Effective Date: January 2026
The Electoral Commission of Bethelinter Academy ("EC," "we," "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of all students, staff, and stakeholders who use this voting platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information.
1. Information We Collect
- Student ID: Used to verify your identity and eligibility to vote.
- Voting Record: A record that you have voted (not who you voted for).
- Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and access timestamps for security auditing.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
We do not link your identity to your ballot choices. Your vote is completely anonymous. No one — including EC administrators, teachers, or prefects — can see how any individual voted.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To verify your eligibility to vote in school elections.
- To prevent double voting (each student may vote only once per election).
- To maintain the integrity and security of the electoral process.
- To generate anonymous aggregate statistics (e.g., voter turnout).
4. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Access to voter data is strictly limited to authorized EC personnel.
5. Data Retention
Voting records are retained for the duration of the academic year plus one additional year for audit purposes. After this period, records are securely deleted.
6. Your Rights
- You have the right to know what data we hold about you.
- You may request correction of inaccurate information.
- You may contact the EC office with any privacy concerns.
7. Third-Party Access
We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties. Data remains strictly within the Electoral Commission of Bethelinter Academy.
