Privacy & Cookie Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide when you register (e.g. username, email, profile details), when you submit talents or products, when you vote, and when you contact us.

On public pages we also measure the audience. For each visit we store the page address, the type of page, a country code, how long the tab stayed visible, and a random identifier in a first-party cookie. The IP address is used only to derive the country and is not stored. A visit is linked to your account only when you are signed in and have turned on data analytics consent. Turning that consent off removes the account link from measurements already stored.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to run the platform (e.g. accounts, competitions, voting, leaderboards), to send transactional and service-related messages, and, where you have consented, for marketing and account-linked analytics as described in your consent preferences.

Audience measurement shows which public pages are used and which country visits come from, so we can improve the site. It stays on our servers and is not sold. You can turn it off on the audience measurement page. Linking a visit to your account happens only with analytics consent.

3. Consent and Preferences

You can manage marketing, analytics, and other consent options in your profile and consent settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

4. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with service providers (e.g. hosting, payment processing) and where required by law. Competition organisers and sponsors may see information related to submissions and votes as needed to run competitions.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies that are required to sign you in, to protect forms, and to remember preferences such as dark mode. A separate first-party cookie supports audience measurement. If you opt out, we store that choice in a cookie and stop measuring. You can change the choice on the audience measurement page. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

6. Data Retention and Security

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service and comply with legal obligations. We take reasonable steps to protect your data against unauthorised access and loss.

7. Your Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict your data, or to object to processing. Use your account and consent settings, or contact us to exercise these rights.
