This Privacy Policy explains who we are, how we collect, use, and share personal information about you when you use our website and services (collectively, the “Services“), and how you can exercise your privacy rights. This policy applies to all visitors, users, and others who access our Services. By using the Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please refrain from using our Services.

Information We Collect

We collect various types of information from you in order to provide and improve our Services. The types of data we collect include:

– Personal Data: Information that identifies you as an individual. This may include your name, username, email address, postal address, telephone number, date of birth, and other similar contact information. If you create an account or enter a competition, we may also collect profile details such as your display name or any profile photo you upload.

– Usage Data: Information about how you access and use our Services. This can include your IP address, browser type and version, pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, time spent on those pages, clickstream data, and other diagnostic data. Usage Data may also include information collected by cookies and similar tracking technologies (see the Cookies and Tracking Technologies section below for more details).

– Device Information: Details about the device and software you use to access the Services. This includes information such as your device type (e.g., desktop, smartphone, tablet), operating system and version, unique device identifiers, browser type, language preferences, and mobile network information.

– Financial Data: If you make purchases or payments through our Services (for example, paying an entry fee or buying related products), we (or our third-party payment processor) may collect payment information. This can include billing name and address, payment card details (cardholder name, card number, expiration date, CVV – though we typically receive only a tokenized or truncated version of your card number for security), bank account information, or transaction details. Note: LoopX Competitions itself does not store full payment card numbers; payments are processed securely by accredited third-party processors.

-Third-Party Data: Information we receive about you from other sources. For instance, if you choose to register or log in via a third-party platform (such as Google, Facebook, or another identity provider), we will receive certain profile information from that platform (like your name, email, or public profile) as permitted by your privacy settings on that platform. Additionally, if our competitions are sponsored or partnered with other organizations and you interact with those offerings, we might receive information from the sponsor (for example, confirmation that you are eligible or that you won a prize). We treat information from third parties with the same care as data you provide directly. We do not intentionally collect any sensitive personal data (such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health information, or genetic data) unless you voluntarily provide it and it is relevant to a specific service (and where we have appropriate safeguards in place). We also do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 (or applicable age of consent in your region) – our Services are intended for general audiences and not directed to children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child, please contact us so we can delete it.

How We Collect Your Data

We collect personal information from and about you in a variety of ways:

– Data You Provide Directly: You may give us your personal data when you:
– Register for an account on our website (e.g., providing identity and contact details).
– Enter a competition, contest, or promotion (e.g., submitting an entry, or filling out forms with your information).
– Complete a transaction or purchase through our Services (e.g., providing payment and billing information).
– Communicate with us via email, contact forms, or customer support (e.g., giving us your name and contact info and the content of your correspondence).
– Subscribe to our newsletters or marketing communications (e.g., providing an email address).
– Participate in surveys, user research, feedback forms, or community forums on our site.

-Data Collected Automatically: When you use our Services, we automatically collect certain data about your device and usage of the site:

– Usage and Device Data: As described above, we automatically log technical information like IP address, device type, browser type, pages viewed, and time spent, through server logs and other tools.

– Cookies & Similar Technologies: We use cookies, beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect Usage Data and to remember your preferences. For example, cookies help us keep you logged in, remember your site preferences, and understand how you navigate through our content. (See Cookies and Tracking Technologies below for details.)

– Analytics: We use analytics providers (such as Google Analytics or similar tools) that use cookies and scripts to gather aggregated information about site traffic and interactions. This analytics data is typically collected in an anonymized or pseudonymized form.

– Data from Third Parties: We may also obtain information about you from other sources:

– If you sign in through a third-party account (Google, Facebook, etc.), we receive information from that account as described in Third-Party Data above.

– If a competition is run in collaboration with a partner or sponsor, they may provide us with information such as confirmation of your entry or eligibility, or details needed for prize fulfillment.
– Publicly available information: We might collect information that you make publicly available (for example, if you post a review or comment about LoopX Competitions on social media and tag us, we may collect that information).
– If you invite others to use the Services (for example, referring a friend to a competition), we may collect the friend’s email address or other contact details to send an invitation, and we will inform the friend you provided their details.
We will only use and collect personal data that is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes described in this policy. You have the choice not to provide certain personal data, but please note that some information may be necessary to use certain features of our Services (for example, you cannot create an account without providing an email address).

How We Use Your Data

LoopX Competitions uses the collected data for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy and with your interactions with our Services. We primarily use your personal information for the following purposes:

– To Create and Manage Your Account: We use personal data to register you as a user, maintain your account, authenticate your identity when you log in, and enable you to participate in competitions.

– To Facilitate Competitions and Provide Services: Your information is used to allow you to enter contests or competitions, to verify your eligibility, to process your contest entries or submissions, and to communicate contest results. If you win or qualify for a prize, we use your details to notify you and arrange prize delivery or fulfillment.

– To Process Transactions: We use financial and personal data to process payments or purchases you make (such as entry fees or merchandise orders), and to provide you with confirmations, invoices, receipts, or order updates. This includes using data to handle billing, payment authorization, refunds, and accounting records.– To Communicate with You: We may send administrative or service-related communications such as confirmations of your entries or purchases, important updates about your account or changes to our Services, responses to your inquiries, and customer support messages. These communications are typically necessary for the performance of our Services and are not promotional in nature.

– For Marketing and Promotional Purposes: With your consent (or as otherwise permitted by law), we may use your contact information (like email or phone) to send newsletters, updates, and special offers about our competitions, new features, or related events that might interest you. We may also use data (like your past participation history or interests) to tailor or personalize the marketing content you receive, so it’s more relevant to you. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time (see Your Rights and Choices below).

– For Analytics and Service Improvement: We process Usage Data and feedback to understand how our Services are used and to improve our offerings. For example, we analyze user interactions to troubleshoot issues, optimize website performance, and develop new features or competitions that better meet user preferences. This helps us enhance the user experience and ensure our platform remains user-friendly and relevant.

-To Personalize Your Experience: We may use cookies and usage data to remember your preferences and settings (e.g., language or region), to personalize content on the site (such as showing contests available in your area or suggestions that align with your past activities), and to provide a more tailored experience.

-Fraud Prevention and Security: Your information is crucial in helping us maintain the security and integrity of our platform. We may use personal data to monitor for and prevent fraud, cheating, abuse, security incidents, and other harmful or unauthorized activities. For example, we might use certain data to verify that accounts are genuine, detect suspicious behavior, enforce our competition rules, and protect our users and business from malicious activity.

-Legal Compliance and Enforcement: In certain cases, we need to process personal data to comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests from authorities. For instance, we may retain transaction records for tax and accounting purposes, or disclose information as required by law, a court order, or governmental regulation. We may also use or disclose data to enforce our Terms and Conditions, to investigate potential violations, and to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, or those of our users or others.

-Other Purposes (with Notice to You): If we intend to use your data for any purpose that is not outlined in this Privacy Policy, we will inform you about that use (for example, by updating this policy and/or obtaining your consent if required by law).

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another related reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the applicable legal basis.

Legal Bases for Processing Personal Data

Payment Processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal):We process your personal data only when we have a valid legal basis to do so. Depending on where you reside (for example, if you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar laws), our legal bases for processing your information are as follows:

– Consent: In certain cases, we rely on your consent to process personal data. For example, we will seek your consent before sending you promotional emails or when you provide optional information in your profile. Where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time (for example, by unsubscribing from marketing emails or adjusting your account settings). Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to the withdrawal.

– Performance of a Contract:We process personal data when it is necessary to fulfill our contract with you. This covers providing the Services you have requested – for instance, when you register and participate in a competition, we must process your data to perform the competition services (e.g., to accept your entry, judge it, and, if applicable, deliver prizes). Similarly, if you make a purchase, processing your payment and delivery details is necessary to complete the transaction.

– Legal Obligation: We will process personal data when we need to comply with a legal obligation. Examples include retaining records for tax and financial reporting, verifying identities to prevent fraud and meet know-your-customer (KYC) regulations (if applicable), or disclosing information when compelled by law enforcement or regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable law.

– Legitimate Interests: We may process personal data as necessary for our (or third parties’) legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your data protection rights. Legitimate interests might include: improving and personalizing our Services; performing analytics and research about our user base; securing our platform and network; preventing fraud; marketing our services to existing customers; and facilitating corporate transactions (e.g., in case of a merger or acquisition). When we rely on legitimate interests, we carefully consider and balance any potential impact on your rights and will provide safeguards to ensure your personal data remains protected.

Note for Users in Certain Jurisdictions: Some jurisdictions may allow processing on additional legal bases (for example, vital interests or public interest), but we generally do not engage in those types of processing for the Services. If such a basis were to apply, we would only do so in compliance with applicable law. If you have questions about the specific legal basis for processing your personal data, please contact us.

How We Share Your Data

We do not sell your personal information. However, we may share or disclose the personal data we collect in the following circumstances, and always pursuant to appropriate safeguards and only as necessary:

– Service Providers and Vendors: We share information with trusted third-party companies that perform services on our behalf to help us operate and improve the Services. These include:

– Hosting and IT Infrastructure Providers: Companies that provide data storage, hosting, cloud computing, and other IT services necessary to run our website and backup data.

-Payment Processors: For handling transactions securely (e.g., credit card processing, payment gateways). These processors receive the necessary financial details to process your payment.

-Email and Communication Providers: Services that assist us in sending emails, notifications, or other communications to you.

– Analytics and Performance Tools: Third-party analytics providers (like Google Analytics) that help us understand how users interact with our Services and improve user experience.

– Customer Support Tools: Platforms that help us manage customer inquiries, support tickets, or live chat.

-Marketing and Advertising Partners: (If used) Services that help us manage marketing campaigns or analyze their effectiveness (e.g., email campaign tools, advertising networks).

These third parties only receive the data necessary for them to perform their specific services, and they are contractually bound to protect your information and use it only for those purposes and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws.

– Affiliates and Related Companies: We may share your information with our parent company, subsidiaries, or other companies under common ownership or control with LoopX Competitions. Any such affiliated entities will use your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy (for example, an affiliate that helps provide or improve the Services will handle data just as we do, under the same rules).

– Business Partners and Sponsors: If a competition or promotion is co-sponsored, co-branded, or offered in partnership with another company/organization, we may share information with that partner for the purpose of administering the competition (e.g., verifying winners, delivering prizes) or for marketing (if you have consented to such marketing). For example, if you enter a contest sponsored by a third-party, we might share the names or contact information of the winners with that sponsor so they can distribute the prize. We will let you know at the point of data collection if a specific partner will receive your information, and you may have the option to opt-out of such sharing where required by law.

– Legal Requirements and Protection: We may disclose your personal data if we, in good faith, believe that such action is necessary to:

– Comply with a legal obligation, applicable law, or respond to valid legal process (e.g., subpoenas, court orders, or government requests).

– Enforce our Terms and Conditions or other agreements, and investigate potential violations thereof.

– Detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues.

– Protect the rights, property, or safety of LoopX Competitions, our users, or the public. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

– Business Transfers: In the event that LoopX Competitions is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization, or other business transaction, your personal data may be transferred to a successor or affiliate as part of that transaction. We will ensure any such transfer is subject to appropriate confidentiality and security measures, and we will notify you (for example, via email and/or a prominent notice on our site) of any change in ownership or uses of your personal data, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal data as a result of the transfer.

– Third-Party Marketing (If Applicable): We will only share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes with your explicit consent. For instance, if you opt in to receive promotional offers from a partner or sponsor, we may share your name and contact details with them so they can send you the information you requested. You have the right to withdraw your consent to this sharing at any time. If we ever consider selling or renting personal data to third parties for direct marketing, we will do so in compliance with applicable laws (such as GDPR or CCPA) and provide clear notice and choice (opt-in or opt-out as required). To be clear, as of the Last Updated date of this policy, LoopX Competitions does not sell your personal data to third parties.

– With Your Consent: Besides the situations above, you will be notified when your personal information may be shared with other third parties, and you will have the opportunity to consent (or not) to such sharing. We may also share aggregated or anonymized information (which cannot reasonably be used to identify you) publicly or with partners – for example, publishing trends about usage of our Services or outcomes of competitions – but this data will not include any personally identifiable information.

We require all third parties with whom we share personal data to respect the security of your data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We never authorize our service providers to use or disclose your data except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like most online services, LoopX Competitions uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide, personalize, and improve our Services. This section explains what these technologies are and how we use them. What Are Cookies? Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, etc.) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners. Cookies can be “session cookies” (which expire when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). We may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (tiny graphics that contain a unique identifier), pixels, or local storage for similar purposes. How We Use Cookies: LoopX Competitions uses these technologies for several reasons, including: – Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and to enable you to use its features. For example, they allow you to log in, to load web pages correctly, and to access secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for (like account login or competition entry forms) cannot be provided. – Functional Cookies: These help to enhance your experience by remembering your preferences and settings. For instance, they may remember you so you don’t have to log in again each time, or recall your language or region selection, or keep track of your progress in a multi-step competition form. – Analytics and Performance Cookies: We use these to collect information about how visitors use our site, such as which pages are visited most often, and if users get error messages on certain pages. This data helps us improve how the website works, understand user interests, and measure the effectiveness of our content. For example, we might use Google Analytics cookies to gather aggregate usage statistics (Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google that places cookies to help us analyze how users use the site; note that Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our site is restricted by their terms of use and privacy policy). -Advertising and Tracking Cookies: (If used on our site) These cookies track your browsing habits and are used to deliver tailored advertisements (either on our site or on others). They remember that you have visited our site and may help us serve you ads relevant to LoopX Competitions on other platforms (for example, on social media or other websites). We currently do not serve third-party advertisements on our website that profile users, but if we do in the future, we will update this policy and obtain any necessary consents. – Third-Party Cookies: In some cases, third parties may set cookies through our site to provide certain services or functionality. For example, if we embed a video from a third-party platform (like YouTube) or have a share button for social media, those third parties might set their own cookies. We may also partner with third-party analytics or tools that set cookies to perform their services. We do not control these cookies, and their use is governed by the privacy policies of the third parties that place them. Your Choices Regarding Cookies: You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (aside from strictly necessary cookies which are required for the site to function). When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or manage your cookie preferences. Even after you accept cookies, you can always adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Most web browsers provide options to notify you before accepting cookies or to reject some or all cookies. The method for doing so varies by browser (check your browser’s Help or Settings menu for instructions). Keep in mind that if you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of our Services may become inaccessible or not function properly (for example, you might not be able to stay logged in or some interactive features may not work). For more information about cookies and how to manage or delete them, you can visit resources like AboutCookies.org or AllAboutCookies.org. Additionally, certain third-party advertising networks allow you to opt out of targeted advertising. To learn more, visit the DAA (Digital Advertising Alliance) or Your Online Choices (EU) websites. By using our Services without changing your browser or device settings to disable cookies, you consent to our use of cookies and similar technologies as described above. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, you can contact us for more information.

Data Retention

We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. How long we keep data can vary depending on the type of information and the reason we collected it:

– Account Information: If you have an account with LoopX Competitions, we will keep your account information for as long as your account is active. If you choose to delete your account, we will remove or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable time after your request, except for any information that we are required to retain for legal or legitimate business purposes. For example, even after account deletion, we may need to keep certain data to comply with tax and financial laws, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.

– Competition Entries and Content: If you participate in a competition or contest, we may retain your entry details and any content you submitted for the duration of the competition. After the competition ends, we might archive the entries and results for a certain period, especially if needed for winner verification, legal defense (e.g., handling any disputes or claims about the contest outcome), or record-keeping. When no longer needed, personal identifiers in competition records may be removed or anonymized.

– Transaction Data: We retain transaction records (such as purchases, payments, invoices) as long as required by law (for instance, financial and tax regulations might require keeping records for a number of years).

– Communications: If you contact us (such as emails to support), we may keep those communications as long as necessary to address your inquiry, provide support, and improve our services. We may also retain correspondence to defend against legal claims, if relevant.

– Marketing Data: We will retain your contact details for marketing purposes until you opt out or unsubscribe from marketing communications (or until the information is no longer useful for marketing, whichever comes first). Upon opting out, we may retain your contact information in a “do not contact” list to ensure we respect your opt-out.

– Usage Data: We typically retain Usage Data (analytics, logs) for a shorter period, generally for internal analysis. This data is usually kept for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes we collected it for (for example, to analyze trends and usage patterns within our site) or as required by our analytics providers. We may aggregate or anonymize Usage Data over time for long-term analysis, in which case it is no longer associated with any individual.

When we have no ongoing legitimate need or legal obligation to process your personal data, we will either delete it or anonymize it (so it can no longer be associated with you). If deletion or anonymization is not immediately feasible (for example, because the data is stored in backup archives), then we will securely store the data and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.

International Data Transfers

LoopX Competitions is headquartered in [Country], but our Services may be accessed by users around the world. The personal data we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, servers and destinations outside of your state, province, or country – including to servers in other countries that may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction. For instance, if you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in a country outside of the EEA/UK (such as the United States or other locations where our servers or service providers are located).

Whenever we transfer your personal data across international borders, we will take steps to ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws. These safeguards may include:

– Standard Contractual Clauses: We may use the European Commission’s approved contractual clauses (and equivalent measures under UK or other laws) in our agreements with third parties that receive data internationally, which contractually require them to provide a level of protection to personal data equivalent to that in the EEA.

– Adequacy Decisions: In some cases, we may transfer data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by relevant regulatory authorities (for example, transfers to countries within the EEA, or to other countries approved by the European Commission).

– Privacy Shield (Historical): While the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks were invalidated for EU-EU transfers by the EU courts, some companies in the US continue to certify to provide strong protection. If we rely on any successor framework or similar certification mechanism for data transfer, we will update this policy accordingly.

– Our Internal Policies: We implement internal protocols to ensure your data is treated securely. This can include encryption of data in transit, access controls, and limiting who can handle your data.

You have a right to inquire about the safeguards we use for exporting your personal data. If you would like more information about our data transfer practices or need a copy of applicable safeguards, please contact us at the email provided in the contact section.

Your Consent to International Transfers: By using our Services or by providing us with your information, you understand that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. Where required by law, we will obtain your explicit consent for such transfers (for example, via a clear consent mechanism). In all cases, we will handle your personal data securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Data Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously. LoopX Competitions implements a variety of technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. These measures include:

– Encryption: We use encryption protocols (such as TLS/SSL) to secure data transmitted between your device and our servers. Sensitive information (like payment details) is encrypted during transfer to prevent interception.

– Access Controls: We limit access to personal data to employees, contractors, and service providers who need access to perform their duties. All such persons are subject to confidentiality obligations and are trained on data protection practices.

– Firewalls and Network Security: Our servers are protected by firewalls and monitoring to guard against external attacks. We regularly update and patch our software to address security vulnerabilities.

– Secure Storage: Personal data is stored on secure servers. We or our hosting providers employ measures like data encryption at rest, redundant storage, and secure data centers with access controls.

– Activity Monitoring: We monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and we regularly review our practices to enhance security. Suspicious activity is investigated promptly.

– Incident Response: In the event of a data breach or security incident, we have procedures in place to respond and mitigate harm. Where required by law, we will notify you and/or relevant authorities of certain breaches.

While we strive to protect your information, it’s important to note that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data. You also play a role in protecting your information: we encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your LoopX account, never share your password with others, and notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account. We will continue to update and improve our security measures as new technologies and best practices emerge.

Your Rights and Choices

We respect your privacy rights and provide you with reasonable access to and control over your personal data. Depending on your jurisdiction (for example, if you are located in the EU, UK, or other regions with data protection laws), you may have some or all of the following rights regarding the personal data we hold about you:

– Right of Access: You have the right to request confirmation of whether we are processing your personal data, and if so, to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide you with a copy of your data in a commonly used electronic format, unless doing so would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

– Right to Rectification: If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or update it. You can also make certain changes yourself by logging into your account settings (for example, you can update your contact information).

– Right to Erasure: You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances (often referred to as the “right to be forgotten”). For instance, if the data is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected, or if you withdraw consent (where the processing was based on consent) and we have no other legal basis to continue processing, or if you object to processing and we have no overriding legitimate grounds, you can request that your data be erased. Please note that this right is not absolute – sometimes we may need to retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (we will inform you if this is the case).

– Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict or suspend the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. For example, if you contest the accuracy of the data, you can request that we restrict processing while we verify the accuracy; or if you have objected to processing (see below) and we are considering whether our legitimate grounds override yours. When processing is restricted, we will still store your data but not use it further until the restriction is lifted.

– Right to Data Portability: In situations where we process your personal data based on your consent or on a contract with you, and the processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to request a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (for example, CSV file), and you have the right to transmit that data to another service provider where technically feasible. Essentially, this allows you to take your data from us and reuse it elsewhere if you wish.

– Right to Object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data when the processing is based on legitimate interests (including profiling based on those interests). If you object, we will cease processing your information unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue (for example, a legal requirement) or if it is needed for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. You also have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. If you object to marketing, we will stop using your data for marketing purposes immediately.

– Right to Withdraw Consent: If we rely on consent for any part of our processing, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. For example, you can unsubscribe from our marketing emails by clicking the “unsubscribe” link, or adjust your account settings to revoke consent for certain data uses. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Exercising Your Rights: To exercise any of the rights above, please contact us at privacy@loopxcompetitions.com with your request. We may ask you to verify your identity (to ensure that we do not disclose your data to someone who isn’t you) before fulfilling the request. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law (generally within 30 days for most requests under GDPR, for example). Please note that some rights may not be available to you depending on the laws in your country or state, but we will do our best to accommodate your request.

Your Choices (Opt-Outs): In addition to the formal rights above, we strive to give you practical ways to control your data, such as:
– You can update, correct, or delete certain profile information at any time by logging into your account.

– You can opt out of marketing emails by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us. (Even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send you service-related or transactional communications, as those are necessary for our Services.)
– You can disable cookies or set preferences as described in the Cookies and Tracking Technologies section.
– If you prefer not to provide certain information, you may choose not to do so; however, this might limit your ability to use certain features of the Services (for example, not providing an email means you cannot create an account).

Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. If you exercise your rights, we will not deny you our services, provide a different level of service, or charge a different price (except to the extent allowed by law, for example if a particular service requires payment of a fee).

California Residents: (If applicable) California law (CCPA/CPRA) provides additional rights to California residents, such as the right to know specific pieces of personal information we have collected, the categories of sources of that information, the business purposes for collecting or selling information, and the categories of third parties with whom information is shared. It also provides a right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and rights regarding sensitive personal information. LoopX Competitions does not sell personal information as defined by CCPA. If you are a California resident and would like to exercise your California privacy rights, please contact us. We may provide a separate California Privacy Notice with further details as required by law.

EU/UK Residents: You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority if you believe we have infringed your data protection rights. We kindly request that you attempt to resolve any issues with us first, but you have the right to contact your authority at any time.

Third-Party Links and Services

Our Services may contain links to websites, apps, or services that are not operated by LoopX Competitions. For example, our competition pages might include links to sponsor websites, or our site might feature community forums hosted on a third-party platform, or we might provide social media buttons that link to our profiles on other sites. If you click on a third-party link or interact with an external service, you will be directed to that third party’s site or service.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected on or through any third-party websites or services that you might access through our links. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit or service you use, especially when navigating away from our Services.

For example:

– If you go to a sponsor’s site to redeem a prize, any data you provide on that site will be governed by their privacy policy.

– If you follow us on social media or click a plugin (like a Facebook “Share” button on our site), those interactions are subject to the privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.

We provide these links or integrations for your convenience and to enhance your experience, but we want you to be aware when your personal data is being collected by a third party and that you should read their policies.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, and other factors. When we update the policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document. Any changes are effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on our website.

If we make material changes to how we collect, use, or share your personal data, we will take reasonable steps to notify you. This may include posting a prominent notice of the changes on our website or, if the changes are significant or required by law, contacting you directly via email or another communication method provided. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our data practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.

Your continued use of our Services after any update to this Privacy Policy will constitute your acknowledgment of the changes and your agreement to be bound by the updated policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you should discontinue use of the Services and can request that we remove your personal data as per your rights described above.
