Privacy Policy

Effective & Last Updated: 9 August 2026

At Smart Picker Wheel (accessible from smartpickerwheel.com), one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains detailed information regarding the types of information that is collected and recorded by Smart Picker Wheel and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us at contact@smartpickerwheel.com.

1. Client-Side Data Processing & Privacy Guarantee

Unlike traditional web services, Smart Picker Wheel operates primarily on a client-side architecture:

  • Wheel Entries & Custom Options: The option lists, names, numbers, or text items you enter into any of our picker tools are stored exclusively in your device's browser local storage (localStorage).
  • Custom Images & Stamps: Any images or custom graphics uploaded for wheel stamps are processed entirely in your web browser using client-side Data URLs. Uploaded images are never transmitted to, stored on, or processed by our server infrastructure.
  • Share Links: When you generate a shareable link for a custom wheel, the entries are encoded directly into the URL fragment. No database entry is created on our servers.

2. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Disclosures

Smart Picker Wheel uses third-party advertising vendors, including Google AdSense, to serve advertisements when you visit our website.

  • Third-Party Vendor Cookies: Google and other third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites on the Internet.
  • Google DART Cookie: Google's use of advertising cookies (such as the DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to smartpickerwheel.com and/or other websites on the Internet.

3. Google Analytics & Aggregate Traffic Data

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymous usage statistics to help us understand how visitors interact with the site, measure performance, and optimize our tools.

Google Analytics collects aggregate, non-personally identifiable information such as browser type, device category, referring URL, time spent on pages, and basic site interactions (e.g., spin button clicks, share button triggers).

IP Anonymization: IP masking and anonymization features are active on all Google Analytics requests, ensuring that your full IP address is never written to disk or processed into identifiable logs by Google Analytics reports.

4. Information You Actively Provide

If you contact us directly via our Contact Page or send an email to contact@smartpickerwheel.com, we receive your email address, name (if provided), and the contents of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and provide user support. We never sell, rent, or trade your contact information with third parties.

7. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet.Smart Picker Wheel is designed for general audiences (including educators and classroom usage) and does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13.

Because our picker wheel tools require no user registration, student accounts, or login details, students can interact with the wheels without submitting personal data. If a parent or guardian believes that a child has submitted personal information via email correspondence, please contact us immediately at contact@smartpickerwheel.com, and we will promptly remove such information from our records.

8. Log Files & Data Security

Smart Picker Wheel follows standard procedures for hosting log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All web hosting services do this as part of hosting analytics. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective & Last Updated" date at the top.
