This Privacy Policy describes how Powerbol (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit www.powerbol.com and related pages. We operate a random number generator site for entertainment. We do not run paid-entry games, sell official draw-game tickets, or pay cash prizes through this site.
1. Information we collect
Depending on how you use the site, we may process:
- Technical and usage data — such as browser type, device type, general location derived from IP (e.g. country or region), pages viewed, and referring URLs. This often comes from cookies and similar technologies used with analytics and advertising.
- Account data (optional) — if you register, we may store your email address, display name (if provided), and a hashed password. We use this to identify your account and protect access.
- Generated number sets (optional) — if you are signed in and use features that save results, we may store the number sets you choose to save, associated with your account, along with timestamps.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive categories of data beyond what is needed to run the site.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
We and our partners use cookies, local storage, pixels, and similar technologies to:
- Keep the site working (for example, session or preference storage where applicable);
- Measure traffic and site performance;
- Show and measure advertising, including through Google AdSense.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may limit certain features.
3. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics (or similar Google measurement services) to understand how visitors use the site. Google may collect information such as how often users visit, which pages they view, and what other sites they used prior to visiting. Google’s use of data is described in Google’s privacy documentation. You can learn about Google Analytics opt-out options via tools provided by Google.
4. Google AdSense and advertising
We may use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites, including to personalize content and ads.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info (US).
- For EU/EEA users, information about how Google uses data and choices is available in Google’s policies and consent frameworks where applicable.
Third-party advertisers may have their own privacy policies. We do not control their practices.
5. How we use information
We use the information above to:
- Provide and improve the website and optional account features;
- Maintain security and prevent abuse;
- Analyze usage and trends;
- Serve and measure advertising.
6. Legal bases (where applicable)
If laws such as the GDPR apply, we rely on appropriate bases such as consent (where required for cookies or ads), legitimate interests (operating and securing the site), and contract (providing an account you requested).
7. Sharing of information
We may share information with:
- Service providers that help us host, analyze, or operate the site (for example, hosting or analytics), subject to contractual protections where appropriate;
- Google and other advertising or analytics partners as described above;
- Authorities when required by law or to protect rights and safety.
We do not sell your personal information for money in the common sense of “selling” under US state privacy laws; advertising and analytics may involve sharing data with partners as described in this policy and in Google’s disclosures.
8. Data retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law. Account-related data is kept while your account exists and for a reasonable period afterward for backups, security, and legal compliance.
9. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of your personal data, or to object to certain processing. To exercise rights related to an account, contact us using the details on our Contact page. You may also use browser controls, Google’s ad settings, and industry opt-out tools.
10. Children’s privacy
The site is not directed at children under 13 (or the age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
11. International visitors
If you access the site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where we or our providers operate, which may have different data protection rules.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
