Privacy policy

Overview

This policy explains what SpinWheelzy collects when you use the wheel tools and what happens to it. The short version: your wheel entries stay in your browser unless you create an account and save them, and we never sell personal data.

Data we collect

The tools work without an account, so most visits collect nothing beyond the standard server logs our hosting provider keeps for security and uptime. When you create an account or save a wheel we store:

• Your email address, display name and a hashed password, used only to sign you in and to send password reset email.
• Wheels you save: the name, entries, colours, weights and settings.
• Whether a wheel is public, its category, and the display name shown as its author in the gallery.

How we use data

Saved wheels load when you sign in from any device. Your email is used for password reset and essential account notices only; there is no marketing email. Public wheels show your display name to visitors, and unpublishing removes them from the gallery immediately.

Data kept in your browser

Without an account, the tool keeps your current wheel, its settings and recent results in this browser's local storage so a reload does not lose them. Your cookie choice is stored the same way. Clearing site data removes all of it.

Cookies, analytics and ads

Signing in sets a session cookie; nothing else is needed for the tools to work. SpinWheelzy may use Google Analytics 4 to count page views and Google AdSense to show ads. The Google Analytics tag is on every page in consent mode: until you choose, or if you decline, it sets no cookie and sends only anonymous, cookieless signals (such as that a page was viewed, without the list in a share link) that Google uses to estimate totals. If you switch from accept to decline, the Google Analytics cookies already set are deleted. Only after you choose “Accept” does Google use cookies to measure, and do AdSense ads load, personalised where allowed.

• Essential: the session cookie that keeps you signed in.
• Analytics and advertising cookies: used only after you accept. You can change your choice any time from the cookie settings link in the footer.
• You can block non-essential cookies in your browser without losing any tool feature.

Your rights

You can delete your account yourself from the dashboard; this removes your saved wheels, including public ones, immediately. If you are in the EEA, the UK or Vietnam you may also ask for access to, correction of, or a copy of your data by email, and we answer within 30 days.
