Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the Tarkwa Nsuaem Media Excellence Awards ("TNMEA", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information submitted through our nomination platform and website.

By submitting a nomination or otherwise using this website, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in this Policy.

When you submit a nomination, we collect information such as the nominee's full name, popular or stage name, email address, phone number, award category, media house or organisation, social media handle, a photograph, and any additional reason or supporting information you provide.

We may also collect limited technical information automatically, such as browser type and general usage data, to help us maintain and improve the website.

We use the information collected to process and review nominations, verify nominee email addresses, communicate with nominees and nominators about the status of a submission, shortlist and judge entries, and organise the Awards ceremony.

Photographs submitted with a nomination may also be used in promotional materials connected to the Awards, as described in our Terms & Conditions.

After submitting a nomination, a verification link is sent to the email address provided. This link is used solely to confirm that the submission was made with the knowledge of the associated email address and to complete the nomination process.

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties. Information may be shared with the organising committee, the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipal Assembly, and judges involved in the Awards process, strictly for purposes connected to the Awards.

We may disclose information where required to do so by law or in response to a valid request from a competent authority.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information you provide against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain nomination information for as long as reasonably necessary to administer the current edition of the Awards, maintain records, and comply with legal obligations, after which it may be archived or securely deleted.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information you have submitted by contacting us using the details below. We will respond to reasonable requests in a timely manner, subject to any legal or administrative requirements connected to the Awards process.

This platform is intended for use by media practitioners and members of the public capable of submitting nominations responsibly. We do not knowingly collect personal information from young children in connection with the Awards.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
