Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: October 14, 2024

Welcome to The World Vote Project. By accessing and using this website, you agree to the following terms and conditions. These Terms of Use govern your participation in voting, interactions with the site, and any future services or communications from us.

1. Voting and Data Usage

  • One Vote Per Person: You may only vote once in each election or poll. We use email validation and other methods to ensure that each vote is unique. If multiple votes are detected from the same email, only the first vote will be counted.

  • Email Validation: You must provide a valid email address to validate your vote. This email will be used solely for the purpose of ensuring each person only votes once, unless you provide additional consent for future communications.

  • Anonymity and Data Usage: While we do not collect your name, we collect and store your email address, voting choices, and optional demographic information (e.g., age, gender, country, religion). This data will be stored securely in our database. We may use anonymized and aggregated data (e.g., voting trends by age group, country, or gender) for reporting purposes, but no identifiable information will be tied to these reports. You may opt out of future communications at any time by contacting us at [email protected].

  • Consent for Future Polls & Communications: By participating, you can consent to receiving future communications, polls, or offers based on your voting preferences or demographic data. This will only happen with your explicit consent, and you may withdraw this consent at any time.

2. Donations

  • Purpose of Donations: All donations are used to support the operation and development of The World Vote Project. Donations are not used to support any political candidates or campaigns.

  • Payment Processing: Donations are processed by third-party payment providers (e.g., PayPal, Stripe), and The World Vote Project does not store your payment details. Please refer to the privacy policies of these third-party providers for more information.

  • No Refunds: Donations are considered final, and refunds are generally not provided unless a specific error occurred during processing. Please contact [email protected] if you have any concerns regarding your donation.

3. Privacy and Data Protection

  • Your Rights (GDPR, CCPA, and Global Data Protection): As part of our commitment to your privacy, you have the following rights:
    Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
    Right to Rectification: You may correct any inaccuracies in your data.
    Right to Deletion: You can request that we delete your personal information (e.g., your email), but this may invalidate your vote. Contact us at [email protected] to make such a request.
    Right to Object/Withdraw Consent: You can object to the processing of your data or withdraw consent for future communications at any time.
    Right to Opt-Out (CCPA): California residents can opt out of the sale of their personal data. However, The World Vote Project does not sell personal information.

  • Data Security: We take reasonable precautions to ensure the security of your personal information. While no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, we use industry-standard encryption and other safeguards to protect your data. If a data breach occurs, we will notify you promptly in compliance with applicable laws.

4. Sensitive Political Concerns

    We understand that some users may live in politically sensitive regions or have concerns about their political views being tracked. The World Vote Project does not ask for your full name, and your voting choices are kept anonymous. While we collect your email address to validate your vote, it will not be tied to your voting choices in any publicly accessible way.

5. User Conduct

  • Provide Accurate Information: You agree to provide accurate information (e.g., email address) when participating in The World Vote Project. You must ensure your contact information is current and accurate.

  • Respect Voting Integrity: You agree not to tamper with the voting process, attempt to vote multiple times, or interfere with the system. Any attempts to manipulate the results will result in suspension or permanent removal from the platform.

  • Security Compliance: You agree not to hack, scrape, or steal data from the site. Any such behavior will result in immediate suspension and may be reported to legal authorities.

6. Intellectual Property

  • Ownership: All content, design, text, graphics, and code on this site are the property of The World Vote Project and are protected by copyright and trademark laws. No material may be copied, reproduced, republished, downloaded, posted, or distributed without written permission.

    The World Vote Project may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency). We will comply with all legal obligations to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users and to meet applicable legal requirements.

10. Business Transfer and Ownership Change

    In the event that The World Vote Project undergoes a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of its assets, including its database and user information, we reserve the right to transfer user data as part of the transaction. Any acquirer or successor will remain bound by this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, continuing to uphold our commitments to your privacy and data protection. We will announce any change in ownership or control on our website, where you will have the opportunity to review any updates to our policies.
