Data processing for guest and account users

Learn how WheelOfSpins processes guest entries, account data, local browser storage, user rights under GDPR and CCPA, and privacy protections for classrooms.

WheelOfSpins operates primarily as a client-side utility. When using the tool as a guest, your custom wheel entries, color schemes, and spin settings remain on your local device. If you register an account, we store your email address, display name, hashed authentication credentials, and explicitly saved wheel configurations in our cloud database to enable cross-device synchronization.

  • Guest wheels stored locally in your browser
  • Account email and saved wheels stored securely
  • No account required for basic wheel spinning

Local storage and browser data behavior

We use browser localStorage and sessionStorage to retain active wheel lists, theme selections, and sound preferences between sessions. This data never touches our server unless you explicitly save a wheel to your registered account or create a public share link. You can clear this stored data at any time through your web browser settings.

  • localStorage for persistent offline wheel configuration
  • Zero automated server uploads for guest lists
  • Full manual control via standard browser storage settings

Data rights, GDPR, and CCPA compliance

Users under GDPR, CCPA, and CPRA framework regulations possess rights to access, export, correct, or request deletion of personal information stored in registered accounts. Because guest wheel data resides solely on your local browser, clearing your local browsing data removes guest lists immediately. For account-bound data, submit requests via our contact page.

  • Formal data access, export, and deletion requests
  • GDPR rights for European Union users
  • CCPA/CPRA privacy protections for California residents

Classroom use and children's privacy

WheelOfSpins is widely utilized by teachers for random student selection and classroom activities. We do not collect student personal information, track individual student metrics, or require student registration. In guest mode, student name lists remain entirely within the teacher's local browser memory.

  • Zero student personal data collection or tracking
  • No registration required for classroom spin wheels
  • Full compatibility with FERPA and COPPA guidelines

Frequently asked questions

How do I request deletion of my account data?

Submit an account deletion request through our contact page. Upon verification, all account records, saved wheels, and authentication logs associated with your email are permanently removed within 30 days.

Does WheelOfSpins sell user data or wheel lists?

No. WheelOfSpins never sells, rents, or monetizes user account details, guest entries, or saved wheel lists to third parties or advertising networks.

What happens to my wheel data if I clear my browser cookies?

Clearing browser local storage removes guest wheels and saved preferences from that specific browser. Account-saved wheels stored in your online account remain safe.
