Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

CarRaffleOdds is an independent comparison website for UK car raffles and prize competitions. We are a small, independent project based in the United Kingdom.

For data protection queries, you can contact us at hello@carraffleodds.com.

2. What data we collect

We collect very little personal data. CarRaffleOdds does not require user registration, does not process payments, and does not collect personally identifiable information through forms or accounts.

The data we may collect includes:

• Anonymous analytics data: page views, device type, browser type, approximate geographic location (country level), and referral source. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual users.
• Technical data: IP addresses may be temporarily processed by our hosting provider (Vercel) for security and performance purposes. These are not stored or accessible to us in an identifiable form.

3. Analytics

We may use privacy-focused analytics services to understand how people use our site. If analytics are active, they collect aggregated, anonymous usage data — not personal information. We do not use Google Analytics or any service that creates individual user profiles.

Analytics help us understand which pages are most useful, how people discover the site, and where we can improve. You can block analytics by using a browser-based ad blocker or privacy extension.

4. Cookies

CarRaffleOdds uses minimal cookies:

• Essential cookies: strictly necessary cookies for site functionality (e.g., remembering filter preferences). These do not require consent.
• Analytics cookies: if analytics are implemented, anonymous cookies may be used to track page views. These are optional and can be blocked.

We do not use advertising cookies, remarketing cookies, or third-party tracking cookies. We do not sell, share, or trade cookie data with any third party.

5. Third-party links and affiliate cookies

CarRaffleOdds contains links to external competition websites. When you click an affiliate link, the destination site may set its own cookies to track the referral. This is standard practice for affiliate programmes and is controlled by the third-party site, not by us.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any site you visit through our links.

6. Data retention

Anonymous analytics data, if collected, is retained for up to 12 months before being automatically deleted. We do not store any personal data beyond what is described in this policy.

7. Your rights under UK GDPR

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights:

• Right of access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to erasure — request deletion of your data
• Right to object — object to our processing of your data
• Right to data portability — request your data in a machine-readable format
• Right to complain — lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)

Given that we collect minimal anonymous data, most of these rights are unlikely to be relevant. However, if you have any concerns or requests, please contact us at hello@carraffleodds.com.

You can also contact the ICO directly at ico.org.uk or by phone on 0303 123 1113.

8. Children's privacy

CarRaffleOdds is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children. Most UK prize competitions require entrants to be at least 18 years old.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Your continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
