Privacy Policy

Summary

The information we collect from you is used in two ways; to administer the Texas Free Lottery fairly and to pass onto selected third parties to advertise their services.

We need your personal information to administer the Texas Free lottery so that we know everyone who is entering is over 18 and lives in Texas. We also require the information so that if you win, we can check that you are who you say you are so that we can abide by the various anti-money laundering rules and regulations that apply in the United States and across the world.

You can, at any point, ask us to not pass on your information to third parties by the settings in your account or by contacting us. The only information we would share is your name and email address to third parties that offer similar services to that of Texasfreelottery.com. We will never share any more information than this and we assure you that your privacy is safe with us. Passing on your information allows us to offer such great prizes for free.

Below you can find more details pertaining to the above two points.

What data do we collect?
