The Information We Collect
We only collect the minimum information we need to provide you a seamless browsing and review experience, and to identify our audience’s preferences.
- Information Provided Directly: If you send us an email or use a contact form, we will receive the information you provide us such as your name and email address.
- Automatically Collected Device and Usage Information: When you visit sweepstakes.io, we automatically collect information such as your IP address, general geographic location (e.g., state or country), browser type and device type, operating system, which pages you visit, the links you click on, and how long you spend on our pages.
- Cookies: When you visit our website, we may place cookies on your computer. Cookies help us by optimizing your experience and remembering your preferences. We also use cookies to attribute affiliate sales.
How We Use Your Information
We use information we collect from you only for lawful and transparent purposes. These purposes include to:
- Operate, maintain, and provide you with our Site.
- Monitor site traffic and user behavior to improve our content and make it more engaging and relevant.
- Confirm that our site meets regional sweepstakes laws according to where our users are located (i.e., displaying your state’s eligibility).
- Monitor our affiliate links that you click when you decide to play at a reviewed sweepstakes casino.
- Respond to any questions or comments you may have.
- Help keep our Site safe and secure.
Sharing Your Information
We don’t sell your personal information. We only share information when we have to, and only in these circumstances:
- Service Providers: We may disclose your information to third-party service providers who help us with site maintenance and operations. This includes providers of web hosting services, analytics, and our email service provider. All providers are contractually required to keep your information confidential.
- Legal Requirements: We may share your information if required to do so by law.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets of sweepstakes.io, your digital data may be transferred as part of that deal.
Digital Advertising, Analytics, and Affiliate Links
As a comparison and review site, we use various tools to continue our operations:
- Analytics (Google Analytics): We use services like Google Analytics so we can see how our visitors use the site. This data is all anonymized and aggregated; it never identifies you directly. You can read more about how Google uses your data in its Privacy Policy. You can also opt-out using Google’s Opt- out Browser Add-on.
- Affiliate Tracking: sweepstakes.io may display affiliate links. If you click a link and visit a partner site to register, that site will get a cookie placed on your computer telling it you visited our site first. No personal information is sent to us.
- Interest-Based Advertising: We and our advertising partners may use cookies to show you ads on other websites that are relevant to you.
Links To and From Third Parties
sweepstakes.io may contain links to other sweepstakes casinos. Sweepstakes io has no ownership or control over these sites. When you leave our Site, you are entering a site governed by its own terms of service and privacy policies. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any and all sweepstakes casinos you visit or register with to learn how they may use your information.
Information Security
Your information is important to us. We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your information. While we work to use strong security measures to protect your information from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted over the internet or stored electronically.
US States Privacy Rights
If you are a resident of certain US states, you may have specific rights under privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”). Because sweepstakes.io only really works with cookies and does not collect any financial or personally identifiable information to create individual profiles, we believe most of our collection is considered “standard web cookies.” However, you still have the right to:
- Know what cookie information we have collected about you during your visit.
- Delete any personally identifiable information you have provided to us (i.e., if you emailed us.)
- Reject the “sale or sharing” of personal information or targeted ads. Most of this is managed through your browser’s cookie settings.
To make any of these requests, please contact us below.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
From time to time, we may change our Privacy Policy. Any updates will be posted on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose it.
