What Information We Collect and Why
We collect a minimal amount of personal data to operate our website and provide our services. The specific types of data we collect are as follows:
a) Data for Fan Voting (IP Addresses)
What we collect: When you participate in a fan vote on our Site, we collect your Internet Protocol (IP) address.
How we use it: We do not store your IP address in its original format. It is immediately converted into an irreversible cryptographic hash. This hash is a unique string of characters that represents your IP address without revealing it.
Why we collect it (Legal Basis): We process this data based on our Legitimate Interest to ensure the integrity of our voting system. The hash allows us to verify that a vote has been cast from a unique source and to prevent fraudulent or multiple votes, ensuring a fair outcome. We cannot identify you personally from this stored hash.
b) Website Analytics (via Jetpack)
What we collect: We use the Jetpack service from Automattic Inc. to understand our website traffic. Jetpack collects information about visitors, which may include:
IP address
User agent (browser type)
Referring URL
Country code
Pages visited and timestamp of events
Why we collect it (Legal Basis): We process this data based on our Legitimate Interest to analyze website performance, understand user behavior, and improve our content and user experience. This helps us understand which content is popular and where our audience is coming from.
Third-Party Processor: The data for analytics is collected and processed by Automattic Inc. (the company behind Jetpack). For more information, please see Automattic’s Privacy Policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/

How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.
Hashed IP Addresses for Voting: The hashes are retained for the duration of the specific voting period and a short, reasonable period thereafter for verification and auditing purposes. After this period, they are securely and permanently deleted.
