Privacy Policy

Who we are

King Carp Competitions operates the website at kingcarpcompetitions.co.uk. We run online competitions where participants purchase tickets for a chance to win prizes. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and your rights regarding that data.

What data we collect

• Account information — your name, email address, and password when you register.

• Delivery address — if you provide one for prize delivery.

• Purchase history — competition entries, ticket numbers, payment amounts, and payment method (Stripe or account balance).

• Account balance — top-up history and balance transactions.

• Analytics data — anonymised browsing behaviour collected via Google Analytics if you have accepted analytics cookies (see our Cookie Policy).

Why we collect it

• To create and manage your account.

• To process competition entries and payments.

• To contact you if you win a prize.

• To manage your account balance and transaction history.

• To improve the website using anonymised analytics data (with your consent).

• We may use tracking technologies in our emails (such as pixels) to record whether you have opened an email and clicked links. This helps us improve our communications. This data is processed under our legitimate interest in understanding engagement with our emails.

Who we share it with

• Google Analytics — anonymised site usage data, only if you have consented. See the Google Privacy Policy.

• We do not sell or share your personal data with any other third parties.

How long we keep it
