Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 14, 2025

Welcome to Random Name Wheel. This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you use our website application.

1. Information We Collect

Random Name Wheel is designed to prioritize your privacy. Our application functions primarily using client-side processing, which means most of your data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. Specifically:

  • Local Storage Data: When you use Random Name Wheel, we store your wheel entries, settings, and winners history in your browser's localStorage. This data remains on your device.
  • Shared Wheel Data: If you use the "Share Wheel" feature, your wheel entries and settings are encoded in the URL. This data is shared only with those who receive the URL from you.
  • Usage Data: We collect anonymous usage data, such as page views, app feature usage, and error logs to help us improve the application.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and maintain the Random Name Wheel service
  • Enable wheel settings, entries, and winners to persist between sessions
  • Allow you to share wheel configurations with others
  • Analyze usage patterns to improve the application
  • Fix bugs and improve application performance

3. Data Storage and Security

Your data security is important to us:

  • Wheel entries, settings, and winners history are stored locally on your device using browser localStorage
  • This data does not expire until you manually clear it using the application or your browser settings
  • This data is not accessible to us or any third-party services
  • For shared wheel links, the data is encoded in the URL and transmitted directly to recipients without passing through our servers

4. Cookies and Tracking

Our application uses minimal cookies and tracking:

  • We use essential cookies to ensure the proper functioning of the application
  • We may use analytics cookies to understand usage patterns (these do not collect personally identifiable information)
  • You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect some functionality

5. Third-Party Services

We use a limited number of third-party services:

  • We may use analytics services to understand application usage and improve features
  • Content delivery networks (CDNs) to deliver static assets like JavaScript libraries and fonts
  • These services have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to review them

6. Data Retention

Your wheel data persists in your browser's localStorage until you:

  • Use the "Reset Everything" button in the application
  • Clear your browser's localStorage or site data
  • Use private/incognito browsing, which typically does not save localStorage data

7. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can delete such information.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
