Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Tessera publishes tesserasweepstakes.com. For any question about this policy or about data we hold, contact editorial@tesserasweepstakes.com.

2. What we collect

We do not ask for or hold names, postal addresses, dates of birth, payment details or account credentials. There is no registration on this website and no facility to create one.

3. What we do not do

• We do not sell or rent personal data to anyone, for any purpose.
• We do not build advertising profiles or run behavioural retargeting from this website.
• We do not load analytics or marketing scripts before you have accepted them.
• We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we learn we have, we delete it.

4. Legal basis

Where GDPR applies, we rely on legitimate interests for server logs and website security, and on your consent for analytics cookies. Consent can be withdrawn at any time by clearing this website's cookies and storage in your browser, or by declining when the notice is shown.

5. Sharing

Limited data is processed by our hosting provider, in order to serve the website, and by our analytics provider if you accepted analytics. Both act on our instructions. We may also disclose data where we are legally required to.

When you follow a link to a third-party brand, that brand's own privacy policy governs everything that happens from that point. Some links carry a tracking parameter identifying us as the referrer so that a commission can be attributed; that parameter does not transmit personal data about you from us.

6. Retention

• Server logs: retained for up to 90 days, then deleted.
• Analytics: aggregated and retained for up to 14 months.
• Cookie preference: stored in your browser until you clear it.
• Email correspondence: retained for up to 24 months, then deleted.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. Residents of California have rights under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, including the right to know, to delete, to correct, and to opt out of sale or sharing — we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined. Residents of Canada have rights under PIPEDA.

To exercise any of these, write to editorial@tesserasweepstakes.com. We respond within 30 days. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.

8. Security

The website is served over HTTPS with a content security policy and standard security headers in place. No transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we hold very little that would be of interest to anyone if it were obtained.

9. Children

You must be 18 or older — or the minimum legal age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher — to create an account with any brand described on this website. This website is not directed at children, and its content is not designed to appeal to anyone below the minimum age.

10. Changes

Material changes to this policy will be reflected in the date at the top of this page. The version published here is always the current one.
