How it works
From sweepstakes entry to verified luxury buyer file
Every HottestData record starts with a real person entering a sweepstakes campaign and choosing to opt in, then gains a purchase history from our network partners. Here is the full path a lead travels before it reaches you.
The process
Seven steps, one consent trail
We keep the chain of custody intact so you can always answer the two questions every buyer asks: where did this contact come from, and have they ever actually spent money?
- 1
A consumer enters a sweepstakes campaign
Traffic reaches a sweepstakes or prize-giveaway landing page — a cash giveaway, gift card draw, lottery-style prize or product bundle. The page states the prize, the sponsor and the terms before anything is submitted.
- 2
They submit their own details
The entrant types their name, email address, phone number and postal details into the entry form. Nothing is appended from third-party files and nothing is scraped: the consumer is the source of every field.
- 3
They explicitly opt in to partner offers
Before submitting, the entrant ticks or confirms a clearly worded consent statement agreeing to be contacted by the sponsor and its marketing partners about relevant offers. The exact wording shown to them is stored with the record.
- 4
Consent evidence is captured
At the moment of submission we record the timestamp, IP address, user agent, source URL and campaign identifier, alongside the verbatim consent language. That trail travels with the lead.
- 5
Luxury purchase history is matched from our partner network
Our networking partners and distribution partners supply purchase activity for consumers who have bought luxury goods and services from them — travel and cruises, jewellery and watches, high-end home, wellness, premium electronics, concierge memberships and automotive. Where that activity matches an opt-in record, we attach the purchase category, recency and spend band, so you are buying proven spenders rather than untested names.
- 6
The record is verified and cleaned
Email syntax and MX records are checked, phone formats are normalised and line types validated where available, duplicates are removed, and known complainers, hard bounces and suppression entries are stripped out.
- 7
You receive the file by email
Once we agree the segment, volume and data age, we prepare the file as CSV or XLSX and send a secure download link to your inbox. Ongoing orders can be scheduled daily, weekly or monthly.
What we do not do
No scraped lists, no appended files, no recycled junk
A large part of the sweepstakes data market is repackaged, scraped or appended data with no verifiable consent. That data burns sending domains and wastes call time.
No scraping
We never harvest contact details from websites, social profiles or public directories.
No blind appending
We don't bolt phone numbers or emails onto records the consumer never provided.
No hidden consent
The opt-in statement is visible on the entry form, not buried in a footer or pre-checked in the dark.
