1. Updates to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we do, we will post the updated version on this page and change the date above. If the changes are material, we will also notify you in the Services or by email.
2. Personal data we collect
Data you give us
- Account information: name, email address, username, date of birth, phone number, and, if you use Sign in with Apple, the name and email (or private relay email) Apple shares with us.
- Identity verification information: full name, residential address, date of birth, government-issued ID images and numbers, and a selfie or facial scan used to match you to your ID. We and our identity verification provider collect this to confirm your age, identity and eligibility, and always before a prize redemption.
- Purchase and payment information: details of Gold Coin purchases, such as amount, date and billing details. Card payments are processed by third-party payment processors. We do not store full card numbers.
- Prize redemption information: the bank account, Venmo or PayPal account, or cryptocurrency wallet address you provide to receive a prize, and tax information (such as Form W-9 data, including your Social Security number) where required to report prizes.
- Mail-in requests: the details on any free Sweeps Coins request you send by mail.
- Communications: messages you send to our support team by email or in-app chat.
- Responsible play settings: purchase limits, time-outs and self-exclusion choices.
Data we collect automatically
- Device and connection data: IP address, device identifiers, browser and operating system, and internet service provider.
- Location data: your approximate location from your IP address and, where you allow it, precise device location. We use location checks to confirm you are in a jurisdiction where the Services are available, and to detect VPNs, proxies and location spoofing.
- Gameplay and usage data: games played, coin balances and transactions, wins, redemptions, session times, and how you use the Services.
- Cookies and similar technologies: we and our partners use cookies, pixels and similar tools to keep you signed in, remember preferences, measure performance, prevent fraud and, where permitted, show relevant ads.
Data from third parties
- Identity, fraud and sanctions checks: results from our identity verification, fraud prevention and sanctions screening providers.
- Payment processors: confirmation of payments, chargebacks and refunds.
- Apple: if you sign in with Apple or buy Gold Coins through Apple's in-app purchase system, confirmation of the purchase and the basic profile information you allow Apple to share. We do not receive your Apple payment card details.
- Marketing partners: information about how you found the Services.
Biometric data
Before any biometric data is collected, we ask for your express written consent in the verification flow, as required by laws such as the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act and similar laws in Texas and Washington. With that consent, our identity verification provider collects a facial scan to compare your selfie with your ID photo. We use this only for identity verification and fraud prevention, do not sell it, and delete it once it is no longer needed for that purpose, and in any case within 3 years of your last interaction with us, unless the law requires longer retention.
Sensitive personal data
Some of the data above is treated as sensitive under U.S. state privacy laws: government ID numbers and Social Security numbers, biometric data, precise geolocation, and financial account details used for prize payouts. We collect and use sensitive data only to verify identity, age and location, prevent fraud, pay prizes, meet legal and tax obligations, and provide the Services. We do not use it to infer characteristics about you or for advertising.
3. How we use personal data
We use personal data to:
- Provide the Services: create and run your account, deliver Gold Coins, credit Sweeps Coins, run games and process prize redemptions.
- Verify eligibility: confirm your age, identity and location, and keep players in Excluded Jurisdictions from playing.
- Prevent fraud and meet legal obligations: detect multiple accounts, bots, collusion, chargeback abuse and money laundering; screen against sanctions lists; keep records; and report prizes to tax authorities where required.
- Support responsible play: apply limits, time-outs and self-exclusion.
- Communicate with you: respond to support requests and send service messages and, with your permission where required, marketing.
- Improve the Services: analyze usage and develop new games and features.
- Enforce our terms and protect the rights and safety of our users and the company.
4. How we share personal data
We do not sell your personal data for money. We share it only as follows:
- Service providers who work on our behalf, including hosting, identity verification, geolocation, fraud prevention, payment processing, prize payout, customer support, analytics and email providers. They may use your data only to provide services to us.
- Payment partners and banks to process purchases, refunds, chargebacks and prize payments.
- Apple, to process in-app purchases and refunds made through the App Store.
- Advertising partners, who may receive device and usage data for interest-based advertising. You can opt out as described in Section 5.
- Legal and safety: law enforcement, regulators, tax authorities or other parties where required by law or legal process, or to protect our users, the company or others.
- Sweepstakes winners: where the law requires, we may publish or provide a winner's name and state.
- Business transfers: in a merger, acquisition, financing or sale of assets.
5. Your choices and rights
- Marketing: you can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any email. You will still receive service messages.
- Cookies: you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features may not work without them.
- App tracking: on iOS, we ask for your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt before tracking you across other companies' apps and websites. You can change this at any time in your device's Settings.
- Location: you can turn off precise location in your device settings, but you will not be able to play with or redeem Sweeps Coins without a location check.
- Do Not Track: we do not currently respond to browser Do Not Track signals.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or get a copy of your personal data, to opt out of targeted advertising or the "sale" or "sharing" of personal data as those terms are defined by law, and to appeal a decision we make about your request. To use these rights, email support@antesocialco.com. We will verify your identity before acting on a request. We may keep some data where the law requires, for example records of prize payments and anti-money laundering checks. We will not discriminate against you for using your privacy rights.
6. Retention
We keep personal data for as long as your account is open and as long as needed afterward to provide the Services, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, enforce our terms and meet legal obligations. Identity verification, transaction and redemption records are kept for at least 5 years after your account closes, as required for anti-money laundering and tax purposes.
7. Security
We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards, including encryption in transit and at rest and access controls, to protect personal data. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children
The Services are only for adults 18 and older (or the age of majority where you live). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
9. International users
The Services are offered only in the United States, and personal data is processed in the United States.
