Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 4, 2026

This privacy policy describes how Random Choices handles your data. We built this app to be as private as possible — your data stays on your device by default.

1. What data we collect

We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or location.

The only data the app stores is:

• The lists you create (list names and option text)
• Option colors and weights you set
• Your theme preference (light, dark, or auto)

All of this is stored locally on your device using your browser's IndexedDB database. We do not send this data to our servers unless you explicitly use the optional share features described below.

2. No ads, no tracking

Random Choices does not display advertisements and does not use any analytics or tracking SDKs. We do not track your behavior, we do not build profiles, and we do not share data with advertisers or data brokers.

3. Optional sharing features

If you choose to share a list, two optional mechanisms are available:

• Server Share: When you tap "Share Online," the app sends your list name and options to a temporary server to generate a short share code. This data is stored only long enough for the other person to retrieve it (typically a few hours) and is not linked to any personal identifier.
• QR Code / URL Import: When you generate a QR code, your list data is encoded into the URL as a base64 string. The data never touches a server — it travels directly from your screen to the other person's camera via the QR code. If you share that URL through messaging apps, those apps may handle the data according to their own policies.
• JSON Export: When you export a list, a JSON file is created and saved to your device. You control where that file goes.

4. Permissions

The app requests only one device capability:

• Vibration: Used for light haptic feedback when you interact with selectors (wheel spin, card flips, etc.). This is entirely local and does not transmit any data.

The app does not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, location, photos, files, or notifications.

5. Data retention and deletion

Your data lives on your device for as long as you keep the app installed. You can delete individual lists at any time within the app. If you uninstall the app, all local data is removed automatically by the operating system. We do not retain copies on our servers.

6. Children

Random Choices is not directed at children under 13, but it does not collect any personal information from anyone. Parents and guardians can use the app without concern.

7. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Since the app does not collect contact information, we cannot notify you directly.

8. Contact

If you have questions about this privacy policy, you can reach us through the support channel listed on the app store page where you downloaded Random Choices.
