Privacy Policy

The names you put on the wheel stay in your browser and never reach our servers. The site is free because it shows ads, supplied by Google AdSense — those load only if you agree to them, and you can change your mind at any time. The one thing we can collect directly is an email address, and only if you choose to type it into the newsletter box.

Your entries stay on your device. Names, titles, weights, saved wheels, spin history and options are held in your browser's local storage. They are not uploaded, not stored in a database, and not visible to us. Clearing your browser's site data for this domain removes them permanently.

Shared links carry their own data. When you use Share, Embed or the QR code, your wheel title and entries are encoded into the URL itself. That link contains your data — treat it like any other link you would not post publicly by accident. We do not receive a copy when you create one.

We use Google AdSense, and nothing else. It is our only advertising partner. We do not embed social media pixels, data-broker scripts, or any other ad network.

No ads load until you say yes. On your first visit a banner asks for your choice. Until you choose, we signal denied for advertising and analytics storage using Google Consent Mode v2, and the AdSense script is never added to the page.

If you choose “Accept All”, AdSense is loaded and may set cookies or read device identifiers to measure and personalise the ads you see. Google acts as an independent controller for that data; what it collects and how it is used is covered by Google's policy for partner sites.

If you choose “Essential Only”, no advertising script is loaded at all. You will see empty ad space instead of ads. Nothing about you is sent to Google.

Functional storage — your wheel entries, saved wheels, language, theme and your cookie choice itself. These live in local storage on your device, are required for the site to work as expected, and are never transmitted.

Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense, and only after you accept them. Choosing “Essential Only” means none are set.

Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics 4, and only after you accept them. Before that it runs in Google’s cookieless consent mode: it records that a page was viewed, but sets no cookie and assigns you no identifier, so visits cannot be linked into a profile or followed between sessions. Choosing “Essential Only” keeps it in that state permanently.

Use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page. It clears your stored choice, immediately signals denied to Google Consent Mode, and brings the banner back so you can choose again. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.

One practical limit: if AdSense already loaded during the current page view, that script cannot be removed until you reload. Withdrawing takes effect for further ad requests right away, and completely from the next page load.

Your choice is stored locally under npw_cookie_consent; clearing this site's data in your browser settings has the same effect.

The newsletter form in the footer is the only place we collect personal data directly. If you submit it, we store your email address and the fact that it came from the site footer, using Supabase as our hosting provider. We use it to send occasional product updates and nothing else — we do not sell, rent, or share it.

Ask us to remove your address at any time via the contact form and we will delete it.

The wheel is widely used in classrooms. It asks students for nothing: no account, no sign-in, and no personal details beyond the first names a teacher chooses to type, which stay on the teacher's device.

We should be straightforward about the limits of that. This site is ad-supported, and we do not present it as certified under COPPA, FERPA, or any equivalent scheme — those are formal determinations we are not in a position to assert on your behalf. If your school or district requires a compliance review before approving a tool, use this page as the basis for it and get in touch with any question it does not answer. Schools that need a strictly ad-free environment should choose “Essential Only”, which loads no advertising code at all.

For the newsletter — the only personal data we hold — you may ask for a copy of it, correction of it, or its deletion, and we will action the request. Contact us and we aim to respond within 5 business days.

For wheel data there is nothing for us to action: we never receive it, so we cannot produce, correct, or delete it. Clearing your browser's site data does that instantly and completely.

For advertising, your consent choice is the control. Decline it and no ad code loads; accept it and you can revoke it at any time using the steps above.

We may update this policy as the site changes. The revision date at the top always reflects the current version. Material changes to how advertising works will be accompanied by a fresh consent prompt rather than a silent update.
