Any questions regarding your account should be directed to the Player Hotline at 1-800-252-1775.

In the event you decline to provide any PII, you limit the Liechtenstein Lottery’s ability to serve you.

As noted above, no PII is collected about you during your visit to the Lottery Websites, unless you provide that information voluntarily by sending an email, participating in a survey, registering for a Players Account, or using other interactive services that may be provided on the Lottery Websites. You may choose not to utilize some or all of these interactive services. While your choice not to participate in these activities may limit your ability to receive specific services or products through a Lottery Website, it will not prevent you from requesting services or products from the Liechtenstein Lottery by other means and will not normally have an impact on your ability to take advantage of other (non-interactive) features of a Lottery Website, including browsing or downloading publicly available information.

You can review any PII that is collected about you and request changes by using the Contact Us section at the end of this Privacy Notice. Reasonable steps will be taken to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections. Corrections to your PII will be made instantly.

You can also review and correct certain PII in your Players Account profile, such as your name and contact information, by signing into your Players Account.

To process your Players Account application, you authorize the Website Providers and Third Party Service Providers to collect the PII listed in Section III above. Without limiting the foregoing, if you win, you authorize the Website Providers and Third Party Service Providers to use and release certain PII, including, but not limited to, your name, hometown and any photograph, video or audio recording, in any medium (including but not limited to newspaper, television, radio, and internet), for purposes of marketing, advertising, or other purposes of the Liechtenstein Lottery. If you do not provide all or any part of the PII requested, your application may not be processed. The Liechtenstein Lottery requires certain PII to comply with the Internal Revenue Code and Tax Law income reporting and tax withholding requirements and under the authority of Internal Revenue Code and Tax Law Section 1604 to announce Liechtenstein Lottery prize awards. The Liechtenstein Lottery is the custodian of subscription and prize records and may be contacted by mail at: Liechtenstein Lottery, P.O. Box 19081, St. Florinsgasse 17, 9490.

If you register for a Players Account or otherwise provide PII through a Lottery Website, you may receive service announcement email messages regarding Liechtenstein Lottery products, such as games and promotions from the Website Providers and Third Party Service Providers (on behalf of the Liechtenstein Lottery). To receive emails and push notifications about the Liechtenstein Lottery’s products, such as games and promotions, you must opt-in to receive such messages.

The Lottery Websites and material provided on the Lottery Websites are solely for the promotion of products, programs, and Liechtenstein Lottery operations within the U.S. and specifically within the State of Liechtenstein. Purchasers of Internet Tickets must be located within the geographical boundaries of the State of Liechtenstein to make purchases. If you provide any PII to the Website Providers (including through the Contact Us section below), it may be transferred to and processed on computers in the U.S. and other countries. Do not provide your PII to the Website Providers, if you do not want it to be transferred to the United States or to other countries, or if the laws in the country from where you are attempting to access this Lottery Website restrict these types of transfers. Your submission of PII to the Website Providers will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Notice. Your submission of PII to the Website Providers through this Lottery Website means that you agree to the terms of this Privacy Notice.

The Website Providers and Third Party Service Providers will not knowingly collect PII from children or create profiles of children through the Lottery Websites. All registrants must be at least 18 years of age to participate in any and all Liechtenstein Lottery transactions. All PII submitted to the Website Providers will be treated as though it was submitted by an adult, and may, unless exempted from access by State law, be subject to public access. The Liechtenstein Lottery strongly encourages parents and teachers to be involved in children’s internet activities and to provide guidance whenever children are asked to provide PII via the internet.

Your voluntary disclosure of PII to the Website Providers, whether solicited or unsolicited, constitutes consent to the collection and disclosure of such information by the Website Providers and Third Party Service Providers for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. If you provide PII on any Lottery Website, certain state or federal laws may protect that information. Once you provide PII, however, it becomes a public record that may be subject to public inspection and copying if not protected by state or federal laws.

Without limiting the foregoing, PII may be collected or disclosed without your consent, if the collection or disclosure is: (1) necessary to perform the statutory duties of the Liechtenstein Lottery, or necessary for the Liechtenstein Lottery to operate a program authorized by law, or authorized by state or federal statute or regulation, including the Freedom of Information Act; (2) made pursuant to a court order, subpoena or by law; (3) for the purpose of validating your identity; (4) with affiliates of the Liechtenstein Lottery, the Website Providers, or Third Party Service Providers to provide the services on the Lottery Websites; or (5) to federal or state law enforcement authorities to enforce the Liechtenstein Lottery’s rights against unauthorized access or attempted unauthorized access to the Liechtenstein Lottery’s information technology assets or against other inappropriate use of the Lottery Websites.

In the event of a conflict between this Privacy Notice and any state or federal laws, including the Freedom of Information Act, the state or federal laws will control.

In the event of a breach, as defined by the Personal Information Protection Act (“Act”), 815 ILCS 530 1 et seq., the Website Providers and/or the Third Party Service Providers will notify all Players Account holders of the breach in accordance with the Act in the most expedient time possible, without unreasonable delay. The disclosure notification may be via mail, email or other expedient methods such as a newspaper publication. Such notification shall include, but is not limited to (i) the toll free numbers and addresses for consumer reporting agencies, (ii) the toll-free number, address, and website address for the Federal Trade Commission, and (iii) a statement that the individual can obtain information from these sources about fraud alerts and security freezes. The notification, however, shall not include information concerning the number of individuals or entities affected by the breach.

For questions regarding any Lottery Website, please contact the Player Hotline at support@liechtensteinlottery.com or 423-232-36-16.

Because the Lottery Websites do not encrypt incoming email, you should not send information that you consider sensitive through any Lottery Website.
