Information collected automatically:

• Cookies: Our website uses cookies to support core functionality, including your shopping cart, logged-in session, and membership access status. Some cookies are set by third-party services used on our site. You can control cookie settings through your browser, but disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website.
• Technical data: We may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit. This information is used to maintain and improve the website.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information we collect to:

• Process and manage your membership subscription;
• Administer giveaway entries and notify winners;
• Respond to your contact form enquiries;
• Send you important notices about your membership, account, or giveaway results;
• Maintain the security and proper functioning of our website;
• Comply with our legal obligations, including our lottery licence requirements under the Lotteries and Art Unions Act 1901 (NSW).

We will not use your personal information for purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy without your consent, unless permitted or required by law.

4. Marketing Communications

If you are a member, we may send you information about our giveaways and promotions. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send you, or by contacting us directly at [email protected]. Please note that opting out of marketing emails will not remove you from operational communications related to your account or membership.

5. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website and delivering our services (for example, payment processors and email service providers). These providers are required to keep your information confidential and use it only for the services they provide to us.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose your information where required by law, regulation, or court order, including to comply with our obligations under lottery licensing regulations.
• Business transfers: In the unlikely event that Area 51 is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you if this occurs.

We will not otherwise disclose your personal information to external organisations without your consent.

6. Third-Party Content and Links

Our website may contain links to external websites, including our social media pages on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and X (formerly Twitter). These third-party services have their own privacy policies and we are not responsible for their content or practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external websites you visit.

Our website may also load resources from third-party providers such as Google Fonts and content delivery networks for stylesheets and scripts. These providers may set their own cookies or collect limited technical data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

7. Data Storage and Security

Your personal information is stored securely. We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference, loss, and from unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.

However, no method of data transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

8. Access to and Correction of Your Information

You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections if it is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. To make a request, please contact us at [email protected].

We will respond to your request within a reasonable time. In some cases, we may need to verify your identity before providing access to your information.

9. Retention of Data

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations (including lottery licence record-keeping requirements), resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When your information is no longer needed for these purposes, we will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

10. Children's Privacy

Our services are intended for Australian residents aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a minor, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
