Legal basis and purposes for processing
We process personal data on several legal bases, including your consent, our legitimate interests, and compliance with legal obligations. For example, we may rely on consent to send you marketing communications or to place non-essential cookies on your device. Our legitimate interests include operating and securing lottogouk.com, understanding how visitors use the site, developing and improving our services, and presenting relevant lottogo-related content and offers.

Data retention, sharing, and international transfers

If we transfer personal data outside the UK, we will take appropriate steps to ensure an adequate level of protection, such as using standard contractual clauses or relying on recognised adequacy decisions. We do not sell your personal data as an independent product to third parties.

Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe your data protection rights have been infringed. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve your concerns directly.
