Personal Data We Collect

When you create an account, we collect your email address and display name or profile information, together with account and authentication information needed to operate your account. If you use Lucky Checker UK’s features, we also process: your saved lottery numbers and number sets; your saved-line checking history; your notification preferences; your group or syndicate memberships; shared group lines and group activity where you participate in a private group; redacted group ticket-proof images if an organiser chooses to add them; group invitations and organiser-transfer information; beta applications and feedback where applicable; and contact or support submissions you send us. We also process necessary technical and security information through the platform to operate and protect the service. We do not collect payment information.

Ticket scanning

If you use Scan Ticket, Lucky Checker UK uses your device camera, or a photo you choose, only to read a National Lottery ticket QR code or barcode on your device. Decoding happens on your device. We do not upload ticket photos, camera frames, or the raw QR or barcode payload to our servers. If you then check or save the numbers, those numbers are processed in the same way as numbers you type in. Camera access is requested only when you start a scan, and you can refuse and use a photo or a pasted code instead.

Group ticket proof

If you are a group organiser, you may add a ticket proof photo for a group draw. Lucky Checker UK does not upload the original camera image. On your device, the app checks that the photo looks like a purchased National Lottery ticket, covers QR codes and barcodes, and then uploads only that reduced, redacted proof image for other members of that private group to view. Lucky Checker UK does not verify ticket purchase, ownership or claims. Members can view a proof image; only the organiser can add, replace or remove it. Raw QR or barcode values from proof photos are not stored.

Purposes and Lawful Bases

We use your personal data to provide and operate your Lucky Checker UK account and the features you request, including saving your numbers, checking saved lines against available draw data, showing your history, and operating private groups. If you use Scan Ticket, we use the camera or a photo you provide solely to read ticket codes on your device so we can offer those same check and save features. We use it for authentication and account recovery; to communicate necessary service, group and account information such as group invitations and organiser-transfer requests; to respond to support enquiries; and to protect, administer and secure the service. Where required, we may process information to comply with legal obligations. Lucky Checker UK does not send marketing email. We rely on consent only where we genuinely obtain it for a specific purpose.

Service Providers and Recipients

Lucky Checker UK is hosted and operated using Base44 infrastructure and services, which act as a service provider on Lucky Checker UK’s behalf. Your information may also be visible to other members of a private Lucky Checker group where you deliberately participate in shared group functionality. LotteryResultsFeed.com is a lottery-results and data provider; Lucky Checker UK uses it to supply lottery draw results, not to process your personal data. We do not sell your personal data.

Email and In-App Notifications

We may send service or transactional emails for authentication and account recovery, group invitations, organiser-transfer requests, beta communications, support correspondence, and important operational or service notices. We do not send marketing email. Lucky Checker UK may also show you in-app notifications about results, saved-line checks and account or group activity.

Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies for authentication. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking cookies, and we do not use analytics or advertising tracking that profiles you across other apps or websites.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as reasonably required for the relevant purpose and for the operation of your account and the service, subject to any legal obligations that apply. You can initiate permanent account deletion at any time from Profile → Delete Account. When you delete your account: your personal saved numbers and personal account and checking data are deleted; the authentication and user account is permanently removed; and, where you are the organiser of an active group containing other members, you must first successfully transfer organiser responsibility. Where other group members remain, shared group records may be preserved so their group is not damaged, and your personal attribution in those preserved shared records is removed or anonymised. If you are the sole active member of a group, that group and its associated records are deleted. Anonymised information that no longer identifies you may remain where needed to preserve shared group functionality or aggregate information, and is no longer personal data once genuinely anonymised.

Account Deletion

You can delete your account directly in the app from Profile → Delete Account, or from any web browser at https://luckychecker.com/delete-account. The treatment of your data is described in the Data Retention section above. If you need help with deletion, you can contact us at https://luckychecker.com/contact.

Your Privacy Rights

Under UK data-protection law you may have rights including access to your personal data, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, objection, and data portability. To exercise these rights, please contact us at https://luckychecker.com/contact. If you believe your personal data has been handled improperly, you have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
