3. How the Draw Tool Handles Your Data

This section is the most important one for most users of this Site. When you execute a draw, the following information is transmitted to and stored by The Web Design Ninja to create the verifiable draw record:

• Entry count the number of entries in your pool.
• Entry list hash a one-way SHA-256 cryptographic hash of your sorted entry list. This is a mathematical fingerprint. It cannot be reversed to recover the original names or entries, and we cannot see your entry list from this hash.
• Random seed the cryptographic random seed used for the draw.
• Timestamp the date and time of the draw.
• Draw result the winning name(s) or number(s) produced by the draw.
• Draw ID the unique identifier for the draw record.

This draw record is accessible via the public verify URL associated with the draw ID. If you share your verify link publicly, the draw record (including winner names and entry count) will be viewable by anyone with the link. Do not include sensitive personal information in your entry list if you intend to share the verify link publicly. Draw records may be retained indefinitely to support the permanent verifiability of past draws. If you need a draw record removed, contact us using the information in Section 15.

4. Analytics & Usage Data

We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the Site which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, what draw modes are used, what devices and browsers are in use, and what geographic regions visitors come from (at the country or regional level, not precise location). This data helps us improve the Site and the Tool. Analytics data is collected in aggregate. We do not use analytics to identify individual visitors. The analytics tools we use may set cookies on your browser (see Section 5). If we use a third-party analytics service (such as Google Analytics), that service's privacy policy also applies to data processed by their service. We configure our analytics tools to minimize personally identifiable data collection where possible, including IP address anonymization where the service supports it.
