Our address is: Lytchett House, 13 Freeland Park, Wareham Road, Poole, Dorset BH16 6FA.
In the context of the law and this notice, ‘personal data’ is information that clearly identifies you as an individual or which could be used to identify you if combined with other information. Acting in any way on personal data is referred to as ‘processing’.
This notice applies to personal data collected through our website and through social media platforms.
The information we process about you includes information:
When you create an account on our website or otherwise enter a game, we ask you to provide personal data. This can be categorised into the following groups:
If you continue to use our website, over time we collect:
If you win any prize draw we may also subsequently process documentation that confirms your identity, such as an image of your passport or driver’s licence.
We may confirm some of the information you provide to us directly using data from other sources in order to prevent fraud.
The additional information we collect can be categorised as follows:
By using our website, we process:
We may aggregate anonymous information such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Anonymous information is that which does not identify you as an individual. Aggregated information may be derived from your personal data but is not considered as such in law because it does not reveal your identity.
However, if we combine or connect aggregated information with your personal data so that it can identify you in any way, we treat the combined information as personal data, and it will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.
Where we need to collect personal data under our terms, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform our contract. If so, we shall tell you.
If a basis on which we process your personal data is no longer relevant then we shall immediately stop processing your data.
If the basis changes then if required by law we shall notify you of the change and of any new basis under which we have determined that we can continue to process your information.
When you create an account on our website, enter a game, or otherwise agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and us.
In order to carry out our obligations under that contract we must process the information you give us. Some of this information may be personal data.
We may use it in order to:
We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the terms of the contract.
Through certain actions when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between us, such as when you browse our website or ask us to provide more information about how a game works or our prizes, you provide your consent to us to process information that may be personal data.
If you are a winner of a prize draw, with your consent we publish your name and the county in which you live to demonstrate that a valid award took place.
Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information.
We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us through our website. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our website or our services further.
We aim to obtain and keep your consent to process your information. However, while we take your consent into account in decisions about whether or not to process your personal data, the withdrawal of your consent does not necessarily prevent us from continuing to process it. The law may allow us to continue to process your personal data, provided that there is another basis on which we may do so. For example, we may have a legal obligation to do so.
We may process information on the basis there is a legitimate interest, either to you or to us, of doing so.
Where we process your information on this basis, we do after having given careful consideration to:
For example, we may process your data on this basis for the purposes of:
Sometimes, we must process your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation.
For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request.
This may include your personal data.
Payment information is never taken by us or transferred to us either through our website or otherwise. Our employees and contractors never have access to it.
At the point of payment, you are transferred to a secure page on the website of our payment service provider. That page may be branded to look like a page on our website, but it is not controlled by us.
We may share your personal data with businesses that provide services to us, or with business partners. In most circumstances, we shall ask for your consent before doing so.
As an example, we may use fraud prevention agencies and credit reference agencies to verify your identity and we may pass your information to those agencies if we strongly suspect fraud on our website.
If requested, we may share some personal data with regulatory bodies, including the Advertising Standards Authority in order to show that valid awards for prize draws take place.
When you first visit our website, we ask you whether you wish us to use cookies. If you choose not to accept them, we shall not use them for your visit except to record that you have not consented to their use for any other purpose.
If you choose not to use cookies or you prevent their use through your browser settings, you may not be able to use all the functionality of our website.
We use cookies in the following ways:
Requests by your web browser to our servers for web pages and other content on our website are recorded.
We record information such as your geographical location, your Internet service provider and your IP address. We also record information about the software you are using to browse our website, such as the type of computer or device and the screen resolution.
We use this information in aggregate to assess the popularity of the webpages on our website and how we perform in providing content to you.
If combined with other information we know about you from previous visits and such information is reasonably unusual, the data possibly could be used to identify you personally, even if you are not signed in to our website.
Re-marketing involves placing a ‘tracking technology’ such as a cookie, a ‘web beacon’ (also known as an ‘action tag’ or a ‘single-pixel GIF’) to track which pages you visit and to serve you relevant adverts for our services when you visit some other website.
The benefit of re-marketing technology is that we can provide you with more useful and relevant adverts, and not show you ones repeatedly that you may have already seen.
We may use a third-party advertising service to provide us with re-marketing services from time to time. If you have consented to our use of such tracking technologies, you may see advertisements for our products and services on other websites.
We do not provide your personal data to advertisers or to third-party re-marketing service providers. However, if you are already a member of a website whose affiliated business provides such services, that affiliated business may learn of your preferences in relation to your use of our website.
The law requires us to tell you about your rights and our obligations to you in regard to the processing and control of your personal data.
We do this now, by requesting that you read the information provided at http://www.knowyourprivacyrights.org
We do not allow children to enter our promotions, nor do we market to children.
However, we collect data about all visitors to our website regardless of age, and we anticipate that some of those visitors may be children.
Our websites are hosted in the United Kingdom.
We may also use outsourced services in countries outside the UK from time to time in other aspects of our business.
For example, we may use services provided by Google, whose servers may be located in the United States of America.
Accordingly data obtained within the UK could be processed outside the UK.
If data may be transferred outside the UK, we ensure that the organisation that processes the data applies safeguards to the processing, and in particular, that the contracts between us and them require them to do so to the same standards as UK law requires.
It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and up to date. Please inform us if your personal data changes.
At any time, you may contact us to request that we provide you with the personal data we hold about you.
At any time you may review or update personally identifiable information that we hold about you, by signing in to your account on our website.
To obtain a copy of any information that is not provided on our website you should contact us to make that request.
When we receive any request to access, edit or delete personal data we first take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access or otherwise taking any action. This is important to safeguard your information.
Please be aware that we are not obliged by law to provide you with all personal data we hold about you, and that if we do provide you with information, the law allows us to charge for such provision if doing so incurs costs for us. After receiving your request, we will tell you when we expect to provide you with the information, and whether we require any fee for providing it to you.
You should also be aware that the law does not oblige us to delete your personal data or to stop processing it simply because you do not consent to us doing so. While having your consent is an important consideration as to whether to process it, if there is another legitimate basis on which we may process it, we may do so on that basis.
If you wish us to remove personally identifiable information from our website, you should contact us to make your request.
When you contact us, whether through our website, by social media or by email, we collect the data you have given to us in order to reply with the information you need.
We record your request and our reply in order to increase the efficiency of our business.
We may keep personally identifiable information associated with your message, such as your name and email address so as to be able to track our communications with you to provide a high quality service.
If you are not happy with our privacy policy, or if you have any complaint, then you should tell us.
When we receive a complaint, we record the information you have given to us on the basis of consent. We use that information to resolve your complaint.
If we think your complaint is vexatious or without any basis, we shall not correspond with you about it.
If your complaint reasonably requires us to notify some other person, we may decide to give to that other person some of the information contained in your complaint. We do this as infrequently as possible, but it is a matter for our sole discretion whether we do give information, and if we do, what that information is.
We may also compile statistics showing information obtained from this source to assess the level of service we provide, but not in a way that could identify you or any other person.
If a dispute is not settled then we hope you will agree to attempt to resolve it by engaging in good faith with us in a process of mediation or arbitration.
If you are in any way dissatisfied about how we process your personal data, you have a right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). This can be done at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/. We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to talk to you about your concern before you approach the ICO.
Except as otherwise mentioned in this privacy notice, we keep your personal data only for as long as required by us:
Our privacy policy complies with the law in the United Kingdom, specifically with the Data Protection Act 2018 accordingly incorporating the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003.
We shall update this privacy notice from time to time as necessary.
