Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 5, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Spin the Wheel ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you visit our website and use our browser-based decision tools.
Information We Collect and How It Is Processed
Wheel Choices and Entries: The options, names, labels, weights, and spin history you create are processed locally within your browser. We do not require account registration, and your lists are not transmitted to or stored in a centralized database on our servers. When you use the sharing feature, the wheel title and choices are encoded directly into the web address hash (fragment identifier) rather than saved on a remote server.
Technical and Log Information: Like most web applications, our servers and network infrastructure may automatically record limited technical details sent by your browser, such as your IP address, browser type, device operating system, access timestamps, and referring pages. This data is used to ensure server stability, prevent malicious activity, and optimize site delivery.
Contact Form Communications: When you submit a message through our contact form, we receive the name, email address, subject, and message content you provide. This information is processed through our form service provider (Formspree) exclusively to respond to your support request or feedback.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Spin the Wheel uses cookies and comparable technologies for the following distinct purposes:
- Essential functionality: To retain user preferences (such as selected color themes or active language choice) across page views during your visit.
- Performance and analytics: We use Google Analytics and Vercel Insights to collect aggregated, anonymized information regarding page interaction, visitor traffic trends, and navigation performance. These analytics assist us in identifying technical errors and enhancing site usability.
- Advertising technologies: Cookies utilized by third-party advertising networks to deliver and measure advertisements, as described in detail below.
Advertising and Cookies
To help support the free operation and maintenance of Spin the Wheel, we display or may display third-party advertisements, including through Google AdSense and associated Google certified advertising partners.
Please note the following important disclosures regarding third-party advertising:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies or web beacons to serve advertisements based on a user's prior visits to this website or other sites on the Internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to our website and other websites across the web.
- These advertising cookies allow advertising partners to evaluate ad performance, prevent fraudulent clicks, and, where applicable, serve personalized ads tailored to users' interests.
Managing Your Advertising Preferences
Users have multiple controls available to manage or opt out of personalized advertising:
- You can manage or opt out of personalized advertising directly through Google's official controls by visiting Google Ads Settings (or Google My Ad Center).
- You can opt out of interest-based advertising by participating ad networks via the Digital Advertising Alliance consumer choice page at aboutads.info choices.
- Users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom can manage ad preferences via the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) portal at youronlinechoices.eu.
- You may also utilize the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out tool at networkadvertising.org.
For further details on how Google handles data collected through partner sites, please consult Google's documentation: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Third-Party Services
Our website integrates selected third-party services to deliver reliable features:
- Web Typography: Google Fonts provides standard font files.
- Site Analytics: Google Analytics and Vercel Insights measure aggregate usage without profiling individual users.
- Contact Management: Formspree securely routes submissions made through the contact form to our support inbox.

Each third-party service provider manages data according to its own published privacy policy.
Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information via our contact form, please reach out so we can promptly delete the information.
Data Security
We employ industry-standard technical measures to safeguard our web infrastructure. However, no transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot warrant absolute security.
Your Choices and Controls
You have complete control over your browser environment:
- You may configure your web browser to reject cookies, alert you when a cookie is placed, or delete existing cookies.
- You can clear local browser data at any time to reset tool entries or local state.
- You may choose not to use optional features such as the contact form or URL share generation.
