Privacy Policy

Introduction

VoteClick, a company operating in Ireland, complies with EU regulations and GDPR guidelines regarding privacy notices.

This policy outlines the personal data associated with your account and how we safeguard and utilize it.

We periodically update this policy, with the latest revision made on October 10th, 2024.

Personal Data

In the context of voting, personal data primarily includes voters' names and contact information that you upload to your VoteClick account, as well as the voting results.

In this section, we outline how we safeguard this data and how it is used.

First, let's clarify what we do not do:

To enhance privacy, we also take the following measures:

Retention

Since some of our clients might not consistently back up their account data, we guarantee to retain vote results and voter lists for a minimum of one year.

However, you can choose to delete both voter lists and vote results at your discretion, giving you full control over your data.

Implicit Data Collection

At VoteClick, we prioritize your privacy and are committed to transparency in our data collection practices. As a result, we do not use cookies or other tracking technologies of our own to gather personal information without your knowledge or consent.

During registration, your account's time zone is automatically configured to align with your current time zone. Should you wish to change this setting, you can do so via the "Settings" page.

We maintain a record of all activities within your account in an Activity Log, which is preserved for one week. This log is solely used for enhancing the user experience and is never shared with third parties.

Communication

We will send you email notifications that are vital for managing your account, including those related to administration and usage. We do not employ email for marketing purposes.

Since these messages are essential for account management, the only method to cease receiving them is to close your voting account.

Your Privacy Rights

As a VoteClick user, you are entitled to:

Upon your request to terminate your account, we will delete your account and the associated data.

Nevertheless, be aware that we may retain some or all of the information to prevent fraud, support investigations, comply with legal obligations, and enforce our Terms of Use.

Storage

AWS is a leading cloud-based infrastructure provider, trusted by thousands of companies globally, including major organizations in industries such as healthcare, finance, and government.
