Harrogate Voice polls
Polls on Harrogate Voice are powered by Suffrago, the polling platform operated by Suffrago Limited.
Harrogate Voice polls are open and anonymous. You do not need to create an account, subscribe to Suffrago or provide your name, email address or other personal details in order to vote.
Individual poll responses are not intended to identify participants. Poll results may be analysed and published in aggregate to show how people have responded to a question.
Information collected when you visit the website
Like most websites, limited technical information may be processed when you visit Harrogate Voice. This can include information about your browser or device, pages visited, interactions with the website and technical information required to operate and secure the site.
We may also collect anonymous or aggregated information about how the website and its polls are used.
If you contact us directly, we will process the information you choose to provide, such as your email address and the contents of your message, so that we can respond to your enquiry.
Cookies and analytics
Harrogate Voice uses cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the operation of the website.
With your consent, we also use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use Harrogate Voice. This may include information about visits, page interactions, browser and device type and approximate geographic information.
Non-essential analytics storage is subject to your consent. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies using the cookie controls displayed on the website and can change your preferences later.
Google Consent Mode is used to communicate your consent choices to Google services.
Why we process information
Where information is necessary to operate, maintain and secure Harrogate Voice, Suffrago Limited relies on its legitimate interests in providing and protecting the service.
Where non-essential analytics cookies or similar technologies are used, we rely on your consent.
Where you contact us directly, we process the information you provide on the basis of our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries and communicating with people who contact us.
We may also process information where necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
Service providers
Suffrago Limited uses third-party technology providers to operate Harrogate Voice. These include website hosting and infrastructure providers and, where you have consented to analytics, Google Analytics.
Where service providers process personal information on our behalf, we require information to be handled appropriately and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
International transfers
Some of our technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards are used where required by UK data protection law.
How long we keep information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet any applicable legal, regulatory or security requirements.
Information you provide when contacting us is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with your enquiry and any appropriate follow-up.
Analytics information is retained in accordance with the retention settings applied to our Google Analytics account.
Your rights
UK data protection law gives you certain rights in relation to your personal information. Depending on the circumstances, these may include the right to:
- request access to personal information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct inaccurate information;
- ask us to erase information in certain circumstances;
- ask us to restrict certain processing;
- object to certain processing;
- receive certain information in a portable format; and
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
To exercise your rights or ask a question about privacy, contact contact@suffrago.org.
Because Harrogate Voice polls are anonymous, we may not be able to identify a particular poll response as belonging to you.
Complaints
If you have concerns about how we handle your personal information, please contact us so that we can investigate.
You also have the right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator.
