What happens to personal data after an election

You have full control over your personal data, except where disclosure or retention is required by law. By default, voters’ personal data is retained for no longer than 30 days after the close of voting.

BigPulse complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and has certified compliance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework

Typically voting accounts can have personal data attached or linked to them. This can include email addresses, names and depending on the chosen anonymity standard for the ballot, votes submitted may also be linked to the voting accounts.

BigPulse has developed a sophisticated protocol for managing the deletion of personal data. For example, personal data can be deleted from voting accounts when and as required while retaining the full vote history of each ballot, de-linked from the voting accounts, and providing clients with a mechanism to verify deletion.
