Frequently Asked Questions
Is this wheel spinner truly fair and random?
Yes. Unlike generic tools that rely on Math.random() or animation frame positions, our selection engine uses the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues). The winner is selected before the animation begins using modulo-bias rejection sampling, and the animation strictly plays out that predetermined result.
Do you store or track the names I enter?
Never. Privacy is a core principle. All entries, weights, settings, and spin history are processed entirely in your browser's local memory and localStorage. We do not transmit your entry lists to any analytics providers or external servers.
Can I share a custom wheel with my friends or colleagues?
Absolutely. When you configure your entries and click 'Share Wheel', we compress the configuration into a versioned, URL-safe Base64 token and append it to the link. Anyone opening that link will see your exact entries and settings instantly, with no account signup required.
