Privacy Policy
Overview
SpinWheel (https://spinthewheel-5rv.pages.dev) provides free random decision tools, including picker wheels, coin flips, dice rollers, and team generators. We designed the service to work in your browser without creating an account. This Privacy Policy explains what information is processed when you use our site and how it is handled.
Information we collect
We do not ask you to sign up, and we do not operate a user account system. In most cases, the content you enter into our tools (such as wheel entries, names, or lists) stays on your device unless you choose to share it.
- Tool data you enter: Options, names, numbers, and similar inputs are processed locally in your browser to run spins, flips, rolls, and team splits.
- Share links: When you share a result, tool state may be encoded in the page URL (for example, in the hash portion of the address). Anyone with that link can view the shared state.
- Browser storage: Some tools may store small amounts of session data in your browser (for example, coin flip statistics) so your experience persists during a visit. This data is not sent to our servers.
- Server and hosting logs: Our hosting provider may automatically record standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps when you load the site. We use this only for security, performance, and operations.
How we use information
We use information only to:
- Deliver and improve the tools you request in your browser
- Generate shareable links when you choose to share a result
- Keep the site secure, reliable, and fast
- Understand aggregate usage trends so we can improve the product
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your wheel entries, names, or other tool inputs for advertising profiles.
Cookies and local storage
SpinWheel does not require cookies to function. We may use browser storage technologies
such as sessionStorage for short-lived features inside a browsing session.
If we add analytics or advertising in the future, we will update this policy and, where
required, ask for consent before using non-essential cookies.
Third-party services
We may rely on third parties to operate the site, including:
- Hosting and CDN: To deliver pages quickly and securely (for example, Cloudflare).
- Fonts: We load fonts from Google Fonts. Google may receive technical data such as your IP address when fonts are requested.
- Future analytics or ads: If enabled later, those providers may collect usage data under their own policies. We will describe any active providers here when they are turned on.
Children's privacy
Our tools are often used in classrooms and family settings. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through account registration because we do not offer accounts. Teachers and parents should avoid placing sensitive personal data into share links or entries they do not want others to see.
Data retention
Data stored in your browser remains until you clear site data or close the session, depending on the storage type used. Shared URL state persists for as long as the link exists and is opened. Server logs are retained only as long as needed for security and operations, according to our hosting provider's practices.
Your choices
- Do not share links if you do not want others to see encoded tool state.
- Clear your browser storage or use a private browsing window to reset local data.
- Stop using the site if you do not agree with this policy.
International visitors
SpinWheel is available globally. If you access the site from outside your home country, your information may be processed in locations where our hosting and service providers operate.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes become effective means you accept the updated policy.
