Privacy Policy
Hudson Alley Software, Inc. (“HAS”) operates LotteryAnswers.com. It is HAS’ policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites. If you have questions about accessing or correcting your personal data please contact our support team.
Your privacy is critically important to us. At Hudson Alley Software, Inc. we have a few fundamental principles:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
- We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
- We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
- We aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to other users.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, HAS collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. HAS’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how HAS’ visitors use its website. From time to time, HAS may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
HAS also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users. HAS only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
When creating an account on LotteryAnswers.com we ask for certain information, which is all voluntary with the exception of users’ work email addresses. HAS collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with LotteryAnswers.com. HAS does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
HAS may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, HAS may monitor the most popular questions or answers on the LotteryAnswers.com site. HAS may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, HAS does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
HAS discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on HAS’ behalf or to provide services available at LotteryAnswers.com, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. HAS will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, HAS discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when HAS believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of HAS, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of LotteryAnswers.com and have supplied your email address, HAS may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with HAS and our products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. HAS takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. HAS uses cookies to help HAS identify and track visitors, their usage of LotteryAnswers.com, and their website access preferences. HAS visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using LotteryAnswers.com, with the drawback that certain features of LotteryAnswers.com may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Business Transfers
If HAS, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that HAS goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquiror of HAS may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, HAS may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in HAS’ sole discretion. HAS encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
