Privacy Policy
Last updated: 5 August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how GoSlotto ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit goslotto.com (the "Site"). GoSlotto is an independent website that publishes results and statistics for the Russian Gosloto lottery games. We are not affiliated with Stoloto or the official lottery operator, and we do not sell tickets, take bets, or process any payments.
We keep data collection to a minimum. You can browse almost the entire Site without giving us any personal information. This policy describes what we do collect, why, and the choices you have.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us
If you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address, subject and message you enter. We use this only to read and reply to your message.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our servers automatically record standard technical information when you visit, which may include your IP address, browser type and version (user-agent), the pages you view, and the date and time of your request. This is used for security, to prevent abuse (for example, spam sent through the contact form), and to keep the Site running reliably.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies — needed for the Site to work correctly (for example, remembering your session or preferences). These are always active.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it (see the "Analytics" section below).
We do not run an advertising network on the Site, so no advertising network sets cookies here. The advertising we do carry is affiliate advertising, explained in the next section. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the Site work.
3. Advertising
The only advertising on the Site is affiliate advertising: banners and links belonging to companies we have a commercial arrangement with, including licensed betting operators, who pay us a commission when a reader opens an account with them. Who we work with is listed on our How we're funded page.
These are ordinary links carrying a tracking code. Clicking one takes you to the advertiser's own website, where their privacy policy and cookies apply from that moment on. We do not need to store a cookie on our side to be credited, we do not build advertising profiles, and we do not receive your name, contact details, account details or betting activity — the advertiser reports only aggregate numbers to us.
Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland: under local law, non-essential cookies (including analytics cookies) are used only where you have given consent. Where consent is required, it is requested before such cookies are set, and you may change or withdraw it at any time.
4. Analytics
We may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to collect aggregated, non-identifying information about how the Site is used — for example, which pages are most visited and which country visitors come from. This helps us improve the content and performance of the Site. You can read Google's practices at policies.google.com/privacy and opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Third-party services we rely on
To operate the Site, we use a small number of trusted service providers, which process data on our behalf or under their own policies:
- Google Analytics — website analytics (if enabled). See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Postmark (ActiveCampaign, LLC) — used only to deliver contact-form messages to us by email. See Postmark's Privacy Policy.
- Cloudflare — content delivery and security in front of the Site. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
Our advertising partners (see the "Advertising" section above) are not service providers acting on our behalf: they are separate companies whose sites you reach by clicking a banner or link. They do not process data for us, and we do not share your personal information with them. Once you land on their site, their own privacy policy governs what they collect.
6. How we use information
- To respond to messages you send through the contact form.
- To keep the Site secure, prevent spam and abuse, and diagnose technical problems.
- To display advertising that helps keep the Site free.
- To understand, in aggregate, how the Site is used and to improve it.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your contact details to send marketing or newsletters.
7. Data retention
We keep contact-form messages only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards for our records, then delete them. Automatic server logs are kept for a limited time for security and troubleshooting. Cookies expire according to the periods set by us or the relevant third party.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under the EU/UK GDPR, South Africa's POPIA, or the California CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To make a request, contact us through our contact page. We will respond within the time required by applicable law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
9. International visitors
The Site is available worldwide, and the providers listed above may process data in countries other than your own. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we rely on the safeguards offered by those providers (such as standard contractual clauses).
10. Children
The Site is intended for adults and is not directed at children. Lottery-related content is meant for people who are 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will remove it.
11. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold — for example, serving the Site over HTTPS and storing data on secured servers. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Links to other sites
The Site contains links to third-party websites, including advertisers and affiliate partners such as licensed betting operators. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Once you follow a link, you are on their site under their rules — please review their privacy policy and terms before registering or providing them with any information.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes may be highlighted on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
14. Contact us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, please reach us through our contact page. GoSlotto is operated by the team behind lotostats.ro.
