Who we are
CSS Awards is an independent website awards platform. For privacy questions or rights requests, contact us through the contact page.
Information we collect
We collect information you provide when submitting a website, contacting us, applying to judge, creating an account, or paying for a service.
- Name, email, role, company, and country
- Website, studio, creator, and project credit information
- Submission status and payment references
- Technical logs, device data, and security events
- Voting and account activity where those features are available
How we use information
We use personal information to deliver submissions, publish agreed credits, operate accounts, respond to messages, prevent abuse, improve the platform, and meet legal obligations.
Our lawful bases may include contract, legitimate interests, consent, and legal obligation, depending on the purpose.
Public profiles and credits
Selected website, studio, judge, and designer information may be published as part of the permanent archive. We only intend to publish professional information relevant to the credited work.
Retention
We retain account, transaction, submission, and communication records only for as long as needed for the relevant purpose, legal requirements, dispute handling, and platform integrity. Public award records may remain available as an archive.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to, or export personal information, and to withdraw consent. Contact us to make a request. We may need to verify your identity first.
Security and changes
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security. We may update this policy as the platform or applicable requirements change.
