Privacy notice
What we collect
When you vote we collect your name, email address and phone number, along with technical information needed to keep the vote fair — a browser identifier and coarse network signals. We do not use invasive device fingerprinting.
Why we need it
To validate your vote, to stop the same person voting twice for the same business, and to keep an audit trail of the results.
Marketing
Marketing choices are separate, optional and never pre-ticked. You can vote without agreeing to any of them, and you can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe link in any message.
How long we keep it
Voting records are retained for the duration of the awards year plus a defined retention period for audit purposes, after which personal details are removed.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Where deletion would compromise the integrity of the vote, we remove your personal details and keep an anonymous record of the vote itself.
