Lottery Extreme is committed to protecting the privacy of your information and will only share your personal data in strictly limited circumstances consistent with this Policy and South African data protection laws. We may share information with vetted service providers or partners who help us operate, maintain, and improve our website, such as hosting providers, analytics platforms, or contest sponsors operating under confidentiality agreements. In certain situations, your information may be disclosed to authorities or regulatory agencies to fulfill legal obligations, comply with judicial procedures, or respond to lawful requests by government authorities, including law enforcement. If Lottery Extreme becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, relevant user information may be transferred as part of that process, provided that the recipient maintains equivalent data protection standards. In all other cases, we prevent unauthorized sharing and maintain contractually mandated privacy safeguards with all third-party recipients. Sensitive information is disclosed only when explicitly required and only to entities subject to proper data protections. Aggregate or anonymized data, which cannot be used to identify specific individuals, may be disclosed for analytical, statistical, or research purposes. We do not permit third-party advertisers direct access to personally identifiable information, unless expressly authorized by the user. Every data sharing instance is recorded as part of our compliance measures, with records securely retained for auditing purposes. Cross-border data transfers, if necessary, are strictly regulated and only occur under lawful, secure frameworks and with appropriate safeguards. We adhere to all obligations under POPIA and related international privacy frameworks regarding such disclosures. Automated decision-making processes, if applied, are openly explained to affected users, and users retain the right to contest any significant consequence of such decisions involving their personal data. No data is transferred to jurisdictions lacking adequate data protection without first obtaining requisite permissions and implementing approved safety mechanisms.
At Lottery Extreme, we employ a comprehensive suite of technical and organizational measures to secure personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our website employs industry-standard encryption protocols such as SSL/TLS to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers. Secure firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular security audits guard against external threats. Access to personal information is strictly limited to authorized personnel who are bound by confidentiality agreements and are regularly trained in data protection regulations and cybersecurity best practices. Secure password policies and robust user authentication mechanisms add further layers of security to user data. Physical data storage locations are protected by enterprise-grade access control, surveillance, and backup facilities, with routine testing conducted to ensure their integrity. All data processing activities are logged, monitored, and reviewed for compliance with our internal security policies and external regulatory requirements. User information is stored only for as long as is necessary to achieve the specific purposes detailed in this policy, after which it is securely deleted or anonymized. Sensitive personal data is processed with heightened security controls and only over secure channels. In the event of a data breach, Lottery Extreme has established a dedicated incident response team to manage notification processes, provide guidance to affected individuals, and comply with all notification requirements as provided by South African law. Users are encouraged to adopt prudent security habits, such as choosing strong passwords, regularly updating credentials, and not disclosing access details to others. Our security framework undergoes periodic updates in light of emerging threats and evolving industry standards. We ensure that any service providers or partners entrusted with processing your data uphold similar standards of security through robust contractual obligations.
Users of Lottery Extreme are granted a comprehensive suite of rights regarding their personal information, as protected by the POPIA and related legislation. These rights enable you to access, update, correct, or delete your personal information held by us, subject to certain legal and operational exceptions. You may submit a formal request to view your data records, challenge the accuracy of stored information, or request rectification where necessary. The right to withdraw consent at any time is respected, though such withdrawal may affect continued access to certain features or services provided by the website. Users retain the right to object to or restrict certain types of data processing, except where such processing is essential to the operation of our website or required by law. Additionally, individuals may request that their data be transferred to another controller or service, where feasible and technically possible. Communications regarding promotional materials can be managed through straightforward unsubscribe mechanisms in every message, allowing for fine-tuned control over contact preferences. In the event that an individual believes their privacy rights have been infringed, our Data Protection Representative may be contacted for investigation and resolution. All requests will be handled diligently, with confirmation of receipt and clear explanations provided for any delay or refusal, in accordance with the law. Complaints may also be escalated to the Information Regulator of South Africa should resolution at the company level be unsatisfactory. No fee is charged for the exercise of these rights, unless requests are manifestly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive, in which case a reasonable charge may be levied. Ongoing transparency about the exercise of these choices is a foundational value at Lottery Extreme.

While most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default, users retain the autonomy to adjust their browser settings to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, blocking or deleting cookies may impact the functionality and performance of certain features of the site. Some cookies are essential for delivering requested services, while others assist in compiling aggregate statistical reports.

Detailed information about the categories, duration, and purposes of cookies used is made available to users and is reviewed in response to evolving legal standards and best practices.

Lottery Extreme takes the privacy protection of minors and children very seriously. The website is intended solely for use by persons aged 18 years or older, and we do not knowingly collect, solicit, or process personal information from individuals under the age of 18. Should it come to our attention that personal information belonging to a minor has been inadvertently collected, all reasonable steps will be taken to delete such information and prevent its further processing. Any representative or guardian who becomes aware that a minor in their care has provided information to our website is asked to notify us without delay so that appropriate action may be taken. We encourage parents and guardians to actively monitor and supervise their children’s online activity and guide them in responsible usage of internet services. Strict filters, access management tools, and monitoring systems are in place to identify, prevent, and report attempts by minors to access services that are inappropriate for their age group. All content, communications, and promotional offers fall within the regulatory guidelines established to counter exposure by underage individuals. Where required by law, Lottery Extreme cooperates with regulatory authorities to ensure compliance with child online protection initiatives. Continuing to use this website signifies acknowledgment and acceptance of these stipulations, and adults using the site on behalf of minors assume responsibility in ensuring adherence to this policy. Education and awareness initiatives are regularly updated to address emerging risks faced by minors in the digital environment.
Lottery Extreme adheres to a responsible data retention policy designed to protect the privacy and interests of users, as well as to comply with statutory reporting and record-keeping requirements set forth under South African law. Personal information is retained only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the specific purposes for which it was collected, including the delivery of lottery results, user support, and satisfaction of any applicable legal, regulatory, or business requirements. After the retention period has lapsed, your data will be securely deleted, anonymized, or destructed in a manner that ensures complete and irretrievable removal. If you choose to delete your account or withdraw consent, your personal information is promptly removed from our active systems, though residual information may persist in backup copies for a limited period in accordance with operational best practices and legal standards. In cases where the retention of data is mandated by statutory obligations—such as fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal proceedings, or tax compliance—we will hold such data for the periods required by law. Anonymized information collected for research, analytics, or statistical purposes may be retained indefinitely, as it cannot be re-associated with individual users. Our record-keeping protocols are periodically reviewed and updated to ensure alignment with prevailing laws and industry standards. Any modifications to retention policies are communicated to users by timely updates to this Privacy Policy.
For all questions, suggestions, requests to exercise rights, or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy and our data processing practices, users are encouraged to contact the data protection officer directly. The owner and data protection officer for Lottery Extreme is Jasper Langley, who can be reached via email at [email protected]. Written correspondence may also be directed to Jasper Langley, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, Chamberlain Square, Birmingham B3 3DH, United Kingdom. All communications will be promptly acknowledged and responded to in compliance with applicable legal timeframes and privacy requirements.

Your feedback is highly valued as it supports ongoing improvements to our privacy and security practices.
