Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your personal information when you interact with our platform.

- Voting Data: Your participation in voting events (e.g., votes cast) may be linked to your account where applicable.
- Payment Information: If you make purchases on our platform (e.g., event tickets or premium features), we collect billing details such as credit card numbers and billing addresses through third-party payment processors.
- Technical Data: IP addresses, browser type, operating system, device information, and usage data collected via cookies or similar technologies.

2. How We Use Personal Information
We use the collected data for the following purposes:
- To create and manage user accounts.

- To send transactional emails (e.g., confirmations of votes cast or purchases made).
- To improve our platform’s functionality by analyzing user behavior and preferences.

3. How Long Personal Data Is Stored
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy:

5. How We Protect Personal Data
We implement industry-standard security measures to safeguard your personal information:
- Encryption protocols (SSL/TLS) for secure transmission of sensitive data like payment details.
- Regular security audits and updates to prevent unauthorized access.
- Restricted access controls ensuring only authorized personnel can access sensitive information.
While we strive to protect all user data, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure; therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience:
- Session cookies: To maintain login sessions during visits.
- Analytical cookies: To track website performance metrics using tools like Google Analytics.
- Marketing cookies: For personalized advertising campaigns (if applicable).

9. Payment Processing
All payments on EVENTWIZE are processed through third-party providers such as Stripe or PayPal that comply with PCI DSS standards for secure handling of financial transactions.
