Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2026

1. Introduction

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you strictly participate in our voting platform.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the minimum amount of data necessary to ensure the integrity and fairness of the voting process. This includes:

  • Anonymized IP Address: We verify IP addresses to prevent duplicate voting, but they are immediately hashed (cryptographically disguised) upon receipt. We do not store raw IP addresses.
  • Device Fingerprint: We use technical identifiers to distinguish between unique devices, ensuring that each person only votes once per session.
  • Voting Data: Your selected preferences, nickname (if provided), and traffic source (e.g., country or organization) are stored to calculate results.

3. How We Use Your Data

  • To process and count your vote accurately.
  • To detect and prevent fraudulent activities such as ballot stuffing or bot voting.
  • To display aggregate voting results publicly.

4. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data. This includes encryption (hashing) of sensitive identifiers and secure database storage.

5. Cookies

We use cookies (small text files stored on your device) to maintain the integrity of the voting process. These are "strictly necessary" cookies used to:

  • Prevent duplicate voting from the same browser.
  • Maintain your session status.

By using this platform, you agree to the placement of these cookies.

6. Third-Party Services

We do not use any third-party services, analytics, or tracking tools. All data processing happens directly on our secure servers to ensure maximum privacy and control.

7. Your Rights (GDPR)

You have the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data. However, as we primarily process anonymized data (hashed IPs) and do not require personal accounts, our ability to identify specific users is limited. Strategies to unlink your data are available upon request.
