Privacy policy
Vote For President is a registered brand name of World Referendum Services (WRS), registered with the Chamber of Commerce in Amsterdam. WRS respects the privacy of our registered users. Any and all information collected through our system is treated with the utmost care.
WRS's Privacy Guarantee WRS asks voters to voluntarily supply various personal data, such as e-mail address, gender and age. We use this data only for statistical purposes. Never at any time will it be possible to track back an individual vote to these data.
We will only release personally identifiable information to third parties and organisations in order to comply with the law or to protect against fraud. We will also release such information to cooperate with law enforcement or other governmental investigations (without necessarily requiring the requesting law enforcement or government agency to formally serve us with a subpoena), comply with all valid court orders or subpoenas, protect the legal rights of us and our users, or when we believe it is needed for fraud protection and/or credit risk reduction.
Except for the circumstances set forth in the previous paragraph, we will not knowingly distribute personal information to be used in mailing lists, surveys, or any other purpose other than what is required to perform our voting services. We do hold the right to inform registered users about other global voting initiatives.
How does WRS protect customer information? People who vote through the WRS system are voting on a secure server, which encrypts all of the customer's personal information. Encryption ensures that no one can access or use personal information in an unauthorized manner.
Our system was developed in-house with security as its number one priority. This single entry point allows WRS to maintain the tightest access control - eliminating (rather than closing) the backdoor.
WRS has made an investment in protecting our voters' information utilizing the following technologies:
- Firewall
- Firewalls allow the use of authenticated access and can prevent certain types of traffic from entering the private network. Customizing the firewall according to the network topology is essential to having a useful firewall protection mechanism.
- SSL (Secure Socket Layers)
- Because we accept personal information from end-users, WRS's site uses SSL. This logic encrypts the data being sent to the server from the browser using high-level encryption technology. Once the data is received from voters on the WRS Network, it may be required that the data be maintained for a certain period of time inside our private network. Encrypting the data means it cannot be viewed in plain text.
What about cookies? "Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. WRS's cookies are used only to identify you, not to identify any specific customer traits. These cookies do not store sensitive data. This enables a better voting experience with WRS and prevents you to vote more than once.
