Your data, handled with care
We collect as little as we can, keep it only as long as we need it, and never sell it.
Who we are
The Zanzibar Blue Excellence Awards (ZBEA) Secretariat, hosted by Karibu Events LTD, Zanzibar, Tanzania, is responsible for the data collected on this website. We process it in line with the Personal Data Protection Act, 2022 of Tanzania.
When you vote
- We use your mobile number only to send your one-time code and to make sure each number votes once per award.
- We do not store your number in readable form. We keep a one-way keyed fingerprint of it, plus a masked version (for example +255 7•• ••• 678) for audits.
- To detect automated voting, we keep a fingerprint of your network address and browser type. We don’t keep the address itself.
- Your number is never used for marketing and never shared with nominees or partners.
When you nominate
We keep the details you give about yourself and the nominee to assess the nomination, contact you or the nominee about it, and run the awards. The Judging Panel sees the nomination itself; your contact details are seen only by the Secretariat.
When you enquire about partnership
We use your details to send the prospectus and follow up about partnership.
How long we keep it
Voting records are kept until the results of the Edition are final and any challenge has been resolved, then deleted. Nominations and enquiries are kept for up to two years to run the following Edition, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your data by writing to info@karibuevents.co.tz. We use only cookies that the site needs to work: one that keeps you verified for 30 minutes after voting, and one for staff sign-in. There are no advertising or tracking cookies.
