Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to the Wheel Spinner Privacy Policy. This document explains how we collect, use, and protect any information when you use our online wheel spinner tool. We are committed to ensuring your privacy is protected and being transparent about our data practices.

The Wheel Spinner ("we", "us", "our") is designed to be a privacy-friendly tool that minimizes data collection. We've built this service with your privacy in mind.

Information We Collect

Our approach to data collection is minimal:

When Using the Wheel Spinner

• Wheel Content: Any names, options, or text you add to the wheel is stored locally on your device using browser localStorage. This information never reaches our servers unless you explicitly use the share feature.
• Device Information: Basic information such as browser type, device type, and operating system may be collected automatically to ensure proper functionality across different devices.

When Sharing a Wheel

• Wheel Data: If you choose to create a shareable link, only the wheel configuration data (names/options and color settings) are temporarily stored on our servers. No personally identifiable information is attached to this data.
• Shared Wheel IDs: A unique identifier is generated for your shared wheel, which is used to retrieve the wheel configuration when someone accesses the shared link.

How We Use Your Information

The limited information we collect is used only for:

• Providing and maintaining the Wheel Spinner service
• Enabling the wheel sharing functionality when explicitly requested
• Improving and optimizing the Wheel Spinner tool
• Monitoring usage patterns to identify and fix technical issues

We do not use your data for:

• Marketing or advertising purposes
• Profiling or tracking users across websites
• Selling or renting to third parties

Cookies and Local Storage

Our service uses:

• Local Storage: Used to save your wheel configurations locally on your device so they persist between visits. This data never leaves your device unless you use the share feature.
• Essential Cookies: Minimal cookies may be used for core functionality such as maintaining your session state when using the application.

We do not use cookies for tracking, advertising, or analytics purposes.

Data Retention

We retain data as follows:

• Local Storage Data: Remains on your device until you clear your browser's local storage or use our "Clear All" function.
• Shared Wheel Data: Stored on our servers for a maximum of 30 days after the last access, after which it is automatically deleted.

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data:

• All data transfers between your browser and our servers use secure HTTPS connections.
• Shared wheel data is stored securely with unique identifiers that cannot be easily guessed.
• We regularly review our systems and practices to enhance security.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Services

Our website may use limited third-party services for:

• Hosting and infrastructure (server providers)
• Basic, anonymized usage statistics to improve our service

Any third-party service we use is evaluated for privacy practices, and we limit data sharing to what is strictly necessary for service operation.

Children's Privacy

The Wheel Spinner is designed to be suitable for users of all ages, including children. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. Since our service collects minimal data in general, the risk of collecting children's personal data is very low.

Our tool can be used in educational contexts without privacy concerns. Teachers and parents should be aware that if a child uses the share feature, the names they've entered will be stored temporarily on our servers as described in this policy.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your data:

• The right to access any data we hold about you (which is minimal)
• The right to request deletion of shared wheel data associated with a link you created
• The right to restrict or object to processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the Wheel Spinner after policy changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
