Privacy Policy: On The House (OTH) Giveaways

Last Updated: February 2026

1. Introduction

At On The House (OTH), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy informs you how we look after your personal data when you visit our website, enter our competitions, or purchase "Sponsor Bonus Bundles". It also tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you in the UK.

2. The Data We Collect

We may collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of personal data about you, including:

  • Identity Data: First name, last name, and date of birth (to verify you are 18+).

  • Contact Data: Email address, postal address (for prize delivery or postal entries), and telephone number.

  • Financial Data: Payment card details (processed securely via Shopify/Stripe; OTH does not store full card numbers).

  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and location data used for the Meta Pixel and Google Analytics to track competition performance.

  • Marketing Data: Your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our sponsors.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your data primarily to:

  • Register you as an entrant in a competition and assign your ticket numbers.

  • Notify you if you are the winner via phone and email.

  • Deliver prizes to your home address.

  • Manage our relationship with you, including notifying you of new "On The House" giveaways.

  • Protect our platform from "system gamers" or bot-based entries.

4. Sponsor Data Sharing (The "Twist")

Because our competitions are Sponsor-Funded, we may share your information with our brand partners (e.g., Gridserve):

  • Consent-Based: We will only share your contact data for marketing purposes if you have given us explicit, opt-in consent via the tick-box on the entry form.

  • Anonymized Reporting: We may share anonymized, aggregated data with sponsors (e.g., "30,000 people entered the Taycan draw") to prove the reach of their sponsorship.

5. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements (such as proving a valid draw took place to the ASA).

6. Your Legal Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data.

  • Request correction or erasure of your data.

  • Object to processing of your data for marketing.

  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your data.

7. Cookies

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users and track the "Free-to-Paid" funnel. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, but note that some parts of the Shopify checkout may become inaccessible.
