Our Privacy Commitment

At Flip A Coin Free, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information.

What We Collect

Individual Coin Flips

We do NOT collect or store individual coin flip results. All flips are processed locally in your browser. Your flip history is stored only on your device using browser localStorage and is never transmitted to our servers.

Aggregate Statistics

We collect anonymous aggregate data:

Total number of flips performed (global counter)
Page views and session duration (via analytics)
Browser type and device category (for optimization)

This data cannot be linked to individual users or specific flip results.

Embed Analytics

When you embed our widget on your website, we collect:

Domain name where the widget is embedded
Number of flips performed through the embed
Widget installation date

This helps us understand widget usage and improve the service. Individual flip results are not tracked.

API Usage

When you use our API, we collect:

API key and request count (for rate limiting)
Request timestamps (for abuse prevention)
IP address (temporarily, for security)

API flip results are returned to you but not stored on our servers.

Cookies

We use minimal cookies:

Theme preference: Stores your dark/light mode choice
Analytics: Anonymous usage tracking (you can opt out)

We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies.

Third-Party Services

Random.org (Optional)

If you enable Random.org integration for enhanced randomness, flip requests are sent to Random.org's API. Review their privacy policy at random.org/privacy.

Analytics

We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how users interact with our site. No personally identifiable information is collected.

Data Storage

Your flip history is stored locally in your browser's localStorage. To clear this data:

Click "Clear History" in the flip tool
Clear your browser's localStorage
Use incognito/private browsing mode

Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access any data we hold about you (contact us for API usage data)
Request deletion of your API key and associated data
Opt out of analytics tracking
Export your local flip history (via CSV export)
