1. Controller and contact
WheelPickr is a free random name picker wheel operated as a private side project. If you have questions about this privacy policy or want to exercise your data rights, you can contact the site owner via the imprint or contact details provided in the app or on the hosting platform.
2. What data is processed when you use WheelPickr
2.1. Technical data
When you visit wheelpickr.net, your browser automatically sends technical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system and the time of the request. This data is necessary to deliver the website and may be stored in server logs for a short period of time for security and troubleshooting.
2.2. Names and entries in the wheel
WheelPickr is designed so that your names and entries stay in your browser. The tool runs locally in JavaScript and does not automatically upload your lists to a database. If you use the “save setup” function, the list is stored in your browser’s local storage so you can reuse it later on the same device.
2.3. Contact data
If you contact the site owner by email or another channel, the data you provide (for example your name and email address) will be used only to process your request.
3. Cookies and consent
WheelPickr uses a cookie banner to ask for your consent before optional cookies and scripts are loaded.
- Necessary cookies: used to remember your cookie choices and basic settings. These are required for the site to function.
- Analytics cookies (optional): only set if you consent to analytics in the cookie banner.
- Advertising cookies (optional): only set if you consent to advertising in the cookie banner.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking “Cookie settings” in the footer of the main page.
4. Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
If you allow analytics cookies, WheelPickr may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to measure how the website is used. GA4 is provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).
GA4 uses cookies to collect information such as visited pages, time spent on the site and interactions with elements. IP addresses are stored only in shortened (anonymised) form. The information generated by the cookie is usually transferred to a Google server in the EU or USA and stored there.
You can prevent the use of analytics by refusing analytics cookies in the banner or by changing your consent later.
5. Advertising (Google AdSense)
WheelPickr may display banner ads to keep the service free. Ads are served through Google AdSense, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited. Advertising scripts are only loaded if you have consented to advertising cookies in the cookie banner.
AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to show relevant ads and to measure performance. You can manage your AdSense-related preferences via the cookie banner, your browser settings or directly in your Google account.
6. Legal basis
Depending on your location, the legal basis for processing your data may be:
- performance of a contract or steps taken at your request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR),
- legitimate interests in running a secure and reliable website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR),
- or your explicit consent for analytics and advertising (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
7. Storage period
Technical log data is kept only as long as necessary for security and troubleshooting. Analytics data may be kept for the retention periods configured in Google Analytics. Local storage entries in your browser (for saved wheel setups) remain until you clear them or reset the app.
8. Your rights
To the extent applicable under your local law (for example under the GDPR in the EU), you may have the right to access, rectify or erase your personal data, to restrict processing, to object to processing and to data portability. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
9. Changes to this privacy policy
This privacy policy may be updated from time to time when WheelPickr or relevant laws change. The current version is always available on this page.
