Privacy, Local Storage & URL Sharing

Your choices remain private on your own device. The Decision Wheel operates entirely within your browser:

• Local Storage Only: Custom options, settings, and spin history are saved in your browser's localStorage so your list is still there when you return.
• Zero Server Databases: Your choices are never sent to, stored in, or logged by an external database.
• URL-Based Sharing: When you click "Share Wheel", your choices are encoded into the URL parameters client-side (?items=...) so you can share your exact wheel with friends without server uploads. Note that anyone with the link can view the encoded choices.
