In order to offer our customers The Lott app for iOS and Android, we must comply with App Store and Google Play guidelines.
The current guidelines state that 'Apps that offer lotteries must have necessary licensing and permissions in the locations where the App is used, must be geo-restricted to those locations, and must be free on the App Store.'
Based on these guidelines, and as the official licensed lottery operator across all of Australia's States and Territories excluding Western Australia, we are required to request your location when using The Lott app to ensure you are physically located within one of our approved jurisdictions.
Your location data is not used by The Lott app in any other way other than to meet this requirement. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the privacy of your data please refer to our Privacy Policy or contact our Privacy Officer at privacy@tabcorp.com.au
