Art of Healing Raffle Privacy Policy
Splashdot Incorporated (“we” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy and safeguarding your personal information. This Privacy Policy relates to the Art of Healing Raffle. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we manage your information. By submitting your personal information to us, by registering for or participating in the Art of Healing Raffle, you consent to our collecting, using and disclosing your personal information as set out in this Privacy Policy, as may be revised from time to time.
Meaning of Personal Information
“Personal information” means information about an identifiable individual. This information may include, but is not limited to, your name, mailing address, e-mail address and telephone number.
Your Consent to Collection, Use and Disclosure
We collect, use and disclose your personal information with your consent or as permitted or required by law. Subject to applicable laws, your consent may be express or implied, depending on the circumstances and the sensitivity of the personal information in question. If you choose to provide personal information to us, we assume that you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as outlined in this privacy statement. Typically, we will seek your consent at the time your personal information is collected. Where we want to use your personal information for a purpose not previously identified to you at the time of collection, we will seek your consent prior to our use of such information for this new purpose. If you provide personal information about another individual to us, it is your responsibility to obtain the consent of that individual to enable us to collect, use and disclose his or her information as described in this privacy statement.
Examples of how we collect the information that is stored:
We primarily collect personal information from you in three ways:
-
Information you provide to us
We ask for basic personal information from you to officially record your purchase on the website and ensure that you are eligible to participate in the raffle. This information is also required to ensure that purchases are legitimate, made by you and can be confirmed. We also ask for payment information, and transmit this basic information to record a purchase, but we do not store your payment card information. However, we do store confirmation of all purchases. By providing your information to us, you are creating a record of the information that we can then use to help you make future purchases as well as participate in any other of our campaigns. Should you have any questions about this account at a later date, we encourage you to contact us at privacy@splashdot.com

Automatically collected information
We collect some information automatically such as log information which can include your browser type, IP address, device identifiers, and a variety of other publicly available information. This allows us to better identify you should we need to obtain more information about a transaction you made, to comply with applicable laws, including your presence in British Columbia or to help troubleshoot issues you might encounter. Information about site usage is also stored to help us improve our offerings. We store your IP and geolocation information of said IP in order to verify that you meet eligibility requirements of the raffle as well as to perform statistical analysis. We utilize cookies, which are commonly used small text files stored on your computer. These cookies can help us facilitate your use of the site and protect against security issues.

We are legally obligated to keep information of all transactions as defined within the Gaming and Enforcement Branch of BC regulations. More information about legislative requirements can be found here https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/sports-culture/gambling-fundraising. We also retain your information if you choose to provide consent for us to communicate with you for as long as you do not withdraw said consent. If you create an account with us, we will also store your information until you tell us to delete it.

Accessing and Updating Your Personal Information
You may make a written request to review any personal information about you that we have collected, used or disclosed, and we will provide you with any such personal information to the extent required by law.

If you successfully demonstrate that your personal information in our records is inaccurate or incomplete, we will amend the personal information as required. We may require that you provide sufficient identification to fulfill your request to access or correct your personal information. Any such identifying information will be used only for this purpose. During the existing campaign to which this privacy policy applies, you may also edit your account information by visiting the site and following the directions given to access your information.
Third-Party Websites and Services
This Privacy Policy applies only to the Art of Healing Raffle. This Privacy Policy does not extend to any of our other products and services or any websites or products or services provided by third parties. We do not assume responsibility for the privacy practices of such third parties, and we encourage you to review all third-party privacy policies prior to using third-party websites or products or services.
Children’s Information
Our products and services are not intended for children under the age of 19, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 19. Children under the age of 19 should not use our products and services and should not provide us with their personal information.
How do we keep information secure?
We work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction. This includes monitoring our offerings for potential vulnerabilities and attacks and encrypting all of your personally identifiable information. We do not store your payment card information. Despite the measures outlined above, no method of information transmission or information storage is 100% secure or error-free, so we unfortunately cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any information that you provided to us has been compromised), please contact us immediately using the contact information in the “Contact Us” section below.
