        9. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
        Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

        Mobile Terms of Service

        The Giveaway Guys

        Last updated: April 14, 2023

        The The Giveaway Guys mobile message service (the "Service") is operated by The Online Giveaway Guys LTD (“The Giveaway Guys”, “we”, or “us”). Your use of the Service constitutes your agreement to these terms and conditions (“Mobile Terms”). We may modify or cancel the Service or any of its features without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify these Mobile Terms at any time and your continued use of the Service following the effective date of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of such changes.

        By consenting to The Giveaway Guys’s SMS/text messaging service, you agree to receive recurring SMS/text messages from and on behalf of The Giveaway Guys through your wireless provider to the mobile number you provided, even if your mobile number is registered on any state or federal Do Not Call list. Text messages may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or other technology. Service-related messages may include updates, alerts, and information (e.g., order updates, account alerts, etc.). Promotional messages may include promotions, specials, and other marketing offers (e.g., cart reminders).

        You understand that you do not have to sign up for this program in order to make any purchases, and your consent is not a condition of any purchase with The Giveaway Guys. Your participation in this program is completely voluntary.

        We do not charge for the Service, but you are responsible for all charges and fees associated with text messaging imposed by your wireless provider. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Check your mobile plan and contact your wireless provider for details. You are solely responsible for all charges related to SMS/text messages, including charges from your wireless provider.

        You may opt-out of the Service at any time. Text the single keyword command PYYC to TheGiveaway or click the unsubscribe link (where available) in any text message to cancel. You'll receive a one-time opt-out confirmation text message. No further messages will be sent to your mobile device, unless initiated by you. If you have subscribed to other The Giveaway Guys mobile message programs and wish to cancel, except where applicable law requires otherwise, you will need to opt out separately from those programs by following the instructions provided in their respective mobile terms.

        For Service support or assistance, email support@thegiveawayguys.co.uk.

        We may change any short code or telephone number we use to operate the Service at any time and will notify you of these changes. You acknowledge that any messages, including any PYYC requests, you send to a short code or telephone number we have changed may not be received and we will not be responsible for honoring requests made in such messages.

        The wireless carriers supported by the Service are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You agree to provide us with a valid mobile number. If you get a new mobile number, you will need to sign up for the program with your new number.

        To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that we will not be liable for failed, delayed, or misdirected delivery of any information sent through the Service, any errors in such information, and/or any action you may or may not take in reliance on the information or Service.

        We respect your right to privacy. To see how we collect and use your personal information, please see our Privacy Notice.
