1. Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how Snow Line Software ("we," "our," or "us") handles information when you use Twirlo: Spin the Wheel (the "App") on your iPhone.
The App does not require an account, does not connect to our servers, and does not send your wheels, options or results to us or anyone else. The only exception is the advertising described in Sections 5 and 6.
2. Data We Collect
2.1 Data stored on your device
Everything you create in the App (wheel names, emoji, options, color themes and your spin history) is stored only on your device. It never leaves your device unless you back up your iPhone with iCloud or a computer.
2.2 App settings
Your preferences (sound, haptics, spin length and a count of your total spins) are stored locally on your device using iOS's standard settings storage and are not transmitted anywhere.
2.3 Data collected by our advertising partner
Google AdMob, the advertising SDK built into the App, collects some device and usage data to show and measure ads. We do not receive this data in a form that identifies you. See Section 5 for details.
3. Data We Do Not Collect
We do not collect:
- Your name, email address or any contact information
- The contents of your wheels, options or results
- Precise location or GPS data
- Contacts, photos, camera or microphone data
- Health, fitness or financial information
- Analytics or crash reports sent to our own servers
4. Local Storage
Twirlo saves the following on your device:
- Wheels: name, emoji, options and color theme
- History: up to your 200 most recent results (wheel name and winning option, with date and time)
- Preferences: sound, haptics, spin length and total spin count
This data is protected by iOS's app sandboxing and device encryption. You can delete history entries in the History tab, and deleting the App permanently removes all of its data.
5. Advertising (AdMob)
5.1 Google AdMob
Twirlo is free and supported by ads from Google AdMob: a banner at the bottom of the screen and, occasionally, a full-screen ad between spins. To serve and measure these ads, AdMob may collect:
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Advertising Identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking | Ad personalization and measurement |
| IP address and approximate (coarse) location derived from it | Showing relevant, region-appropriate ads; fraud prevention |
| Device information (model, iOS version, language, screen size) | Showing ads that fit your device |
| Ad interaction data (ads shown, viewed or tapped) | Ad measurement and reporting |
| Diagnostic data (SDK crash and performance information) | Keeping ad delivery working |
This data is collected and processed by Google under its own privacy policy. It does not include anything you enter in the App.
5.2 Third-party policies

6. Consent & Tracking
6.1 Consent in the EEA, UK and Switzerland
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the App shows Google's consent form on first launch. It explains how your data is used for advertising and lets you accept, refuse or choose specific purposes. Where consent is required and you do not give it, ads are limited to non-personalized ads.
You can change your choice at any time in Twirlo › Settings › Ad privacy choices.
6.2 App Tracking Transparency
iOS may ask whether you allow Twirlo to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites. If you choose Ask App Not to Track, the Advertising Identifier is not shared and ads are not personalized based on it. Your choice never affects how the App works.
To change it later: iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking › Twirlo.
6.3 Other ways to limit ad personalization
- iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Apple Advertising › turn off Personalized Ads
- Google ad settings: myadcenter.google.com
7. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent or trade your information. Apart from the advertising data flow between your device and Google described above, no data leaves the App. We have no access to that advertising data in a form that identifies you.
Using the Share buttons sends a result or wheel only to the app or person you choose.
8. Your Rights
8.1 Access and deletion
All App data is on your device. You can view it in the App, delete history entries or wheels individually, or remove everything by deleting the App.
8.2 Advertising controls
You can withdraw or change ad consent in Twirlo › Settings › Ad privacy choices, change tracking permission in iOS Settings, and reset your Advertising Identifier at any time.
8.3 GDPR / UK GDPR / US state privacy laws
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of personal data, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal data for targeted advertising. Because we hold no personal data ourselves, requests about advertising data are best directed to Google through its privacy tools. You can still contact us (see Section 11) and we will help where we can.
9. Children's Privacy
Twirlo is rated 4+ but is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If a child uses the App, you can limit ad personalization as described in Section 6.
10. Policy Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date above, and note material changes in the App's release notes. Continuing to use the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
