Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At Lottoge ("we," "us," or "our"), your privacy is our priority. We operate a platform for cryptocurrency raffles and direct cryptocurrency purchases without requiring Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, meaning we do not collect or store personally identifiable information such as your name, address, or government-issued identification. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information related to your use of our website and services (collectively, the "Service"), emphasizing our commitment to anonymity and data protection.

By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. We may update this policy at any time, and changes will be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. Please review this Privacy Policy periodically.

2. Information We Collect

Lottoge is designed to maximize user privacy. We do not require or collect personal identification information. However, certain minimal, non-identifiable data may be processed as part of providing the Service:

Wallet Addresses: When you connect a cryptocurrency wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Phantom) to participate in raffles or receive purchased cryptocurrency, we temporarily process your public wallet address. This is necessary to facilitate transactions and prize distribution but does not reveal your identity.
Transaction Data: We record blockchain transaction details (e.g., transaction hashes, ticket purchases, prize distributions) as they occur on public blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana. This data is inherently public and not linked to your personal identity.
Usage Data: We may collect anonymized information about how you interact with our Service, such as pages visited, time spent, and IP addresses (in a truncated or anonymized form). This data is used solely for analytics and improving the Service and cannot be used to identify you.
Payment Information: For cryptocurrency purchases via credit or debit card, our third-party payment processors collect payment details (e.g., card number, billing information). We do not access, store, or process this information directly—only the processor does, and it is not linked to your wallet address or shared with us.

We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., by contacting support), in which case it is handled as described below.

3. How We Use Information

The limited data we process is used exclusively to operate and improve the Service:

To process raffle ticket purchases and distribute cryptocurrency prizes to your wallet address.
To facilitate cryptocurrency purchases and ensure delivery to your specified wallet address.
To monitor and analyze Service usage for performance optimization and security purposes, using anonymized data only.
To comply with applicable laws or respond to legal requests, though our lack of personal data limits such obligations.

We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or any purpose beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the Service.

4. How We Share Information

Given our no-KYC approach, we have minimal data to share. However, certain circumstances may involve limited data sharing:

Blockchain Transactions: All raffle purchases and prize distributions are recorded on public blockchains, making wallet addresses and transaction details publicly visible. This is inherent to blockchain technology and not within our control.
Third-Party Processors: For cryptocurrency purchases via card, our payment processors handle payment data. We do not receive this information, and processors are contractually obligated to protect it under their own privacy policies.
Service Providers: We may use third-party services (e.g., analytics providers, hosting services) that process anonymized data on our behalf. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and cannot use the data to identify you.
Legal Compliance: We may disclose data if required by law, court order, or governmental authority. However, since we do not collect personal identifiable information, such disclosures are limited to anonymized or blockchain data.

We do not sell, trade, or rent any user data to third parties for marketing or any other purpose.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the limited data we process, including encryption for data in transit and secure server infrastructure. However, since most interactions occur via blockchain, your primary security responsibility lies in safeguarding your wallet and private keys. We do not have access to or custody of your funds or private keys and cannot recover them if lost.

While we strive to protect our systems, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We are not liable for breaches beyond our reasonable control, such as hacks of your wallet or blockchain networks.

6. Data Retention

We retain data only as long as necessary to provide the Service or comply with legal obligations:

Wallet addresses and transaction data are stored temporarily during raffle participation or crypto purchases and are deleted after completion, except as recorded on public blockchains.
Anonymized usage data may be retained indefinitely for analytics purposes but cannot be linked to you.
Voluntarily provided information (e.g., support inquiries) is deleted after resolution unless required for legal purposes.

Blockchain data, by its nature, is permanent and beyond our control to delete.

7. Your Rights

Since we do not collect personally identifiable information, traditional privacy rights (e.g., access, correction, deletion) have limited applicability. However:

You may contact us to inquire about any data we might have processed related to your wallet address.
You may request deletion of any voluntarily provided information (e.g., support emails), which we will honor unless legally required to retain it.
You have full control over your wallet and can disconnect it from our Service at any time.

For blockchain-recorded data, no deletion is possible due to the immutable nature of the technology.

8. Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal cookies and tracking technologies:

Essential Cookies: Required for basic site functionality (e.g., session management) and do not track personal information.
Analytics Cookies: Optional, anonymized cookies may be used to understand site usage (e.g., via Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled). These do not identify you individually.

You can disable cookies via your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.

9. Third-Party Links

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., blockchain explorers, payment processors). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before interacting with them.

10. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we become aware that a child under 18 has used the Service, we will take steps to terminate their access and delete any related data within our control.

11. International Users

Lottoge operates globally and is hosted in the United States. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of any data (e.g., anonymized usage data) to the United States, subject to our privacy practices. You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with local laws, including data protection regulations in your jurisdiction.
