Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 27, 2026

The short version

We only collect the information needed to run your account. We never sell your data, never use it for ads, and never share it with anyone outside of the people in your pool and the service providers that run the app for us. That's the whole story.

This Privacy Policy explains how Uatau Empire LLC, doing business as The Lottery Pool ("we," "us," or "our"), handles your information when you use our website and apps (the "Service"). The Service is intended for users in the United States.

1. What We Collect

When you sign up and use the Service, we store:

Your email address and name — so you can log in and so other pool members know who you are
Your profile photo — only if you sign in with Google and it's already on your Google account, or if you upload one
Pool activity — which pools you've created or joined, your payment status within a pool, messages you post, and any ticket photos you upload
Saved Pro content — if you use Professional tools, sets of numbers you choose to save
Push notification token — only if you tap "Allow" when the app asks for notification permission. You can revoke this any time in your device settings.
Billing information — if you subscribe to Professional, a limited set of billing details described in Section 6 (never your full card number)

Pool buy-ins and winnings happen directly between members — we don't touch that money and don't collect any of it.

2. How We Use It

To run your account and let you participate in pools
To show your name and photo to other members of pools you join
To provide and manage a Professional subscription, if you buy one
To send you notifications about pool events (new draws, invites, results) — only if you've allowed notifications
To keep the Service secure, prevent abuse, and comply with the law

We do not use your data for advertising, marketing to third parties, or any purpose beyond operating the app for you.

3. Where It's Stored

Your data is stored securely on Google Firebase — a cloud platform operated by Google LLC, hosted in the United States. Firebase uses industry-standard encryption and security practices. You can read about Google's data practices at firebase.google.com.

4. Who Can See Your Information

Your personal information is only shared in these situations:

Other pool members can see your name, profile photo, and payment status within pools you've joined — the same information you'd share with someone in a group chat
Service providers that run the app for us — Google Firebase (hosting and storage) and Stripe (payments) — process data on our behalf, only as needed to operate the Service
When required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users or the Service
Our team, to operate the Service — authorized personnel may review reported content and account information as needed to investigate abuse, provide support, and keep the Service safe

We never sell, rent, or give your information to advertisers, data brokers, or unrelated third parties.

5. Keeping Your Data

We keep your account information for as long as your account is active, and only as long as needed for the purposes above or as the law requires. You can delete your account any time from the Delete Account page — either using the in-app flow or by emailing us. Full details of what gets removed and what stays are on that page.

6. Payments (Professional Subscription)

The optional Professional subscription is processed by Stripe, Inc., a PCI-compliant payment processor. When you subscribe, Stripe collects and stores your payment details directly — we never see or store your full card number. We store only:

a Stripe customer ID and subscription ID,
your plan status and billing interval (monthly or yearly), and
your current period end date,

so we can show your plan and let you manage or cancel it. Stripe's handling of your payment data is governed by its own privacy policy at stripe.com.

7. Your Choices

You can update your name and photo in your profile, turn notifications on or off in your device settings, cancel a Professional subscription from your billing settings, and delete your account at any time. To ask what data we hold about you or to request deletion, email support@thelotterypool.net.

8. Kids Under 18

This app is for adults only (18+). We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has created an account, please let us know and we'll remove it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the Service evolves. We'll update the date at the top when we do, and give reasonable notice of material changes.

10. Questions or Concerns?

The Service is operated by Uatau Empire LLC (d/b/a The Lottery Pool). We're happy to help — email us at support@thelotterypool.net for anything privacy-related: data questions, deletion requests, or just curiosity.
