The Top 10 Pony Videos - Privacy Policy

Privacy Information

This website, YouTube, and the voting form are all hosted by Google. Check out their own privacy policy. You may also wish to read Discord's privacy policy if you plan to participate in our server.
The following information only applies to what is collected by the Google Form for voting purposes. It does not apply to Google's own privacy policy or any other third-party.

This page may change and be updated over time.

Last updated - May 31st: Minor wording and readability updates. Removed speculative unimplemented mention of email notifications. December 4th: Paragraph structure, wording, and clarity. Also, added this "last updated" section.

Your Google email is private.

Google changed the appearance of forms to show your account email near the top of the form. This email is NOT submitted and NOT included with your vote. You are welcome to participate anonymously. Only the contact information you enter into the bottom field is included with your vote and it is entirely optional. Details below.

What's collected?

Each of the 5-10 voting fields, which should be links of your chosen video votes as per the rules.
Any contact information provided, if any is entered at all.
Metadata such as the time and date of voting.
On rare occasions, other information such as that of a survey.

How is voter information stored and used?

Votes

Votes are saved indefinitely for future rankings, statistics, and reference.
This includes any information you enter into vote fields, statistical information such as the total number of voters, and metadata such as the time/date of voting.
This information is regularly shared and should be considered public. Do not enter any private information into vote fields.

Contact info

Providing contact info is completely optional and you're free to leave this field blank.
Voter-provided contact info is saved alongside each vote, but is not shared during vote tallies.
This optional information makes it possible to keep track of regular voters and help detect suspicious votes. Including consistent contact information makes it much less likely for your vote to be marked as suspicious.
Voters will never be blacklisted or penalized based on contact info alone. Obviously, that could be a vector for a bad actor to abuse otherwise.
Keeping track of regular voters enables the possibility to consider them as future hosts or as knowledgeable individuals to privately contact about pony video matters. It also enables the possibility to locate, troubleshoot, and/or correct votes with the voter's cooperation.
General volunteers and guest presenters will not have access to the collected contact information. Only the current [or potential future] host will have access. As mentioned, voters may be privately contacted in special circumstances, but this will never be shared broadly or used for bulk messaging without consent [except where required by law or other exceedingly exceptional circumstances.]

Special cases such as surveys

Sometimes the form may ask for other information such as that of a survey.
Results of the survey will be saved alongside votes similar to the way contact info is, but unlike contact info, the survey results may be shared with the general public.
Do not enter any private information on surveys.

Where can I learn more?

If you have any questions feel free to stop by our Discord server for general help from the community or contact the current host LittleshyFiM directly.
