Privacy Policy for ContestReminder.com
Last Updated: September 18, 2026
Welcome to ContestReminder.com (“we”, “us”, “our”), a platform dedicated to making contest entry easier, faster, and smarter. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, protect, and share information about you, as well as your rights regarding your information when you use our website located at https://contestreminder.com (“Website”).
1. Information We Collect
a. Personal Information
When you register on our Website, we collect personal information such as your name, email address, geographic location (State, Province, or Country), and a securely hashed password. This information is used to tailor contest listings to your specific geographic location, manage your account, and for account security purposes.
b. Contest Entry Information
We collect information related to your contest entries, including the contests you enter, the dates of entry, and your contest preferences. This information is used to track your entries, filter contests according to your preferences, and manage the visibility of contests based on your actions (e.g., removal requests).
c. Cookies, Analytics and Your Choices
We use essential cookies and similar storage to support account access, security and your cookie choices. Optional analytics and advertising cookie consent starts denied. You can accept or reject optional cookies using the banner, and change your choice at any time using Cookie settings in the footer.
We use Google Analytics to understand website use and improve the service. Our Google Consent Mode setup may send limited cookieless measurement signals when optional consent is denied. Accepting optional cookies enables the relevant Google consent settings. See the Google Privacy Policy for information about Google’s processing.
We use Microsoft Clarity for heatmaps, session recordings and information about interactions such as clicks and scrolling. These help us find problems and improve navigation. Clarity is configured with Balanced masking to hide sensitive text; this is not a guarantee that all information displayed on a page is hidden.
Clarity cookies are disabled by default and enabled when you accept optional cookies, allowing visits across pages to be linked into a session. Withdrawing consent removes those cookies. Without consent, Clarity may still collect limited cookieless usage information without linking page views through cookies. Rejecting optional cookies does not mean that all requests to Google or Microsoft stop. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement for information about Microsoft’s processing.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your information is used to:
- Provide personalized contest listings based on your location.
- Manage your contest entries and preferences.
- Improve our Website and services.
- Communicate with you about your account or contests you’ve entered.
- Ensure the security of our Website.
3. User-Generated Content
Our website allows users to comment on contests. These comments are considered user-generated content. Please be aware that any information you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them. To request removal of your personal information from our community, contact us at [email protected]. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your personal information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.
4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, data analysis, and customer service. Google and Microsoft process analytics information as described in their privacy policies linked above.
Contest Reminder helps you discover and track third-party contests; the sponsors operate those contests and their entry forms under their own privacy policies.
5. Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. You can manage your information and contest preferences through your account settings on our Website. If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected].
We do not automatically delete accounts after a set period of inactivity. To request deletion of your account or personal information, email [email protected].
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet-based site can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
7. International Data Transfers
For users outside the United States, we comply with applicable laws regarding the transfer of personal data across borders to ensure your information is protected adequately wherever it may be processed.
8. Children’s Privacy
Our Website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post the updated policy on our Website and update the “Last Updated” date accordingly.
