Giveaways
Romanceopoly offers some giveaways throughout the year. These are all entered by posting on your social media accounts and using a hashtag. We don’t collect any personal information by you entering the giveaways as the entries are on your account.
Some giveaways are sponsored by a third party (publisher). When this is the case it will be stated in the giveaway so you are aware before entering. We will share the winner(s) information only with the third party. This will be for the purpose of collecting the prize.
If you are a winner, you will be first contacted via the social media account you used to enter and then we will ask you for further personal information such as a mailing address so we can send you the prize. Once you have confirmed you have received your prize or after 3 months has passed whichever is first, this information will be deleted.
By entering the giveaways you are giving Romanceopoly or when applicable the third party consent to contact you as described above.
