We, the Health Care Foundation, are committed to respecting the privacy of individuals who visit and use the Home Lottery website. This statement informs you how your personal information is collected and used in connection with the site, the purpose for which it is collected and used, with whom the information will be shared, how long your information will remain stored, and what security measures are in place to protect your information.
Collection and Use
If you have supported the Home Lottery in the past, we thank you for your support. For previous supporters, we have the contact information we collected from you at the time you last purchased a ticket. The database of buyer information was compiled from our previous purchase records, both on and offline, and contains no financial information.
We do not automatically gather any additional personal information from you when you visit the site. Personal and financial information is collected only if you supply it voluntarily during the process of ordering a ticket.
We do not use tracking cookies of any kind on this site. We use software that receives and records the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer that has contacted the web site. This information is only linked to the personal information that you provide at the time of a ticket order for the purposes of fraud prevention. Otherwise, IP addresses are not linked to the identity of individuals visiting the site. A simple counter is used to measure the overall effectiveness of an email campaign. Similarly, links from banner advertisements are counted to measure effectiveness of the ad placement, but not linked to any personal information or IP address information in any way.
The email address that you may voluntarily supply in the process of requesting a ticket will be used for emailing notification of future such lottery events. You will have the option to not receive such email notifications by way of a check box on the order form or by phoning 1-866-992-1899. The cell phone number that you may voluntarily supply in the process of signing up for text alerts will be used for sending you text message notification of future such lottery events. You will have the option to cancel these text alerts by phoning 1-866-992-1899 or emailing [email protected].
Your mailing address is collected for two purposes: to send you your requested ticket(s) and to invite you to participate in future lottery events. You have the option not to receive direct mail pieces by way of a check box on the order form or by phoning 1-866-992-1899.
Personal information collected will be used to keep you informed of our charitable work, funding needs, and opportunities to volunteer or give. In addition, we will use this information to fulfill ticket orders, provide information on our future lotteries, contact prize winners and publicize the names of prize winners. By purchasing a ticket, you agree to allow the Health Care Foundation Home Lottery to use and publicly disclose your name, municipality of residence, image, photograph and likeness as a prize winner for purposes of administering and promoting the lottery.
Disclosure
Information you provide in your ticket request is shared with MNP LLP for the purposes of order fulfillment and draw control.
