Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use that information, and the choices available to you. We are committed to protecting the privacy of every visitor and handling personal data responsibly and transparently.

Information We Collect

We collect two categories of information: data you provide directly and data collected automatically through your use of the site.

When you interact with our website — for example, by submitting a contact form or subscribing to content updates — you may voluntarily provide information such as your name and email address. We only collect what is necessary to fulfill your request.

When you visit our pages, our servers and third-party analytics services automatically record certain technical data. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on each page, and the date and time of your visit. This data is collected in aggregate form and is used to understand how visitors interact with our content, identify technical issues, and improve site performance.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to provide core site functionality, remember your preferences, and collect anonymized usage statistics. For detailed information about the types of cookies we use, their purposes, and how to manage them, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes: to operate and maintain the website, to analyze aggregate traffic patterns and improve our content, to respond to inquiries or requests you submit directly to us, to detect and prevent technical problems or misuse of the site, and to comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not use your personal information to build individual user profiles for advertising purposes. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their marketing use.

Third-Party Services

Our website relies on a limited number of third-party services to function. These include hosting infrastructure providers, analytics platforms that process anonymized usage data, and content delivery networks that serve fonts and static assets. Each of these providers processes data in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable data protection regulations.

We use Google Fonts to deliver typography on our pages. When you load a page, your browser connects to Google servers to retrieve font files. Google’s handling of data transmitted during this process is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

Our site may contain links to external websites, including sweepstakes casino platforms, government resources, industry reports, and news publications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit through links on our pages.

Data Retention

We retain automatically collected technical data, such as server logs and analytics records, for a period of up to 26 months from the date of collection. After this period, the data is deleted or fully anonymized. If you have provided personal information through a direct submission, we retain it only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission via HTTPS, access controls for administrative systems, and regular review of our data handling procedures. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. These may include the right to access the personal information we hold about you, the right to request correction of inaccurate data, the right to request deletion of your data, the right to object to or restrict certain types of processing, and the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Residents of California may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA.

Residents of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland may exercise rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legal basis for our processing of personal data is legitimate interest (site operation and improvement) and, where applicable, your consent.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a person under 18, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
