Privacy Policy

In short

• Every draw is made in your browser. What you type into a tool is not sent to us.
• There are no accounts, and we do not ask for your name or email address to use any tool.
• A list is kept only if you press Save, and then only in your own browser's local storage.
• When advertising is shown, advertising partners may collect some data. This is explained below.

What you enter in the tools

The tools are JavaScript that runs in your browser. The names, numbers, dates, options and questions you type are used by the open page to make a draw and are kept in its memory only until you change the page, reload it or close the tab. We do not receive, store, read or log them. The passwords the generator makes are drawn on your device, shown to you and never sent anywhere or kept.

Saved lists and local storage

The wheel, the name picker, the team generator and the list generator can save a list under a name. A saved list is written to your browser's local storage, in one entry called random-me:lists, and stays there until you delete it, until you clear this site's data in your browser settings, or until you use the button below. It is never sent to us, and it is not shared between your devices. This is the only thing the site keeps in your browser.

Shared links

The wheel can copy a link that carries its list. The list is written after the # sign of the link. Browsers do not send that part to a server, so we never receive it. Anyone who has the link can read the list, and a messaging app, a browser history or a bookmark may keep the whole link, so share it only with people who should see the names.

Information collected automatically

Like any website, the servers that deliver this site (our hosting provider) may record technical details of each request, such as your IP address, the page requested, the date and time, and your browser type. These logs are used to keep the service running and secure and to diagnose errors. They do not contain what you type into the tools, because that is never sent.

The site uses Vercel Web Analytics to count visits and see which pages are used. It records page views with the page address, the referring site, and coarse details such as country, browser, operating system and device type. Vercel states that it does not use cookies and does not follow you from one site to another. It never sees what you type into a tool.

The fonts of the site are served from the site itself, so reading a page does not send a request to a font provider.

Cookies and advertising

The site itself does not set cookies. The site may be funded by advertising, and when ads are shown they are served by a third party such as Google AdSense. Advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers and similar technologies to deliver and measure ads, limit how often you see the same ad and, where permitted, show ads based on your interests. We do not control and cannot access the data these partners collect, and nothing you type into a tool is shared with them.

Where the law requires your consent for such technologies, for example in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, ads that rely on them are shown only after you consent. You can manage personalised advertising from Google through Google’s Ads Settings or through aboutads.info, and your browser lets you block or delete cookies.

Children

The site is a general-purpose utility and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Your rights

Because we do not collect what you type or create profiles, we hold very little data about visitors. Depending on where you live you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data held about you, or to object to its use. To make a request, or to ask anything about this policy, use the contact page.

Changes to this policy

If we change how the site handles data, we will update this page and the “Last updated” date at the top.
