This Privacy Policy describes how Lottery Valley (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards personal information when you visit our website at https://www.lotteryvalley.com (the “Site”) or use our services (collectively, the “Service”). The Service provides informational tools for lottery enthusiasts, including historical results lookup, data analysis, number trends, generators, and other free features. We do not sell lottery tickets, process payments for gambling, or guarantee any outcomes.
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following categories:
a. Information You Provide Directly
- Email address (when you subscribe to our newsletter or create an account for member features, if applicable).
- Any other information you voluntarily submit, such as inquiries sent to support.
b. Automatically Collected Information (Usage and Device Data)
- Pages visited, time spent, links clicked, and features used.
- Device and technical details: IP address, browser type/version, operating system, device type/model, referring/exit pages, and approximate location derived from IP.
- Interaction data collected via analytics and tracking tools.
c. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We and our third-party partners use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies for functionality, analytics, and advertising. See Section 9 for details.
We do not collect sensitive personal information (e.g., financial details, precise geolocation beyond IP-derived estimates, or health data) unless voluntarily provided in limited contexts.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Service (e.g., personalize content where possible).
- Analyze usage trends and performance to enhance user experience.
- Communicate with you (e.g., respond to inquiries, send newsletters if subscribed).
- Deliver relevant marketing communications (only with your consent/opt-in).
- Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security issues, or technical problems.
- Comply with legal obligations, enforce our Terms of Service, or protect our rights.
3. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK Users — GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, our processing is based on:
- Consent — for non-essential cookies, marketing emails, and certain analytics.
- Performance of a contract — to deliver the Service you access.
- Legitimate interests — for essential functionality, security, analytics (where minimally intrusive), and service improvement.
- Legal obligations — to comply with laws (e.g., responding to valid requests).
You may withdraw consent at any time, though this may limit certain features.
4. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information with:
- Service providers and processors (e.g., analytics providers like PostHog, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity; advertising partners like Meta/Facebook Pixel; email service providers) who are contractually required to protect data and use it only for our authorized purposes.
- Legal authorities, courts, or regulators when required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights/safety.
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with notice where required).
Affiliate links (e.g., to Jackpot.com) may involve referral tracking cookies placed by the partner when clicked. We do not share your personal data directly with affiliates; they operate under their own policies once you visit their site.
5. Third-Party Analytics and Advertising Tools
We use:
- PostHog — for product analytics and user behavior insights.
- Google Analytics — for aggregated traffic and usage analysis.
- Facebook Pixel — for ad campaign measurement and retargeting (with consent).
- Microsoft Clarity — for heatmaps, session replays, and behavioral insights (data pseudonymized/anonymized where possible).
These tools may collect and process data under their own policies (linked in the original document). We require opt-in consent for non-essential tracking.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements.
- Newsletter/email data: retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
- Analytics data: typically aggregated/anonymized and retained for 14–26 months (depending on tool settings).
- Account data (if any): retained until deletion request or account termination.
Afterwards, data is deleted or anonymized unless longer retention is required by law.
7. Your Rights and Choices
Your rights vary by location:
EEA/UK/Switzerland (GDPR/UK GDPR): Right to access, correct, delete, restrict processing, object, data portability, and withdraw consent.
California (CCPA/CPRA): Right to know categories/collected data, request deletion, opt-out of sale/sharing (we do not sell or share for cross-context behavioral advertising beyond standard analytics), and non-discrimination.
Other jurisdictions: Similar rights may apply under local laws (e.g., Virginia CDPA, Colorado CPA).
To exercise rights, email hello@lotteryvalley.com. We may verify identity before responding (usually within 45 days; up to 90 if complex). We respond free of charge unless requests are manifestly unfounded/excessive.
You can also:
- Manage cookie/tracking preferences via our cookie banner or browser settings.
- Unsubscribe from emails via the link provided or by contacting us.
- Opt out of targeted advertising via industry tools (e.g., YourAdChoices, Network Advertising Initiative).
8. Security
We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no internet transmission or storage method is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use necessary cookies for core functionality and non-essential cookies (analytics, advertising) only with consent. Our cookie banner lets you accept/reject categories. You can also manage preferences in your browser. For details, see our separate Cookie Policy (if implemented) or contact us.
10. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn we have, we will delete it promptly. Contact us if you believe a child has provided data.
11. International Data Transfers
If you are outside the U.S., information may be transferred to and processed in the United States (or other countries where our providers operate). We use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses for EEA/UK transfers) to protect cross-border data flows.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Policy to reflect changes in practices, technology, or law. We will post the revised version with an updated “Last Updated” date. For material changes, we will provide notice (e.g., email or prominent Site notice) where required.
