Random Pick Tools is designed to work mostly in the browser. This page explains the main data flows that support saved settings, repeatable draws, analytics, optional link sharing, and any future advertising integrations.

Information stored in your browser

The site may store recent tools, scenario presets, experiment assignments, tab choices, and similar UX preferences in your browser using local storage or session storage.

This local browser storage helps the tools reopen faster and keep your current setup on the same device. It is not intended as a permanent backup.

Analytics

The site uses Umami analytics on approved project domains to measure aggregate usage patterns such as page opens, clicks, and draw flow events.

Analytics are used to improve page quality and understand which tools are being used most often. Analytics settings may change over time as the project evolves.

Advertising and Google services

The site includes project-level AdSense verification and an ads.txt file so the domain can be reviewed for Google advertising eligibility. Ads may not appear on every page, and the core tools should remain usable without an account.

The site code does not intentionally serialize tool inputs or results to AdSense. Google advertising code executes in the page context, however, and may process cookies, device and browser details, broad location, consent choices, and page-context signals.

If Google ads are shown, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies for ad serving, fraud prevention, frequency capping, reporting, and measurement. Google explains these advertising cookies and controls at Google advertising privacy and terms.

You can control cookies in your browser and manage Google ad personalization through Google account settings where available. Some advertising may still be based on page context, browser type, broad location, or other non-personalized signals.

Share links and shortened links

Some tools can encode draw state, inputs, settings, or results into a share link so the same state can be reopened later. If you create or send a share link, treat it as information you are intentionally sharing.

When optional link shortening is configured by the site operator, the long URL may be sent to that configured shortlink endpoint in order to generate a shorter link. The tools do not send share links to a public shortening provider by default.

Accounts and payment data

Random Pick Tools does not require a user account to run the core tools and does not collect direct payment information through the site.

Optional template cloud sync, when configured by the site operator, uses a lightweight account identifier entered by the user. Do not use a sensitive password as that identifier.

Content you enter into tools

Many inputs, results, and templates stay in your browser unless you intentionally copy, download, share, or sync them through an optional configured endpoint. Treat classroom rosters, participant lists, and gift assignments as private information.

If a share URL encodes names, rules, or result state, anyone with that URL may be able to reopen the same content. Review the link before posting it in public.
