, decompiling, or otherwise attempting to extract the source code of the service.
• Using the service in any manner that could damage, disable, or impair its operation.

The taken.gg name, logo, branding, and all associated visual assets are the intellectual property of taken.gg. You may not use our branding without prior written consent. Platform icons and names belong to their respective owners.

Service Availability

taken.gg is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the service at any time without notice.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, taken.gg and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of the service, including but not limited to losses caused by inaccurate results, missed username registrations, or service downtime.

Termination

We reserve the right to block or restrict access for users who violate these terms or engage in abusive behavior, without prior notice or liability.
