Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 15, 2026
Welcome to Wheel of Item (the "Site", accessible at https://wheelofitem.com/). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. We respect your privacy and aim to keep this document plain and short.
1. Information We Collect
Wheel of Item is designed to work without an account. We do not ask for your name, email, or password. The data we touch falls into three categories:
1.1 Data you enter into the wheel
The list of items, weights, and themes you configure are stored in your own browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device unless you choose to share a wheel via URL. Shared wheels encode the items into the URL itself — we do not save a copy on a server.
1.2 Anonymous usage analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics 4) to understand which features are used, browser and country breakdowns, and aggregate traffic patterns. These tools may set cookies. No personally identifiable information is associated with this data.
1.3 Advertising cookies (Google AdSense)
We may display advertisements served by Google AdSense after the site is approved for monetization. Google and its third-party vendors may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, and other identifiers to serve and measure ads based on your visits to this Site and other sites on the internet. These cookies enable Google and its partners to provide personalized or non-personalized advertising depending on your region and consent choices. You can learn how Google uses data on partner sites at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services, and you can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
2. How We Use Information
- To deliver the wheel feature on your device.
- To understand how the Site is used and improve features.
- To serve relevant advertisements via Google AdSense.
- To diagnose and fix technical issues.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
3. Cookies and Tracking
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies, including:
- Strictly necessary: localStorage for saving your wheel configuration locally.
- Analytics: cookies used to collect aggregate usage data.
- Advertising: cookies set by Google and its advertising partners.
You can clear cookies and localStorage at any time through your browser settings. Doing so will reset your saved wheels.
4. Third-Party Services
We rely on the following third parties whose privacy practices govern their handling of your data:
- Google AdSense — advertising
- Google Analytics — usage analytics
- Google Fonts — typography
- Cloudflare — content delivery and DDoS protection
- Firebase Hosting — static site hosting
5. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data, opt out of personalized advertising, or request a copy of the data we hold. Because we do not store account-level personal data on our servers, most requests are handled at the cookie and browser level. To exercise any right, contact us at the email below.
6. Children's Privacy
This Site is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided data, please contact us and we will delete it.
7. Data Retention
Wheel data stays on your device until you clear it. Aggregated analytics are retained according to Google Analytics defaults (typically 14 months). Advertising data retention follows Google's policies.
8. Security
The Site is served over HTTPS. While we apply reasonable safeguards, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be noted prominently on the Site.
