Privacy Policy
Last updated: 22 October 2026
Picker Wheel ("we", "us", the "Site") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site you agree to this policy.
1. Information we collect
Data you enter
The entries, titles, colors and settings you type into a wheel are stored only in your own browser using local storage. They are not transmitted to or stored on our servers. Clearing your browser data removes them.
Data collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics may record standard log information such as your IP address, browser type, device, referring page and pages viewed. This is used to keep the Site secure and to understand aggregate usage.
Flag images. Some wheels display flags loaded from a third-party image service (flagcdn.com). Requesting an image sends your IP address and browser details to that service. Nothing else is shared with it — it never receives your entries or results.
Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how the Site is used — which pages and wheels are opened, how many spins happen, and roughly which country visitors come from. It sets first-party cookies (_ga) to tell visits apart. It uses your IP address only to estimate your country and does not log or store it, and it never receives your wheel entries or results. If you switch ads off in Cookie Settings, Analytics stops setting cookies on your device. You can also block it on every site with Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
2. Cookies and local storage
We use cookies and browser local storage for three purposes:
- Essential — remembering your wheels, settings and cookie choice.
- Analytics — understanding aggregate, anonymous usage so we can improve the Site.
- Advertising — serving and measuring ads (see below). Ads load when you open the Site; you can turn them off at any time from Cookie Settings.
You can manage your choice at any time from the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer, or by changing your browser settings. See our Cookie Policy for details.
3. Advertising & Google AdSense
We use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to serve ads when you visit the Site.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu (EU/UK).
- Ads load as soon as you open the Site. You can switch them off at any time with the Cookie Settings link in the footer; after that, no advertising scripts are loaded on your device.
4. How we use information
We use the limited information we collect to operate and secure the Site, measure and improve performance, and display relevant advertising that keeps the Site free.
5. Children
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data, and to switch off advertising. Because we store your wheel data only in your browser, you can delete it yourself at any time by clearing your browser storage. For other requests, contact us via our Contact page.
7. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
8. Contact
For privacy questions or to exercise any of the rights above, email [email protected] or use our Feedback & Contact page.
