Depending on what you do when you visit any web site, you are providing information about your visit to the site's owners. This includes
www.worldwidelottery.com ("Our Site")
We value privacy and think you do as well, so we want you to have the information you need to make your own decisions about your personal privacy. When you visit or supply information to any web site, we think it's a good idea for you to first understand what that site's privacy policies are.
The bottom line is that except as specifically noted, we do not use your personal information for any other purpose. We never sell or share your information with any third party. For specific information on privacy issues, please see below.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.
Newsletter Registration or Requests for Information.
We only collect personal information that you choose to provide voluntarily when using or registering with us. "Personal information" includes information that can identify you as a specific individual, such as your name or email address; and, in the case of business users, your name and company name and company contact details. While you can browse our site without registering, you will need to register in order to take advantage of certain features, such as requesting newsletters or information on promotional offers and on-line ordering.
Browsing and the use of Cookies
We use cookie technology as part of our web site's statistical reporting. A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a website that is saved on your hard disk by your computer's browser. It holds information a site may need to personalize your experience and to gather web site statistical data, such as which pages are visited, what is downloaded, the internet provider's domain name and country that our visitors come from and the addresses of sites visited immediately before, and after, coming to our site. However, none of this is associated with you as an individual. It is measured only in aggregate. The information in the cookies lets us trace your "click stream" activity (i.e., the paths taken by visitors to our site as they move from page to page.) Cookies do not capture your individual email address or any private information about you.
We also use standard web server log files to help us count visitors and evaluate our site's technical capacity. We use this information to find out how many people visit our site, help us arrange the pages in the most user-friendly way, keep the site browser-friendly, and to make our pages more useful to our visitors.
To browse without cookies, you can configure your browser to reject all cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is set. (Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.)
Sweepstakes, Trivia Games, and Surveys
From time to time, we may conduct sweepstakes, trivia games, or surveys via our web site. If you choose to participate, we use your response to select sweepstakes winners, to come up with the game or survey results and, sometimes, to publish those results in aggregate on the site. Except where necessary to run a sweepstakes, we will never permanently record or report any response you give on its own or connect it to your name or address. We will hold these responses only as anonymous statistics. We will never sell or rent such information to any third parties.
Email, Mailing Lists, and Other Services
When you send us an email, we use your email address to thank you for your comment and/or reply to your question, and we will store your communication and our reply in case we correspond further. Beyond our initial reply, we will never use your email address to send you any unsolicited message or information, nor will we share it with or sell it to anyone else for such use.
When you request information or other services, we use your email address and any other information you give us to provide you with the information or other services you requested until you ask us to stop (using the 'unsubscribe' instructions provided with each email and/or on the site where you signed up and/or as we otherwise provide), or until the information or service is no longer available. We will not use your address or other information to provide you with any unsolicited message or information (unless that is part of the service you are requesting), nor will we share it with or sell, rent or lease it to any third party for such use.
Linking To Other Sites
Please remember that when you use a link to go from Our Site to another web site, the Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other web site, including any site that has a link on our site, is subject to the rules and policies of that site. We encourage you to read the rules and policies of the sites you visit to further understand their procedures for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information.
Our policy regarding sharing of information
Our policy is simple: we never sell or rent your personal information to any third parties under any circumstances.

If you do not explicitly choose to receive informational emails, the only email messages you will receive from us will be to respond to email inquiries that you send us.
How we protect the security of your personal information
The security of your personal information is very important to us and we are committed to protecting the information we collect. Our Site uses firewalls and has security measures in place at its physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that we have collected from you at our web site.
