Privacy Policy

spinthewheelsonline is designed to work without collecting any personal information. We do not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or share any identifying details. However, like virtually all websites, some basic technical information is automatically collected when you visit.

We want to be crystal clear about what we do not collect, ever, under any circumstances:

• Your name, email address, phone number, or any contact information
• Any text you type into the wheel entries panel — this never leaves your browser
• Your spin results, spin history, or any choices you make on the wheel
• Payment or financial information (the service is free — no transactions occur)
• Precise geographic location (GPS, street address, or city-level data)
• Your social media profiles, login credentials, or linked accounts
• Biometric data of any kind
• Data about minors specifically — we do not knowingly target or collect data from children

The limited, anonymized data we do collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:

• Site improvement: Understanding which wheel types are most popular, what devices people use, and where traffic comes from helps us prioritize new features and fix issues.
• Performance optimization: Knowing which browsers and connection speeds are common helps us ensure spinthewheelsonline loads fast for everyone.
• Bug detection: Aggregated error reports help us identify and fix technical problems before they affect many users.
• Content decisions: Aggregate popularity data informs which new wheel types to build next (e.g., when "food picker" was highly requested, we built it).
• Advertising delivery: Anonymized demographic information (country, device type) is shared with advertising partners to display relevant ads. See the Advertising section for details.

spinthewheelsonline uses a minimal set of cookies and browser storage technologies. Here's exactly what we use and why:

You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Removing functional cookies will not prevent you from using spinthewheelsonline — the wheel will still work normally. Removing analytics or ad cookies simply means we won't count your visit in our aggregate statistics.

spinthewheelsonline is supported by advertising revenue, which allows us to keep the service completely free. We are committed to displaying advertising in a way that respects your privacy and doesn't compromise your experience.

• We work with reputable advertising networks that comply with GDPR, CCPA, and IAB standards.
• Ads are served in clearly designated areas of the page and are visually separated from content.
• We do not allow intrusive ad formats such as pop-unders, full-page interstitials, or auto-playing video ads with sound.
• Our advertising partners may use anonymized, non-personalized signals (country, device type, page context) to select relevant ads.
• We do not permit our advertising partners to create personal profiles of spinthewheelsonline users.

spinthewheelsonline uses a small number of carefully chosen third-party services to operate and improve the site. Each one has been selected for their privacy standards.

We do not integrate with social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter/X, TikTok, etc.), payment processors, CRM tools, or email marketing platforms. spinthewheelsonline has no login system and no user accounts.

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws such as the GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), PIPEDA (Canada), and others. Because we collect very little personal data, most of these rights are easily satisfied — but we take them seriously regardless.

spinthewheelsonline is widely used in educational settings, including by teachers in K–12 classrooms. We take children's privacy very seriously and have designed the tool accordingly.

• spinthewheelsonline does not collect any personal information from users of any age, including children.
• We do not require registration, so there is no way for a child to create an account or provide personal details.
• Student names or any other information entered into the wheel are never transmitted to our servers.
• We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and equivalent international regulations.
• We do not knowingly target advertising at children or use data to profile minors.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect spinthewheelsonline and any data that passes through it:

• HTTPS encryption: All traffic between your browser and spinthewheelsonline is encrypted using TLS (HTTPS). Look for the padlock icon in your browser's address bar.
• No database of personal data: Because we don't store personal information, there is no personal data database that could be breached.
• Regular security updates: Our hosting infrastructure and third-party dependencies are kept up to date with security patches.
• Minimal data footprint: The best protection for your data is not collecting it in the first place. Our minimal collection approach dramatically reduces risk.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
• Post a clear notice on the spinthewheelsonline homepage for at least 30 days after any significant change
• If changes materially affect how we handle data, we will make the notification more prominent

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of spinthewheelsonline after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you disagree with any changes, please discontinue using the service.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the handling of your data, we want to hear from you. We aim to respond to all privacy inquiries within 5 business days.

spinthewheelsonline is operated independently. This privacy policy was last reviewed and updated on March 1, 2026.
