Privacy policy

The short version

Everything you type into KeenWheel stays in your browser on your device. It is never sent to us or to anyone else. There are no accounts and no advertising. We count visits with Google Analytics, which sees which pages are opened but never what you type.

What is stored on your device

So that your work is still there when you come back, the site stores the following in your browser’s local storage: the wheels and lists you save, the one you last had open and your edits to ready-made wheels, your recent results, settings such as sound on or off and your light or dark theme choice.

This data never leaves your device. You can delete saved wheels and clear your history on the tool pages. Clearing this site’s data in your browser settings removes everything at once. Private or incognito windows usually discard it when they close.

Because the data lives only in your browser, we cannot recover it for you. Some browsers, notably Safari, may remove a site’s stored data if you do not visit it for several weeks.

Links you share

When you share a wheel, its entries are written into the link after the # sign. Anyone with the link can see them, so only share lists you are happy to share. The part after the # is not sent to our host or to Google Analytics.

What our host sees

The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical request data, such as your IP address, browser type and the address of the page requested, to deliver pages and protect the site against abuse. That data never includes what you type, because what you type is not sent anywhere. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

Analytics and cookies

The site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are used. It collects the pages you view, your approximate location (country and city, worked out from your IP address, which Google Analytics 4 does not store), your device and browser type, and the page that referred you. Where analytics storage is allowed, it also uses first-party cookies holding a random identifier to tell one browser from another. Advertising features and Google signals are switched off.

It never receives what you enter. The part of an address after the # is not sent to Google Analytics, and neither is anything you type into a page.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are measured without analytics cookies.

To opt out, block cookies or scripts from Google in your browser settings, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The site works the same either way. Google processes this data on our behalf; see Google’s privacy policy.

There is no advertising. If that changes, this page will be updated first to say exactly what is collected, by whom, and how to opt out. Even then, what you type will stay on your device.

Children

KeenWheel is a general-audience site that teachers often use in class. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age, and the site has no accounts, no chat and no advertising.

Your rights

Privacy laws such as the GDPR give you rights over personal data an organization holds about you. KeenWheel does not hold any: what you save is on your device, under your control, and you can delete it at any time. For anything else, contact us at the address below.
