Wheels and Pickers is a small independent project.

The short version

There are no accounts. The tools run in your browser, and your picks are not sent anywhere. The site sets no cookies and shows no adverts today. We count visits, as described below.

What stays in your browser

Only the name wheel saves anything: the list of entries you type, in your browser's local storage on your own device, so the list is still there next time. It is sent nowhere. You can remove it by clearing the list on the page, or by clearing this site's data in your browser. If your browser blocks local storage, the wheel still works and does not remember the list.

No other page stores anything on your device. The tally on the yes or no wheel and the letters, teams, brackets, team names, seating charts and song picks stay in the open page and are gone when you close or reload it.

Random picks

Answers, letters, teams and orders are picked in your browser with its secure random numbers. Nothing about a pick leaves your device.

Counting visits

We use Umami Cloud, an analytics service, in its European Union data region. When you open a page, your browser sends Umami a request. Like any web request, it carries your IP address and details of your browser.

Umami says it uses these to work out an approximate country and to tell one visitor from another with a scrambled identifier that changes every month, and that it does not keep the IP address. It sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser.

From this we see totals: which pages were opened, the site or search that sent the visit, the country, and the type of device and browser. The site does not record anything you do inside the tools.

Adverts

The site shows no adverts today. If that changes, this page will be updated first, and visitors in Europe will be asked for consent before any advertising cookies are used.

What our host sees

The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, it processes your IP address and basic request details in order to deliver the pages and to protect against abuse. We do not use this to identify you.

Links to other sites

The Buy me a coffee link opens Ko-fi, a separate site with its own privacy policy. Nothing is sent to Ko-fi unless you follow the link.

Children

The site has no accounts and does not ask for your name or contact details.

Changes

If what the site collects changes, this page will say so before it happens, and the date at the top will change.
