Privacy Policy

Effective October 21, 2026

Wellness Wheel (mywellnesswheel.com) is a free personal reflection tool run by Fabien Hacker. This policy explains what information the site handles, where it goes, and the choices you have. It's written to be read, so it's short.

The short version

What the site stores, and where

On your device. Your scores, notes, the optional "why" answers, your optional first name, and your settings are saved in your browser's local storage. They stay there until you clear them. They are not sent anywhere unless you turn on sync.

On the server, only if you turn on sync. When sync is on, your entries and your optional first name are encrypted on your device using your sync code, then stored on the server along with a version number and the time of the last update. The server stores a scrambled identifier derived from your code, never the code itself, and has no way to unlock the data. Anyone who has your sync code can open your synced entries, so keep it private.

To stop people guessing sync codes. When a sync code lookup doesn't find anything, the server keeps a scrambled (one-way hashed) version of your network's IP address and a count for about 10 to 20 minutes, then deletes it automatically.

Backup files. If you download a backup, that file is saved wherever you choose. It isn't encrypted, so store it somewhere you trust.

Health-related information

Your check-ins describe how parts of your life are going, such as your emotional, physical, or financial wellbeing, so they can be health-related. They are used only to show you your wheel, history, trends, and reports. They are never sold, never shared for advertising, and never shared with anyone else. Synced entries are encrypted so they can't be read by the site or its host.

Services that help run the site

None of these services receive your check-in scores or notes.

What the site doesn't do

Your choices

Because the site can't read synced data or link it to you, it can't look up your entries for you. If you have a question or request about your data, email fabien.hacker@gmail.com.

Security

Synced data is encrypted on your device with AES-GCM using a key made from your sync code, and the connection to the site is always HTTPS. No system is perfectly secure, so keep your sync code and backup files private.

Children

Wellness Wheel is meant for people 13 and older and isn't directed at children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used sync, contact us and we'll help remove it.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new effective date.
