This section covers voting on the Offline Hot List. It adds to the rest of this Policy, which also applies.
What we collect:
- Your email address, which you enter to sign in and vote. We keep it with the date you signed up and the date you were last active.
- Your votes: which places you voted for, and on which day. Vote totals are shown publicly; who voted for what is not.
- Your IP address when you request a sign-in code. We use it only to limit how many codes can be sent and to check for bots.
- A sign-in cookie (hl_voter) that keeps you signed in for one year. It is HttpOnly and secure, and it is not used for tracking or advertising.
How we use it:
- To email you a 6-digit sign-in code. The code expires after 10 minutes.
