Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

At RandomPickerWheelOfNames (accessible from https://randompickerwheelofnames.com/), user privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy details the types of information we collect and how we safeguard your data.

1. Local Data Processing

All names, lists, text strings, and settings entered into the wheel are processed strictly in your local browser session (client-side). We do NOT upload, collect, or store your participant lists or student rosters on any external server.

2. Information We Collect

Like most standard websites, we may collect basic non-personally identifiable log information automatically provided by web browsers (such as browser type, operating system, language preference, referring URL, and general timestamp) to diagnose technical performance and improve server uptime.

3. Cookies and Local Web Storage

We use client-side browser storage (such as localStorage) to store your customized preferences—including your wheel names/numbers list, spin time length, volume level, and sound preferences—directly on your device. We do not store or transmit these lists to any remote database.

For more details on how cookies are utilized across our website, please see our dedicated Cookie Policy.

4. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense

We use third-party advertising companies, including Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit our website. To comply with Google AdSense program policies and international privacy standards:

• Third-Party Vendors: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.
• Advertising Cookies: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Web Beacons & Tracking: Third-party advertising networks may also use web beacons or JavaScript to measure advertising effectiveness and prevent invalid ad traffic or click fraud.

Your Opt-Out Choices:

• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's official settings page: Google Ads Settings.
• Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the consumer choice portal at www.aboutads.info/choices (or for European residents, Your Online Choices).

5. Analytics Services (Google Analytics)

We utilize Google Analytics to understand website traffic demographics, device types, and page popularity. Google Analytics collects anonymous usage statistics through cookies. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Protecting children's privacy online is especially critical. RandomPickerWheelOfNames does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. All names or labels typed into the wheel remain strictly inside the local web browser memory and are never collected or stored by our servers.

7. GDPR & CCPA / CPRA Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as the EU/EEA or California), you may have specific statutory rights regarding your personal information, including the right to know, access, delete, or opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising. Because we do not store personal account credentials or personal databases, your primary right relates to advertising cookie preferences, which you may exercise via the opt-out links above or your browser cookie settings.

8. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our operational, legal, or regulatory obligations. We encourage users to check this page periodically for any updates.
