This Privacy Policy describes how SpinWheel ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use our website at spinwheel.app (the "Service").
By using SpinWheel, you agree to the practices described in this policy. Please read it carefully.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide
SpinWheel is designed to require no account or personal information to use. The only time we may collect personal information is if you voluntarily submit our contact form, in which case we collect your name, email address, and message content solely to respond to your inquiry.
1.2 Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, we may collect certain technical data automatically when you visit, including:
- IP address (anonymized)
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referring website URL
- Pages visited and time spent
- Date and time of access
This data is collected via server logs and analytics tools (if configured) and is used only in aggregate to understand usage patterns and improve the Service.
1.3 Local Storage Data
SpinWheel saves your wheel options and theme preference in your browser's localStorage. This data stays entirely on your device — it is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser data.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate and maintain the SpinWheel service
- Respond to your contact form submissions
- Monitor and analyze usage to improve performance and features
- Detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
3. Cookies
SpinWheel uses only essential cookies necessary for the site to function. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies by default.
If Google AdSense or Google Analytics are enabled (see below), those services may set their own cookies. You can control cookies via your browser settings.
4. Third-Party Services
4.1 Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. If enabled, Google Analytics collects anonymized usage data. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4.2 Google AdSense
We may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
5. Data Retention
Contact form submissions are retained for no longer than 12 months. Server log data is retained for up to 30 days. localStorage data remains on your device until you clear it.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights under GDPR, CCPA, or other applicable laws:
- Right to access — request a copy of your personal data
- Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
- Right to erasure — request deletion of your personal data
- Right to object — object to processing of your personal data
- Right to data portability — receive your data in a portable format
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
7. Children's Privacy
SpinWheel is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
8. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. All user inputs on SpinWheel are sanitized using PHP's htmlspecialchars() to prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
9. Links to Other Sites
SpinWheel may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of SpinWheel after changes constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
11. Contact Us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us via our contact form.
Summary: SpinWheel stores your wheel options locally in your own browser. We don't require an account, we don't sell your data, and we don't track you beyond standard analytics. Your spinner data never leaves your device.
