Privacy Policy for SpinThatName!

Effective Date: May 5, 2025

Welcome to SpinThatName! This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website located at www.spinthatname.com.

Important Note: This website primarily uses your browser's **LocalStorage** functionality to operate. We do not actively collect personal identification information like your name, email address, or IP address on our servers through the basic use of this tool.

1. Information We Store Locally

When you use SpinThatName!, certain data is stored directly within your web browser using LocalStorage. This includes:

• Item Lists: The lists of names or items you create or load to spin on the wheel.
• Saved Lists: If you use the "Save List" feature, your named lists are stored so you can access them later.
• Theme Preference: Your choice of light or dark theme.
• Consent Status: A flag indicating that you have acknowledged our use of local storage (via the consent banner).

This data remains solely within your browser on your device. It is not transmitted to our servers.

2. Purpose of Using LocalStorage

We use LocalStorage for the following purposes:

• To provide the core functionality of the website (remembering your list items between spins).
• To allow you to save and reload your custom lists for convenience.
• To remember your preferred visual theme across sessions.
• To remember your consent status so the banner doesn't reappear unnecessarily.

The legal basis for processing this functional data stored locally under GDPR can be considered our legitimate interest in providing the requested service and user convenience, acknowledged by your use of the site after seeing the consent banner.

3. Cookies

Currently, SpinThatName! does **not** use traditional HTTP cookies for tracking, analytics, or advertising purposes. Our primary storage mechanism is your browser's LocalStorage, as described above.

If we introduce features in the future that require cookies (especially non-essential ones), we will update this policy and implement appropriate consent mechanisms.

4. Data Sharing

We do not share the data stored in your browser's LocalStorage with any third parties. As the data resides entirely on your device, it is not accessible to us or others unless you physically share your device or browser profile.

5. Data Retention and User Control

Data stored in LocalStorage persists in your browser until:

• You manually clear your browser's cache and site data.
• You use the "Clear List", "Delete List", or "Clear History" functions within the SpinThatName! application for the respective data.

You have full control over the data stored locally by managing your browser's settings or using the features provided within the application.

6. Your Rights

Under GDPR, you have rights regarding your personal data. While we don't collect traditional personal data on servers, regarding the data stored locally, you have the right to:

• **Access:** You can view your lists and history within the application.
• **Rectification:** You can modify your lists by adding or removing items.
• **Erasure:** You can delete saved lists, clear the current list, clear history using the application buttons, or clear all data by clearing your browser's site data for SpinThatName!.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any changes. The effective date at the top indicates the last revision.
