Privacy Policy

At Tourise 2025 Awards, we are committed to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you engage with our website, nomination process, or any services related to the Tourise 2025 Awards. We believe transparency builds trust, and we aim to be clear about how your data is handled.

Information Collection

When you interact with our platform—whether by visiting the website, submitting a nomination, contacting us, or attending an event—we may collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, job title, organization, biography, and any media or documentation submitted as part of your application. We may also collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and site usage data through cookies or analytics tools.

How We Use Your Information

We collect this information to manage all aspects of the Tourise 2025 Awards, including verifying eligibility, processing nominations, contacting participants, promoting winners and nominees, and improving the overall user experience. Your contact details may be used to send important updates about deadlines, selection stages, or upcoming events related to the Awards. Additionally, we may use anonymized data for reporting or analytical purposes to evaluate the reach and impact of the Awards program.

Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may share limited data with partners, sponsors, judges, or service providers who are directly involved in delivering the Awards experience. These parties are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations. In some cases, nominee names, company names, images, or quotes may be used for marketing or promotional materials if you give us permission or as part of the Awards publicity. We may also disclose information when legally required to comply with applicable laws or protect the rights and safety of participants.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and tracking technologies to provide a better browsing experience and collect insights into visitor behavior. These tools help us understand which content is most viewed, how users navigate the site, and where improvements are needed. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, although this may limit certain features on the website.

Data Storage and Security

All collected data is stored securely and only accessed by authorized members of the organizing team or our approved partners. We use encryption, secure servers, and other technical and organizational measures to safeguard your information. However, no internet-based platform is 100% secure, and while we do our best, we cannot guarantee absolute protection from cyber threats.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, update, or request deletion of your personal data. If you wish to modify the information we hold or request that we no longer use it, please contact us at [Insert Contact Email]. We will respond to all requests in a timely and respectful manner in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

Policy Updates

This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in the Awards process, technology, or legal requirements. When updates occur, we will post the revised version here with a new effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your data.
