Wheelio was designed with a privacy-first approach. Your wheel data stays in your browser. However, we use third-party services (Google Analytics and Google AdSense) that may collect certain information as described below.
Wheelio itself does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to our own servers. Your wheel segment labels, percentages, and colors are stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage and are never sent to us.
However, we use the following third-party services that may collect data:
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics collects information such as:

Wheelio has no login, no sign-up form, no email wall, and no "create a free account to save your wheel" dark pattern. You open the page, you use it, you leave. That's it.
No account means there is no profile to breach, no password to steal, and no data to leak. The simplest security is not collecting the data in the first place.
The result of every spin is generated using window.crypto.getRandomValues() — the Web Cryptography API built into every modern browser.
This source of randomness is seeded by the operating system's entropy pool (hardware noise, timing jitter, etc.) — making it statistically indistinguishable from true randomness and impossible to predict or manipulate.
All traffic to Wheelio is encrypted via TLS/HTTPS. This protects your session from eavesdropping even on public Wi-Fi networks.
Wheelio is deployed as a fully pre-rendered static site. There is no backend server running custom code — no database, no API endpoint, no session management.
When you build a wheel, Wheelio saves your configuration in your browser's localStorage. This data:
Wheelio does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. Since Wheelio does not collect any personal data directly, and any data collection is performed by third-party services (Google Analytics and Google AdSense), we encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children's internet usage and manage cookie consent accordingly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information on our privacy practices.
