In short: the wheel runs in your browser. Our server only receives what you choose to share: a shared wheel, a draw with proof, a live room, an account if you create one, and a message if you write to us. We do not sell data.
What we store and for how long
We keep data only as long as it is needed for the feature you used. These are the periods:
| When you… | What is stored | Where | When it is deleted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edit a wheel | The list, settings and history | Your browser | When you delete it or clear the site data |
| Pick a language | Your choice (cookie nw_locale) | Your browser | After 1 year or when you clear site data |
| Share a wheel | The list, title and settings | Our server | 365 days after the link was last opened |
| Run a draw with proof | The list, its fingerprint, the secret, the result and the time | Our server | 365 days after the proof was last opened |
| Open a live room | The room code, participants’ names and results | Our server | Within 24 hours after the room closes |
| Create an account | Your email, a password hash and your list of saved wheels | Our server | Right away when you use "Delete account" |
| Write to us | Your email address and the message | Our mailbox | 6 months after the conversation ends |
| Visit any page | IP address, page address, browser and time (server logs) | Our server | Within 90 days |
- Deleted data can stay in our database backups for up to 14 more days.
- After you delete your account, wheels you shared keep working for the people who have the link, under the same 365-day rule.
Traffic analytics
Our spin counter adds one to a daily total after each spin; it receives nothing about you or your list. This needs no consent.
Yandex Metrika shows us how people find and use the site: visits, sources, clicks on pages and links. It sets its own cookies (listed on the Cookies page) and receives your IP address, the page address without anything after "?" or "#", the referring site and browser and device information. Session recording (Webvisor) is off, and pages with your own content (shared wheels, rooms, the account) are sent under a general title, so Metrika never receives your lists, names or results.
In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Metrika starts only after you agree in the consent message, and "Privacy settings" in the footer lets you change your choice at any time. Google Analytics is switched off.
Ads
The site may show ads from Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads: its advertising cookies let Google and its partners show you ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
You can turn off personalised ads in Google’s Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com) and opt out of some third-party vendors’ cookies at aboutads.info. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, ad cookies are set only after you agree in the consent message. How Google uses data from sites that show its ads: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
What we never do
- Sell your data or share it for advertising.
- Give your lists, names or results to advertisers or analytics services.
- Look at the lists on your wheel: they do not leave your browser until you use Share, Live room or Draw with proof.
Services that see requests
- Cloudflare is our network provider: it delivers the pages and protects the site from attacks, and it sees your IP address and the page you request. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
- Resend sends our emails (password reset and account notices) from [email protected] and receives mail sent to our addresses.
- Yandex Metrika (metrika.yandex.com, run by Yandex) counts visits for us as described above; Yandex processes this data under its own privacy policy, yandex.com/legal/confidential.
- Google shows the consent message in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, stores your choice and serves the ads described above (Google privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy).
- Fonts and all other files load from our own server, not from third parties.
Your rights
You can delete your account at any time on the Account page; it is removed right away. To get a copy of your data, correct it, delete a shared wheel or a draw proof, or object to how we use it, write to [email protected]. We answer within 30 days. You can also complain to your data protection authority.
If this page changes
Every change is listed in What’s new. If we ever add more analytics or ad partners, we will update this page first and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before switching them on.
