Personal data may be processed in the United States and other countries. Participants’ materials may be provided to the international jury solely for the purpose of judging.

We use secure servers, HTTPS, access restrictions, secure databases, and Stripe for payment processing. However, no method of transmission or storage is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights, we will notify the competent authorities and affected users as required by applicable law (for example, within 72 hours under the GDPR).
