Privacy

Anonymous voting

Voting requires no account, name, or email. To keep the ballot box honest (one vote per juror per exhibit), we set a random identifier (a UUID) in a browser cookie and remember your vote in your browser’s local storage. This identifier is random — it is not your name, email, or device fingerprint, and we do not use it to track you across other sites.

When you vote, we record an approximate country (a two-letter code like “BR”, derived by our hosting provider from your connection) to show how verdicts differ around the world. Your IP address itself is never stored, and the country code is approximate by nature.

Email

If you choose to subscribe, we store your email address, the exhibit you subscribed from, and your consent, and use it only to notify you about new exhibits. Unsubscribe anytime by replying to any email.

Analytics

We log basic, anonymous product events (votes cast, shares clicked) to understand what the jury cares about. No third-party ad trackers.

We also use Google Analytics to measure overall traffic (pages visited, where visitors come from). Google Analytics sets its own cookies. If you are visiting from the EU/EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, it loads only if you accept the cookie notice — decline and it never loads. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy.

Alongside those events we also record an anonymous session identifier, the same random juror identifier used for ballot integrity (so we can tell that votes and return visits belong to the same anonymous browser), the campaign or share link parameters you arrived with (utm/share codes), a coarse device type (mobile or desktop), which exhibit opened your visit, and whether your browser has visited before — never names, accounts, or cross-site tracking.
