Although the website contain links to third-party sites, you should be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of those or any other third-party sites. Our business partners may also have their own privacy and security policies. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the policies provided by these other parties prior to providing them with information or taking advantage of Lottotech sponsored offer or promotion.  If you have questions about how those sites collect, use, and share data, then you should carefully read their privacy policies.

This privacy policy was amended on 26 January 2023, and is effective as of that date.

Information Collection and Use

There are two types of information that we obtain from you, and then store and use:

We do not collect any personal information from you when you visit our site or our authorized features and apps, unless you expressly and voluntarily participate in an activity that asks for it and you voluntarily provide it.  To put it another way, FOR US TO HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, YOU HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE TO KNOWINGLY GIVE IT TO US.

Nothing Personal: Automatically Collected Information

When you visit or use our services or interact with us, basic information is passively collected through various means, including through your web browser via use of tracking technologies such as “cookies”, “web beacons,” “clear gifs,” and the like, that utilize, among other means, simple text files sent from our servers to your device. The information we collect through these means is not personal information and does not individually identify you. It includes things like:

We use a third-party operated and controlled web analytics tool called Google Analytics to collect non-personal information about your use of and interaction with our site. This tool provides information such as how often users visit our site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve our site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our site is governed by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser.

Uses of Information

We use voluntarily provided personal information, for example, to answer questions or respond to requests; to conduct promotions; to send news and marketing messages; to comply with our legal obligations; and for any other lawful purposes.  We do not sell or rent your personal information.  

We use non-personal information to administer and improve our site, and to make business decisions about what content our players and Retailers might like.

Now it’s Personal: Voluntarily Submitted Information

If you participate in certain activities through our website, then you may need to provide us with information about yourself. For example, if you choose to send us an e-mail, enter a promotion, fill out an on-line form (such as a request to have customer service speak to you, or a request for more information about becoming a retailer), or participate in a player survey or fill in job application form, then you are voluntarily providing personal information to us. In doing so, you are giving us your consent to collect, retain, use, and disclose that information in the ways we describe in this policy.

We may use voluntarily provided personal information (such as e-mail addresses, the content of e-mail, text messages, and phone numbers) to communicate directly with you on a one-to-one basis; to operate a promotion, giveaway, and to contact the winners; to verify information, such as age eligibility; to customize our promotional and giveaway pages with more relevant news and information; for our internal marketing and product development purposes; and for any other lawful purpose.

We may also use personal information as otherwise described to you at the point of collection, pursuant to your consent. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information with third parties. If you don’t want us to collect your personal information, then don’t provide it! This means you shouldn’t participate in the activities offered through our website that request or require it. Participation is strictly your choice.  Not participating may limit your ability to take full advantage of the website, but it will not affect your ability to access important information.

Your Privacy Choices

You do not have to provide personal information to enjoy most of the contents/features of our sites. You also can opt-out of certain activities like newsletters and announcements by sending us an opt-out e-mail.

A Choice you can make: Opt Out


If we are using personal information you provided to receive materials from us, such as newsletters, promotions, and program announcements, via text or e-mail, and you decide you don’t want to receive such materials, then you may opt out by sending an e-mail to us with your name, e-mail address, and/or mobile phone number (as applicable) to [email protected]. When we receive your request, we will take reasonable steps to remove your name from our distribution lists. This information remains part of our records and may be available even after you opt out.

Please understand that communications may not stop immediately.  Additionally, if you continue to separately submit forms to us or take surveys after you opt out, then you will be voluntarily submitting your personal information through those separate means.

Things Happen: We do what we can to ensure Information Security

We will take all reasonable security precautions to protect your personal information provided through our services.
