How We Use Your Information

We may use personal information to:

Lawful Bases for Processing

Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for using your personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may process your information because:

• Contract: Processing is necessary to provide the services you have requested, such as managing your account, processing an entry and administering a competition.

• Legal obligation: We need to process or retain certain information to comply with applicable legal, tax, accounting or other obligations.

• Legitimate interests: We have a legitimate business reason for processing information, such as maintaining the security of our website, preventing fraud, handling disputes, improving our services and maintaining appropriate business records, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.

• Consent: Where consent is the appropriate lawful basis, such as for certain marketing or optional cookies, you may withdraw that consent.

Payments

Payments made through 6 For Gold may be processed by third-party payment service providers.

The payment provider may collect and process information required to authorise and complete your payment in accordance with its own privacy policy.

We may receive transaction information from payment providers, such as confirmation that a payment has been completed, transaction references, amounts, refunds or payment dispute information.

Shopify

Our online store is operated using Shopify. Shopify may process personal information in connection with providing the ecommerce technology and services used to operate our website.

Shopify has its own privacy and data-protection practices governing its processing of personal information.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information where reasonably necessary with service providers that help us operate 6 For Gold, including:

• Website and ecommerce providers.

• Payment processors and banking providers.

• Hosting, IT and technical service providers.

• Email and communications providers.

• Delivery or fulfilment providers where a physical prize needs to be delivered.

• Professional advisers where required.

• Fraud prevention or security providers.

• Government, regulatory, law-enforcement or other authorities where disclosure is legally required.

We only share information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Competition Winners

Where you win a competition, we may contact you using the details associated with your account or entry.

Winner information may also be published where this is necessary for the transparent administration and promotion of our competitions and as described in our Terms and Conditions.

We will take reasonable care not to publish unnecessary personal information.

Marketing

Where permitted, we may use your contact information to send you information about 6 For Gold competitions, promotions and related services.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided in the communication or by contacting us.

Stopping marketing communications does not prevent us from contacting you where necessary in relation to an order, competition entry, prize, account, payment or other service-related matter.

Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the site and support analytics and marketing.

Where required, we will ask for consent before placing non-essential cookies.

You can also manage cookies through your browser and any cookie controls made available on our website.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to administer competitions, maintain transaction and winner records, respond to disputes and comply with legal, tax, accounting and other applicable requirements.

Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it.

International Data Transfers

Some of the service providers used to operate our website and services may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is made in accordance with applicable UK data-protection requirements and that appropriate safeguards are used where required.

Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you.

• Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.

• Request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances.

• Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances.

• Object to certain processing.

• Request transfer of certain information where the right to data portability applies.

• Withdraw consent where processing is based on your consent.

These rights are not absolute and may depend upon the circumstances and our lawful basis for processing.

You also have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests and to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or misuse.

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

Age Restriction

6 For Gold is intended for persons aged 18 or over.

Our services are not intended for children, and persons under 18 must not create an account or enter our competitions.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, technology, service providers or legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on this page with the date it was last updated.
