Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information SpinChoice (operated under the domain toolselect.co) collects when you use the website, how that information is used, and what choices you have. We aim to be honest, clear, and minimal — we collect only what we need.
Information We Collect
1. Information You Enter
When you create a wheel, the option names and weights you type are stored in your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device and is not sent to us unless you explicitly click the Share button.
2. Shared Wheels
If you click Share, the wheel data (option names and weights only) is uploaded to our server and assigned a random short ID. This data is stored for 90 days and then automatically deleted. We do not associate shared wheels with any personal identifier — there's no way for us to link a shared wheel back to you.
3. Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate usage — how many people visit, which features they use, and where they come from. Google Analytics may set cookies and collect anonymized information including approximate location, device type, browser, and pages visited. We do not collect names, emails, or any directly identifying information through analytics.
4. Advertising
We may show ads via Google AdSense or similar networks. These networks may use cookies to show personalized ads based on your past visits. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google's Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
How We Use Information
We use the data described above to:
- Make the spin wheel and other tools work correctly
- Save your wheel options between visits
- Allow you to share wheels with other people
- Understand how the site is used so we can improve it
- Show ads that help keep the service free
We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with third parties except as required to operate the services listed above (e.g., Google Analytics, Cloudflare hosting).
Cookies
SpinChoice itself does not set first-party cookies. However, third-party services we use (Google Analytics, Google AdSense) may set cookies in your browser. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.
For visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland, we use a Google-certified consent management platform to collect consent for personalized ads and analytics in compliance with GDPR.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access any data we hold about you (though we collect almost nothing personal).
- Delete your locally stored options at any time by clicking the Clear Options button or clearing your browser's local storage.
- Withdraw consent for analytics and personalized ads through the consent banner.
- Opt out of analytics by using browser extensions like Google Analytics Opt-out.
Data Retention
Local storage data persists in your browser until you clear it. Shared wheels are stored on our server for 90 days, then automatically deleted. Google Analytics data is retained according to Google's policies (default: 14 months).
Children's Privacy
SpinChoice is suitable for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted on the homepage.
