Deities Design Awards (“DDA”, “we”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect your personal information in connection with the awards platform and this website.
We collect information you provide directly when you register, submit an entry, contact us or subscribe to our communications. This includes your name, email address, phone number, city and country organisation name and submission content including images and design statements. We also collect standard website usage data including page views, browser type and referring URLs through analytics tools.
Your personal information is used to administer your entry and communicate with you about the awards process, including confirmation emails, shortlist notifications and results announcements. We also use your information to send you DDA updates and communications where you have opted in. Images and creative content submitted as part of your entry may be used for DDA’s editorial, promotional and archival purposes as described in our Terms and Conditions.
We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share your information with jury members and evaluation partners solely for the purpose of administering the awards. We may also share information with service providers who assist in operating our platform, under strict confidentiality obligations.
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including for legal, accounting and reporting obligations. Entry records and associated images may be retained indefinitely for archival purposes with your consent as described in our Terms and Conditions.
You have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information held by DDA. You may also withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time. To exercise these rights, please contact us at info@deitiesdesignawards.com.
This website uses essential cookies to enable core functionality. We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our site and improve the user experience. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect website functionality. We do not use cookies for targeted advertising.
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. However, no internet transmission is completely secure and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.
For participants in the European Economic Area, we process personal data on the basis of legitimate interest (awards administration) and consent (marketing communications). You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Entry fees are non-refundable once a submission has entered preliminary screening. If a submission is rejected before preliminary screening due to a technical error on DDA’s part, a full refund will be issued. All refund requests must be made within 30 days of submission by contacting info@deitiesdesignawards.com.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to registered participants via email. Continued use of the website or the submission platform after changes have been made constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
