Wheel Decide does not have a proper privacy section so this is difficult to assess. It uses cookies and displays advertisements, which seem to be tailored to user location. Wheel Decide employs Google Analytics on all pages, so choices created by the individual choice entry method will be visible to Google and to the administrators of the website. It acknowledges users’ rights to data deletion and provides a form to request it. Wheel Decide does not state compliance with the GDPR. See more here.
