Who is responsible
AIContestList.com is operated by AIContestList. For privacy questions or requests, use the contact page and choose “Something else”.
What we collect
When you submit a competition: the competition details you enter, your name and your email address. The editorial team is notified by email that a new submission is waiting.
When you report an update: the correction you describe, any source link, and your email address only if you choose to add it.
When you contact us: your name, email address and message. Contact messages are delivered by email to the editorial team and are not stored in the site’s database.
When you browse: like almost every website, our hosting servers keep technical logs (such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested) to deliver pages, keep the site secure and diagnose problems.
Why we use it
- To review submitted competitions and reported corrections, and to ask you a follow-up question if needed.
- To reply to your message.
- To protect the forms from spam. We count recent submissions per connection using a one-way hash of your IP address; the hash is discarded within an hour and is never stored with what you send.
- To keep your answers if a form needs a correction. When something needs fixing, what you typed is held for up to 15 minutes so the form can show it again, then discarded.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not publish your name or email address.
Cookies and analytics
Visitors do not need an account, and the site does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. WordPress sets functional cookies only for editors who sign in to manage the site.
The site does not use analytics services, advertising networks or third-party embeds that set cookies. If that changes, this section will name each service, what it collects and how to opt out before it goes live.
How long we keep it
Submissions and reports are kept while they are reviewed and for as long as they are useful as an editorial record of where a listing’s information came from. Contact data inside them is deleted on request. Server logs are kept for the period set by our hosting provider.
Who can see it
Only the AIContestList editorial team can view submissions and reports. Service providers that host the site or deliver email process data on our behalf.
Your choices
You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information you sent us. Use the contact page and tell us which form you used and roughly when. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to object to processing or to complain to a data protection authority.
Changes to this policy
When this policy changes, the “Last updated” date at the top of the page changes too.
