1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Wheelournames ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit and use our website and interactive tools (the "Service"). By using the Service, you acknowledge the practices described below.

2. Information We Collect

No account required. You can use Wheelournames without creating an account. Wheel entries, settings, and winner history are stored locally in your browser and never transmitted to us.

Automatic server log data. Like most websites, our servers automatically record standard technical information when you visit, including:

• IP address and approximate geographic region
• Browser type and version
• Operating system and device class
• Referring URL, pages requested, and timestamps

This log data is used for server metrics, security, abuse prevention, and aggregate performance analysis.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

First-party cookies / local storage. We store your interface preferences (theme, language, audio and motion settings) locally so the app remembers them between visits.

Google AdSense. We use Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service that uses cookies and similar technologies to serve personalized advertisements based on your browsing behavior across this site and other sites you visit. AdSense may collect data including your IP address, ad interaction events, and a cookie-based advertising identifier.

Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to measure site traffic and performance metrics such as pageviews, sessions, device category, and approximate location. Analytics data is aggregated and used to improve the Service.

How to control cookies. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge all offer cookie controls). You can also opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings and opt out of Analytics tracking via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. We honor browser-level "Do Not Track" and Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where technically feasible.

4. How We Use Information

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Service
• Monitor performance and diagnose technical issues
• Prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
• Serve and measure advertising via third-party partners
• Comply with legal obligations

5. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense. We share limited technical data with the following service providers strictly to operate the Service:

• Google AdSense (advertising)
• Google Analytics (traffic measurement)
• Google Fonts (web font delivery)
• Our hosting provider (page delivery and logging)

Note: Under CCPA/CPRA, sharing data with advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising may be classified as "sharing" or "selling." See Section 8 for your opt-out rights.

6. Data Retention

Locally stored data (entries, settings) persists in your browser until you clear it. Server access logs are retained on a rolling basis for security and operational purposes, typically no longer than is necessary for those purposes. Analytics and advertising data are retained according to the respective provider's policies.

7. Your Rights — GDPR (EEA & UK)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) grants you the following rights:

• Right of access to your personal data
• Right to rectification of inaccurate data
• Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")
• Right to restrict or object to processing
• Right to data portability
• Right to withdraw consent at any time
• Right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority

Our legal bases for processing are legitimate interest (security logs, basic analytics) and consent (personalized advertising and non-essential cookies).

8. Your Rights — CCPA / CPRA (California)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, grants you the following rights:

• Right to know what categories of personal information are collected and how they are used
• Right to delete personal information we hold about you
• Right to correct inaccurate personal information
• Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising
• Right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights
• Right to designate an authorized agent

To exercise the right to opt out of sharing for advertising, disable advertising cookies in your browser, use Google Ads Settings, or enable Global Privacy Control (GPC) in a supported browser. You may also email us using the contact below with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information."

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. International Data Transfers

Our servers and service providers may process data in the United States and other jurisdictions. Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent safeguards approved by data-protection authorities.

11. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external tools, resources, and websites that we do not operate. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or data collection methods of any third-party site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external service you visit.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Material changes will be highlighted on the home page where appropriate.
