Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Wheel Tools("we", "us") handles information when you use our website and its spin-the-wheel tools (the "Service"). We built Wheel Tools to be useful without demanding your personal data — you do not need an account to spin a wheel.

Information we collect

Information you provide. The options, names, and lists you type into a wheel are processed in your browser to run the tool. We do not send that content to our servers or store it on our systems. If you email us, we receive the information you choose to include.

Information stored on your device.We use your browser's local storage to remember preferences such as your theme (light or dark), your cookie-consent choice, the last wheel you customized, and any team names or scores you enter for group play. This data stays on your device, is never sent to our servers, and can be cleared at any time in your browser settings or with the tool's own Reset controls.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting and analytics providers may automatically receive standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and pages viewed. We use this in aggregate to understand traffic and keep the Service reliable.

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies (including local storage and web beacons). We group them as essential (needed to run the site and remember your consent choice), analytics (to measure traffic), and advertising (to show and measure ads). Non-essential cookies load only after you consent. See our Cookie Policy for details and controls.

Advertising

We may display ads served by Google, including through Google AdSense. 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 visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.eu (EU/UK).

For visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, we use Google Consent Mode and a consent banner so that personalized advertising and analytics run only with your permission.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics such as Google Analytics to understand how the Service is used. Where used, IP addresses are anonymized and analytics run only after you grant consent. We do not use analytics to build advertising profiles of individuals.

How we use information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the wheels and the website.
• To measure aggregate traffic and performance.
• To show and measure advertising that helps keep the Service free.
• To respond to your messages and support requests.
• To protect against fraud, abuse, and security issues.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share limited technical data with service providers who help us run the site (such as hosting, analytics, and advertising partners), each acting under their own privacy terms. We may disclose information if required by law.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, and to opt out of personalized advertising or the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. Because we do not require accounts or store your wheel content, most control is exercised directly through your browser and the ad-choices links above. You can also change your consent choice at any time by clearing site data. To make a request, contact us at hello@wheel.tools.

Children's privacy

The Service is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us.

International visitors

We operate globally and our providers may process data in countries other than yours. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

Data security and retention

We take reasonable measures to protect information. Because we do not store your wheel content or require accounts, the personal data we hold is minimal. Aggregate technical logs are retained only as long as needed for the purposes above.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the updated policy.
