Privacy Policy
Last updated: 4 July 2026
Killa Competitions ("we", "us") is the data controller for personal data collected via this website. We handle your data in line with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
1. What we collect
- Account details: name, email, date of birth, phone number.
- Delivery address (winners only).
- Payment metadata (we do not store card numbers — payments are handled by our PCI-DSS compliant payment provider).
- Entry history and skill-question answers.
- Basic technical data: IP address, device, browser, and cookies (see section 6).
2. Why we collect it
- To administer competitions and contact winners (contractual necessity).
- To verify your age and eligibility (legal obligation).
- To prevent fraud and comply with anti-money-laundering rules (legitimate interest).
- To send marketing about upcoming draws — only with your consent, and you can opt out at any time.
3. Who we share it with
We share data only with the third parties needed to run the service:
- Our payment processor (to take payment and issue refunds).
- Our email provider (to send transactional emails).
- Delivery couriers (winners only).
- Regulators or law enforcement, if required by law.
We do not sell your personal data. Ever.
4. How long we keep it
Account and entry data is kept while your account is active and for 6 years after closure (required for financial and tax records). Marketing data is kept until you unsubscribe. Winner records are kept indefinitely as part of our public record of draws.
5. Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
- Access a copy of the data we hold on you.
- Have inaccurate data corrected.
- Ask us to delete your data (subject to legal retention).
- Object to or restrict processing.
- Withdraw consent to marketing at any time.
- Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

We use strictly-necessary cookies to keep you logged in and to remember your basket. We use anonymous analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but parts of the site may not work correctly.
7. Security
