Privacy policy

At RandomWheelPicker.com, we value your privacy and the protection of your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it when you visit or use our service.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Your continued use of Our Website after we post amendments signifies your agreement to the updated terms.

1. Information we collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • Locally Stored Wheel Data: When you create and use a wheel without sharing, your entries (names, options, colors, settings) are saved only on your device using your browser's storage. This data is not transmitted to or stored on our servers.
  • Shared Wheel Data: If you use the "Share" feature, your wheel's data (entries, title, settings) is uploaded to our servers to generate a unique public link. Anyone with this link can access and spin your wheel. This data is the only wheel content we store.
  • Automatically Collected Information: We automatically collect non-personal information, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the date/time of your visit for analytics, security, and to serve content (like ads). This information is generally not personally identifiable.

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect primarily to provide, maintain, and improve our service.

  • Providing the Service: To load your locally saved wheels and to serve wheels shared via public links.
  • Enabling Sharing: Using our servers to host your wheel data when you create a shareable link.
  • Service Improvement: Analyzing non-personal data to monitor performance, fix errors, and enhance user experience.
  • Legal and Safety Compliance: To protect against fraudulent or illegal activity, and to enforce our content policies.

3. Data Retention and Content Policy

Local Data: Data stored locally on your device is controlled by you and persists until you clear your browser's cache or storage.

Shared Wheel Data: Shared wheels are stored on our servers. We reserve the right to permanently delete any shared wheel that has not been accessed by anyone for a continuous period of 365 days.

Public Access via Link: Anyone with the unique share link can access and spin the wheel. By sharing, you consent to making that wheel's data publicly accessible.

Content Restrictions: All shared wheels must be family-friendly and safe for work. We reserve the right to delete any wheel that violates this policy at our sole discretion and without notice.

4. Data security

We use commercially acceptable means, including SSL encryption, to protect the security of your information during transmission. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Cookies and Advertising

We use "cookies" (small text files) to recognize repeat users, save local settings, and track usage behavior. By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies.

RandomWheelPicker.com uses third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense or other networks) to serve ads. These third-parties may use cookies, web beacons, and log data to collect activity information in order to deliver relevant metrics and advertising.

By using our service, you provide consent to the collection and use of your non-personal and shared information as outlined above.

  • Right to Withdraw Consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your data at any time.
  • Access and Deletion: You have the right to access, rectify, or delete any shared wheel data we store. Since we do not store non-shared data, exercising these rights requires submitting a request to delete your specific shared wheel URL.

7. Do not sell my personal information

We do not sell your personal information. However, the Service Providers we partner with (for example, our advertising partners) may use technology that may be considered a "sale" of personal information under certain laws (like CCPA). You can usually opt out of this targeted advertising via your browser settings or third-party opt-out services.
