Effective date: February 6, 2026

Website: online-sweeps.com

1. Introduction

Welcome to Online Sweeps (“we,” “our,” “us”). This Policy explains how our website operates, what information we collect, how we use it, and the rules that apply when you use our content.

Online Sweeps is an informational website focused on sweepstakes-style social casino content, rankings, guides, and educational resources. We do not operate a gambling platform, do not process wagers, and do not guarantee prizes or outcomes from third-party brands.

By accessing or using this site, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. Age and Eligibility

Our content is intended for adults only.

• You must be 18+ (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) to use this site.
• You are responsible for ensuring that accessing sweepstakes-style content is legal in your location.
• We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.

If we learn that data was submitted by a person under legal age, we may remove it.

3. Informational Purpose Only

Online Sweeps is a publisher and comparison resource.

• We provide reviews, rankings, guides, and promotional summaries.
• We may receive compensation from certain partners (affiliate relationships), which may influence placement, but we aim to maintain editorial standards.
• We do not control third-party sites, apps, payment systems, verification processes, or redemption timelines.

Nothing on this site is legal, tax, financial, or professional advice.

4. Promotions, Bonuses, and Accuracy

We try to keep offers current, but promotions can change quickly.

• Bonus amounts, eligibility, and redemption terms may vary by state, operator, and time.
• “Top picks,” “best,” and similar labels are editorial opinions based on our internal criteria.
• You should always verify final terms directly on the operator’s official pages before participating.

We are not liable for discrepancies between our summaries and third-party terms.

5. Data We Collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:

5.1 Information you provide voluntarily

• Name, email, or message details (e.g., contact forms, newsletter signups).

5.2 Automatically collected information

• IP address (or truncated/anonymized form where applicable),
• device/browser type,
• language, pages viewed, session duration, referrer data,
• interaction events (clicks, navigation behavior).

5.3 Cookies and similar technologies

We may use:

• Strictly necessary cookies (site functionality, security),
• Analytics cookies (traffic and usage insights),
• Functional cookies (preferences),
• Marketing cookies (if enabled and legally permitted).

You can manage cookie preferences via your cookie settings tool/banner (where available) and browser settings.

6. How We Use Data

We use data to:

• operate, maintain, and secure the website;
• improve page speed, usability, and content quality;
• analyze performance of guides/rankings;
• respond to inquiries and support requests;
• detect abuse, fraud, or technical errors;
• comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell personal data in the ordinary sense of direct ownership transfer for cash. Where “sale”/“sharing” is broadly defined by law, you may have opt-out rights (see Section 11).

7. Legal Bases (where applicable)

If GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we process personal data based on:

• Consent (e.g., non-essential cookies, marketing);
• Legitimate interests (site analytics, security, product improvement);
• Contractual necessity (responding to requested services/inquiries);
• Legal obligation (compliance, law enforcement requests).

8. Sharing and Processors

We may share data with trusted service providers, such as:

• hosting and CDN providers,
• analytics services,
• email and CRM tools,
• anti-spam/security tools,
• affiliate tracking platforms.

These parties process data under contractual safeguards and only as needed for service delivery.

We may also disclose information:

• to comply with law or valid legal process,
• to protect rights, safety, and platform integrity,
• in a business transfer (merger/acquisition/reorganization), subject to lawful safeguards.

9. Third-Party Links and External Services

Our site contains links to third-party operators and external websites.

We are not responsible for third-party privacy practices, terms, products, or content.

When you leave online-sweeps.com, review the destination site’s legal documents:

• Terms of Service,
• Sweepstakes/Promotional Rules,
• Privacy Policy,
• Responsible play resources.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for:

• the purposes described in this Policy,
• legal, accounting, dispute-resolution, and enforcement needs.

Retention periods vary by data type, legal obligations, and operational necessity. When no longer needed, data is deleted or anonymized where feasible.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

• access your personal data,
• correct inaccurate data,
• delete data,
• restrict or object to processing,
• data portability,
• withdraw consent at any time (without affecting prior lawful processing),
• opt out of certain targeted advertising or data sharing.

To exercise rights, contact us using the details in Section 16. We may need to verify your identity before processing requests.

12. International Transfers

Your data may be processed in countries different from your own.

Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., contractual clauses and equivalent protective measures) for international data transfers.

13. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, such as:

• encrypted connections (HTTPS),
• access controls,
• monitoring and anti-abuse measures,
• least-privilege operational practices.

No internet transmission or storage system is 100% secure; therefore, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

14. Responsible Play Notice

Online Sweeps supports responsible participation and balanced digital habits.

• Do not treat sweepstakes-style games as income or financial strategy.
• Set time and spending limits.
• Take regular breaks.
• Stop immediately if activity causes stress or harm.

If participation stops being fun, pause and seek support from trusted responsible-play resources in your region.
