App Privacy Policy

In short: UK 49s Live Results has no accounts and no analytics. The numbers you save stay on your phone and are never sent to us. We do not receive any identifier that would let us recognise your device. The app shows advertising supplied by Google, and it can send you notifications — both are described below, and both are yours to switch off.

Last updated 17 August 2026. This policy covers the mobile app “UK 49s Live Results” for Android and iOS. The website privacy policy covers 49s.live itself.

1. What we do not collect

We do not ask for, and have no way to receive, your name, email address, phone number, date of birth or payment details. There is no sign-up and no account. The app contains no analytics or crash-reporting service, and it never sends data about how you use it. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information, because we do not hold any.

The app also has nothing to do with betting. It does not take stakes, does not track winnings and has no connection to any bookmaker.

2. What stays on your phone

The following are stored in the app's own private storage on your device and are never transmitted to us or to anyone else:

  • Number sets you save. Checking them against a draw happens entirely on your phone. A result arrives, your phone compares it locally, and only your phone ever knows what your numbers are.
  • Your settings — which draws you want notified about, light or dark theme, and the order numbers are displayed in.
  • A copy of recent results, so the app opens with something to show when you have no signal.
  • A record of which results have already alerted you, so you are not told the same thing twice.

Deleting the app removes all of it. You can also clear saved numbers individually inside the app at any time.

3. What leaves your phone, and to whom

a. Our servers

The app requests published draw results and historical results from our server at api.49s.live. These requests only ask for lottery results — they carry nothing about you and nothing you have saved.

As with any internet request, our web server records standard technical log entries, which include the IP address the request came from, the time, and which results were requested. These logs exist to keep the service running and secure, are not used to build any profile, and are not combined with anything else to identify you.

b. Google — notifications

Notifications are delivered through Firebase Cloud Messaging, a Google service. So that Google can deliver a message to your device, Google issues your installation a push token. That token is held by Google, not by us.

This is worth being precise about: we send notifications to topics — broadcast channels such as “Teatime results” — and your app subscribes itself to the topics you have chosen. We never receive, request or store your device's token or any other device identifier, so we have no list of devices and no way to single yours out.

Notifications are optional. You can decline the permission when asked, change which draws notify you inside the app, or turn notifications off entirely in your phone's system settings. The app works fully without them.

c. Google — advertising

The app is free and is funded by advertising supplied by Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, and to limit how often the same ad is repeated, Google may process your device's advertising identifier, approximate location inferred from your IP address, and technical details such as your device model and operating system version. Google acts as an independent controller of that data; how it is handled is described in Google's privacy and terms.

We do not receive this data. We see only aggregate earnings reports, which contain no information about individuals.

4. Your choices about advertising

  • Consent. Where privacy law requires a choice about personalised advertising, the app shows Google's consent form before requesting any ad, and respects your answer. You can reopen that form at any time from the app's Settings screen.
  • iPhone and iPad. iOS asks separately for permission to track. Declining is respected, and everything in the app continues to work exactly the same. You can change it later under Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
  • Android. You can reset or delete your advertising ID under Settings › Google › Ads.

Declining personalised ads does not restrict any feature. You will still see ads; they will simply be less specific to you.

5. Children

This app publishes lottery results and statistics about past draws, and is not intended for children. It is not directed at anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

6. How long anything is kept

What is on your device stays there until you remove it or uninstall the app. Server access logs are kept only as long as needed to operate and secure the service, and are then rotated and deleted. Data held by Google for notifications and advertising is retained according to Google's own policies.

7. Your rights

Under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), and under the UK and EU GDPR where they apply to you, you have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to its processing.

In practice, we hold no personal information about app users, so in most cases there will be nothing for us to return or erase. For anything Google holds through its notification or advertising services, those requests are best directed to Google using the links above — but write to us and we will help you find the right route.

8. Changes to this policy

If the app's data practices change, this page is updated and the date at the top changes with it. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.

9. Contact

Questions about this policy, or about privacy in the app, can be sent to info@49s.live and we will reply.
