Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

What We Collect

When you participate in our photo survey, we collect the following information:

• Anonymized Identifier: A cryptographic hash of your IP address. This is not your actual IP address and cannot be used to identify you directly.
• Voting Data: Your photo preferences (most favorite and least favorite selections).
• Timestamp: When each vote was submitted.

Why We Collect It

We collect this minimal data for the following purposes:

• To record and tally photo preferences for the survey results.
• To detect and prevent voting manipulation or abuse.
• To understand general voting patterns (not individual behavior).

What We Don't Collect

We do not collect:

• Your name or contact information
• Your actual IP address (only a one-way hash)
• Cookies or tracking data
• Any other personal information

Data Storage and Security

Your anonymized voting data is stored securely on our servers. The hashed identifier we use cannot be reversed to reveal your original IP address.

Data Retention

Voting data is retained for the duration of the survey. After the survey concludes, data may be deleted or retained in aggregate, anonymized form for analysis.

Your Rights

Since we only collect anonymized data that cannot directly identify you, traditional data subject rights (access, correction, deletion) are difficult to apply. However, if you have concerns about your participation, you may simply choose not to vote.

Third Parties

We do not sell, share, or disclose your voting data to any third parties.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date.
