Personally Identifiable Information collected by VOTE.co.uk and how it is used.
On the VOTE.co.uk website, personally identifiable information is collected by specifically requesting it from you. You can choose whether or not to disclose personal information to VOTE.co.uk. VOTE.co.uk requests only an email address and postcode from its voters. The email address is first electronically validated by VOTE.co.uk sending an email to the address. Then, the email address is manually validated as the voter must receive the email and mouse click on a link within it to become a fully authenticated user of the VOTE.co.uk website. The postcode is validated by comparing it to a commercially available list.
The vote results are tablulated for display to voters and for forwarding to interested parties such as politicians, pressure groups and government departments. Your email address and postcode will be sent with your vote for verification purposes only. We will not disclose your vote to any parties other than those specifically named in the voting box. We never tell advertisers how an individual voted. Targeted mailings may be sent to voters who took certain positions on certain votes, but these will be sent to you by www.vote.co.uk, and not by third parties.
VOTE.co.uk will not disclose your personally identifiable information without your permission unless we need to do so in order to comply with applicable law, a subpoena, or other legal process or to protect the safety of other voters or the public.
