You have the right to withdraw any consent you previously provided to us regarding the processing of your Personal Information, at any time and free of charge. We will apply your preferences going forward and this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before your consent withdrawal. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, you may contact us.

7. INTERNATIONAL

The information we collect about you may be transferred to, and accessed from within, the United States and other countries, as permitted by applicable law. These other countries may not offer the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction. We will take steps to maintain an adequate level of protection for this information in the jurisdiction(s) in which we process it.

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland, you have certain rights and protections under the law regarding our processing of your personal data. Please see https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en for contact details of your local data protection authority.

8. DATA SECURITY

The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards, including the use of appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed in an unauthorized way. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

To the extent that we collect sensitive personal data from you (for example, your bank account number or other financial personal information), we use SSL encryption to protect that information. However, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about the security of our Products, you may contact us.

We have put procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will always notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

9. DATA RETENTION

We store the information we collect about you for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which we originally collected it. We may retain certain information for legitimate business purposes or as required by law. When determining the retention period, we take into account various criteria, such as the type of products and services requested by or provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you, the impact on the services we provide to you if we delete some information from or about you, mandatory retention periods provided by law, and the statute of limitations.

We may rectify, replenish or remove incomplete or inaccurate information at any time and at our own discretion.

In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use such information indefinitely without further notice to you.

10. NOTICE OF CHANGES

We will continue to evaluate this Privacy Policy against new technologies, business practices and our users’ needs, and may make changes to the Privacy Policy accordingly. Please check this page periodically for updates. You acknowledge that your continued use of our Products after the posting of any changes to this Privacy Policy means that you agree to be bound by such change.

11. NOTE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

This section provides details about rights afforded to California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act (or “CCPA”), and supplemental details about the personal information we collect about California residents.

In the last 12 months, we collected the following categories of personal information: identifiers (such as name, contact information and device identifiers); internet or other network activity information (such as browsing behavior and other usage data); location data; inferences (such as purchasing preferences); demographic data (such as age); electronic, visual, or similar information (such as customer support call information); professional or employment-related information (such as in resumes you provide); and other personal information (such as product feedback or payment method information). For more details about the personal information we collect, including the categories of sources, please see the section THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT OUR USERS above. We collect this information for the business and commercial purposes described in the HOW WE USE THE DATA WE COLLECT section above. We share this information with the categories of third parties described in the DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA section above.

Subject to certain limitations, the CCPA provides California residents the right to request to access to details about the categories or specific pieces of personal information we have collected in the last 12 months (including information we disclosed for a business purpose), to request to delete their personal information, to opt out of any electronic communications that may occur, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

We may use third-party cookies and related technologies to send targeted ads and this may be deemed a “sale” under the CCPA. To opt out of these “sales,” contact support@lottery.com.

California residents may make “request to access” or deletion requests by emailing us at support@lottery.com. We will verify your request by asking you to provide information that matches the information we have on file about you. You can also designate an authorized agent to exercise these rights on your behalf, but we will require proof that the person is authorized to act on your behalf and may also still ask you to verify your identity with us directly.

Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best and most secure services, product, and experience.

Performance of Contract means processing your information when necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

Comply with a legal or regulatory obligation means processing your personal data when we are obligated to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
