This Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how Google OAuth and email verification fit into your use of eVotes.
We may collect information you provide directly, information received through Google OAuth, and information generated by your use of the platform.
We use collected information to authenticate users, verify identity, enable secure access, send notices, maintain audit trails, operate the platform, prevent abuse, and meet legal or compliance obligations.
Email is required for account verification and service communication. We may send verification links, login notices, security alerts, receipts, and other account-related messages to the verified email address on file.
If you sign in with Google, we receive information that Google makes available to us under the permissions you approve. We use that information only to authenticate you, link your account, and support secure login. Your use of Google OAuth is also subject to Google's own policies.
Voting events, receipts, timestamps, and audit logs may be retained as part of platform operation and compliance requirements. These records help verify integrity, support dispute handling, and satisfy legal or regulatory obligations.
We do not sell personal information. We may share information only with service providers acting on our behalf, such as hosting, email delivery, authentication, analytics, or support providers, or when required by law, regulation, or legal process.
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including account maintenance, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and recordkeeping. Some records may need to be retained for longer periods due to regulatory requirements.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You may choose not to provide certain information, but that may limit your ability to use parts of the service. You can also contact us to request account assistance or to ask questions about your stored data, subject to applicable law and verification requirements.
The service is not intended for children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
If you have questions about this Policy or your account data, contact us at [email protected].
