1. About This Privacy Policy

Dear Lottery Sambad publishes lottery-related information, result updates, draw schedules, result-checking guidance, and related editorial content. This policy describes our privacy practices for information handled through this website, including information you may choose to send to us through a contact form, email, subscription form, or other available feature.

This policy applies to this website and its pages. It does not automatically apply to external websites, official lottery portals, advertising platforms, or other services linked from our pages. Those services operate under their own privacy policies and terms.

2. Information We May Collect

The information collected depends on how you use the website and which features are enabled. We do not ask visitors to create an account merely to read publicly available pages unless a particular feature clearly states otherwise.

2.1 Information you provide directly

If you contact us, submit a form, or subscribe to updates, you may provide information such as your name, email address, message, and any other details you choose to include. Please do not send passwords, payment-card details, government identification numbers, or other sensitive personal information through general contact forms.

2.2 Technical and usage information

When you visit the website, our hosting provider or technical systems may process information commonly included in web requests, such as IP address, browser type, device and operating-system details, referring page, pages requested, approximate visit time, and basic diagnostic or security logs. This information may be used to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.

2.3 Cookies and similar technologies

The website or services used on it may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies to remember preferences, support essential functions, understand site usage, measure performance, or deliver and measure advertisements. The technologies actually used depend on the website configuration and third-party services enabled at the time of your visit.

2.4 Information from third-party services

If analytics, advertising, anti-spam, embedded content, or other third-party tools are enabled, those providers may collect information through their own technologies when you use the relevant page or feature. We do not control all information collected directly by those providers. Please consult their respective privacy notices for details.

3. How We May Use Information

Information may be used, as appropriate, to:

• operate, display, maintain, and improve the website and its content;
• publish and update lottery-related information and help visitors navigate result pages;
• respond to messages, questions, feedback, corrections, or requests;
• send updates or newsletters if you have subscribed and the feature is active;
• understand aggregate traffic patterns, page performance, and user experience;
• detect spam, fraud, misuse, unauthorised access, or technical problems;
• protect the rights, safety, and security of the website, visitors, and others;
• comply with applicable legal obligations or respond to valid legal requests; and
• administer advertising or measure advertising performance where advertising services are enabled.

We do not use contact details for unrelated promotional email campaigns unless you have consented where required by law or another lawful basis applies.

4. Legal Basis and Consent

Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing personal information, we will rely on an appropriate basis, which may include your consent, responding to a request you make, operating and securing the website, complying with legal obligations, or another lawful basis available under applicable law. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent, subject to legal and technical limitations, by using the available unsubscribe or preference controls or contacting us.

5. Email Updates and Subscriptions

If an email subscription feature is available and you choose to subscribe, we may use your email address to send the updates you requested. Subscription is optional. You can unsubscribe using the link included in an email where provided, or contact us to request removal. We may retain a limited record of a subscription or unsubscribe request to respect your preferences and maintain compliance.

We will not describe a subscription feature as active unless it is actually available on the website. Delivery, frequency, and content of updates may change, and messages may occasionally be delayed or fail due to technical or email-provider issues.

6. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

6.1 Cookies

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect how some website features work. If a cookie-consent tool is provided, you can use it to manage the choices it offers.

6.2 Analytics

We may use website analytics tools, if configured, to understand general usage such as page views, traffic sources, and technical performance. Analytics information may be processed by the relevant provider under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not promise that a particular analytics provider is in use unless the website’s current configuration confirms it.

6.3 Advertising

Advertisements may be displayed by third-party advertising partners if advertising is enabled. These partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show, limit, personalise, or measure advertisements, subject to their settings and applicable law. We do not control the data practices of independent advertising partners. You should review the relevant provider’s privacy and advertising controls for more information.

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money as a stated practice of this website. If applicable law defines certain advertising-related disclosures or data sharing as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising, the relevant legal rights and controls will apply to the extent required.

7. When We May Share Information

We do not disclose personal information indiscriminately. Information may be shared in limited circumstances, including:

• Service providers: hosting, website maintenance, security, email delivery, analytics, anti-spam, or other providers that help operate the website;
• Advertising and measurement partners: where advertising or measurement tools are enabled;
• Legal and safety reasons: when disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, a valid legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security;
• Business or website changes: if ownership or operation of the website changes, subject to appropriate safeguards and applicable law; or
• With your direction: when you ask us to share information or otherwise provide permission.

Service providers should process information only as needed to perform their services, subject to their applicable arrangements and legal obligations.

8. External Links and Official Lottery Websites

Our pages may link to official lottery result portals, government websites, news sources, social media platforms, or other third-party websites for reference and convenience. Opening an external link takes you to a service governed by that service’s own privacy practices. We cannot control or guarantee how an external website collects, uses, or protects information. Review its privacy policy before submitting information or using its services.

Dear Lottery Sambad is an independent information website and is not a government website or an official lottery authority unless a page expressly and verifiably states otherwise. Visitors should verify results and rules with the relevant official source. We do not ask visitors to provide lottery ticket details, bank details, OTPs, or payment information to view ordinary result information.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable steps appropriate to the nature of the website to protect information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures may include access controls, security updates, and technical safeguards provided by our hosting or service providers. However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please use caution when sending information online.

10. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to requests, maintaining subscription preferences, securing the website, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations. Technical logs may be retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting. Retention periods can vary depending on the type of information, the feature involved, and applicable legal requirements.

11. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or information about the processing of your personal information, or to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You may also be able to object to or restrict certain processing. These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions.

You can manage cookies through your browser, unsubscribe from email updates where available, and contact us regarding information you submitted directly. To protect your privacy, we may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

12. Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to collect personal information from children. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can review the request and take appropriate steps where required.

Lottery participation is subject to the laws and age restrictions that apply in the relevant jurisdiction. Information published on this website is for reference and does not encourage anyone who is legally ineligible to participate in a lottery.

13. International Visitors and Data Processing

Visitors may access this website from different locations. Depending on the hosting provider and services used, information may be processed or stored in a country other than the one in which you live. Where required, appropriate safeguards will be applied to such processing in accordance with applicable law.

14. Do Not Track and Browser Preferences

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signals. There is no single industry-wide interpretation for all such signals. Unless the website provides a specific control or notice, we may not respond to every browser signal in the same way. You can still use your browser settings and any available cookie or advertising controls to manage your preferences.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, its features, service providers, or legal requirements change. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the website after an update means you have had an opportunity to review the revised policy; where consent is legally required, we will seek it as required by law.
