Privacy

What we collect, why, who sees it, and what we will never do with it. Short, because the answer is short.

What we collect
For nominations: the agency and initiative details you enter, your name, role, organisation and email. For the ceremony and newsletter: name, email and optionally organisation. Standard server logs. No advertising or cross-site trackers, and no third-party analytics that profile you across sites.
Why
To administer the awards, verify entries, tell you the outcome, and send the ceremony link. Nothing else.
Who sees it
Programme staff who screen entries. Judges see entries with your identity and the agency's identity removed, and never see your contact details. Sponsors never receive any of it.
What we publish
If an entry places: the agency name, jurisdiction, category and your one-sentence description. Never your name, email or any other field.
Sales use
Your details are not passed to CityData.AI's sales team as a lead source and no sales activity is triggered by a nomination or an award. This is a published policy with a technical control behind it, described on the independence page.
Retention
Entries and outcomes are kept indefinitely as programme records, because the roll is permanent. Contact details are kept until you ask us to remove them.
Your rights
Access, correction, deletion, portability and objection, wherever you are — we apply the strongest applicable standard rather than the minimum. Write to privacy@govten.com and we will act within thirty days.
Drafts on your device
The nomination form saves an unfinished draft in your own browser so you can come back to it. That draft never leaves your device until you submit, and clearing it is a button on the form.
Public records
If you write to us from a government address, your side of that correspondence may be a public record in your jurisdiction. We write on that assumption.
